System Configuration

4-25

SNMP allows a network administrator to manage network performance, find and solve network
problems, and plan for network growth. The access point supports SNMP management functions for
gathering information from its network components, communicating that information to specified
users and configuring the access point. All the fields available within the access point are also
configurable within the MIB.

The access point SNMP agent functions as a command responder and is a multilingual agent
responding to SNMPv1, v2c and v3 managers (command generators). The factory default
configuration maintains SNMPv1/2c support of the community names, hence providing backward
compatibility.

SNMP v1/v2c community definitions and SNMP v3 user definitions work independently, and both use
the Access Control List (ACL) of the

SNMP Access Control

sub-screen.

Use the

SNMP Access

screen to define SNMP v1/v2c community definitions and SNMP v3 user

definitions. SNMP version 1 (v1) provides a strong network management system, but its security is
relatively weak. The improvements in SNMP version 2c (v2c) do not include the attempted security
enhancements of other version-2 protocols. Instead, SNMP v2c defaults to SNMP-standard
community strings for read-only and read/write access. SNMP version 3 (v3) further enhances
protocol features, providing much improved security. SNMP v3 encrypts transmissions and provides
authentication for users generating requests.
