| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Type a Name for the server. |
| Description | (Optional) Type a brief Description for the server. Although optional, entering a description is helpful for troubleshooting and for identifying the server. |
| SNMP Contact | Type the SNMP Contact contact information for the SNMP server administrator, so they can be contacted if necessary. This can be an email address, telephone number, physical location, or a combination. |
| Disable to Send traps over CAPWAP | Clear the check box for Disable to Send traps over CAPWAP to enable devices to send trap information (events and alarms) to ExtremeCloud IQ over a CAPWAP connection, or leave the box checked to disable this action. |
| SNMP Server | Select an SNMP server from the drop-down list. Choose the IP address or host name object for the SNMP server or servers that will access the devices. To permit management access from a single SNMP server, choose an IP address or host name that defines only that server. To permit management access from an entire subnet, choose an IP address or host name that defines that subnet. If you do not see the IP address or host name that you need, select + and define one. |
| Version | From the drop-down list, select the version of SNMP that is running on the management station that you intend to use. |
| Operation | Select the type of activity to permit between the specified SNMP
management station and the devices in the network policy to which
you will assign this profile. Options include:
|
| Community | For SNMP V2C and V1, enter a text string that must accompany queries from the management station. The community string acts similarly to a password, such that devices accept queries only from management stations that send the correct community string. |
