AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide

4-26

To configure SNMP v1/v2c community definitions and SNMP v3 user definitions for the access point:

1.

Select

System Configuration

- >

SNMP Access

from the access point menu tree.

SNMP v1/v2c community definitions allow read-only or read/write access to access point
management information. The SNMP community includes users whose IP addresses are
specified on the

SNMP Access Control

screen.

A read-only community string allows a remote device to retrieve information, while a read/
write community string allows a remote device to modify settings. Motorola recommends
considering adding a community definition using a site-appropriate name and access level.
Set up a read/write definition (at a minimum) to facilitate full access by the access point
administrator.

2.

Configure the

SNMP v1/v2 Configuration

field (if SNMP v1/v2 is used) to add or delete

community definitions, name the community, specify the OID and define community access.

Add

Click

Add

to create a new SNMP v1/v2c community definition.
