Configuring SNMP

Read and write or read-only permission for the MIB objects accessible to

the community

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a
community string on the access point:

1. Enter global configuration mode.

configure terminal

2. Configure the community string.

For string, specify a string that acts like a password and permits access to

the SNMP protocol. You can configure one or more community strings
of any length.

(Optional) For access-list-number, enter an IP standard access list

numbered from 1…99 and 1300…1999.

(Optional) For view mib-view, specify a MIB view where the

community has access, such as ieee802dot11.

See the

Using the snmp-server view Command on page 517

for

instructions on using the snmp-server view command to access
Standard IEEE 802.11 MIB objects through IEEE view.

(Optional) Specify either read-only (ro) if you want authorized

management stations to retrieve MIB objects, or specify read/write
(rw) if you want authorized management stations to retrieve and
modify MIB objects. By default, the community string permits read-
only access to all objects.

snmp-server community string

[ access-list-number ]

[ view mib-view ]

[ro | rw]

3. (Optional) If you specified an IP standard access list number in Step 2,

then create the list, repeating the command as many times as necessary.
For access-list-number, enter the access list number specified in Step 2.
The deny keyword denies access if the conditions are matched. The

permit keyword permits access if the conditions are matched.

TIP

In the current Cisco IOS MIB agent implementation, the default community
string is for the Internet MIB object sub-tree. Because IEEE802dot11 is under
another branch of the MIB object tree, you must enable either a separate
community string and view on the IEEE802dot11 MIB or a common view and
community string on the ISO object in the MIB object tree.

ISO is the common parent node of IEEE (IEEE802dot11) and Internet. This MIB
agent behavior is different from the MIB agent behavior on access points not
running Cisco IOS software.

TIP

To access the IEEE802dot11 MIB, you must enable either a separate community
string and view on the IEEE802dot11 MIB or a common view and community
string on the ISO object in the MIB object tree.
