Configuring SNMP settings

4

SNMP v1/v2c community definitions allow read-only or read/write access to Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR 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. Brocade 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 Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR 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.

Delete

Select Delete to remove a SNMP v1/v2c community definition.

Community

Use the Community field to specify a site-appropriate name for the
community. The name is required to match the name used within
the remote network management software.

OID

Use the OID (Object Identifier) pull-down list to specify a setting of
All or a enter a Custom OID. Select All to assign the user access to
all OIDs in the MIB. The OID field uses numbers expressed in dot
notation.

Access

Use the Access pull-down list to specify read-only (R) access or
read/write (RW) access for the community. Read-only access
allows a remote device to retrieve access point information, while
read/write access allows a remote device to modify access point
settings.
