Configuring SNMP
The controller supports the
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for retrieving statistics and configuration
information. If you enable SNMP on the controller, you can choose either SNMPv3 or
SNMPv1/v2 mode. If you configure the controller to use SNMPv3, then any request
other than SNMPv3 request is rejected. The same is true if you configure the
controller to use SNMPv1/v2.
To Configure SNMP:
-
From the top menu, click
Controller. The
Wireless
Controller Configuration screen displays.
-
In the left pane, click
. The SNMP screen displays.
-
In the SNMP Common
Settings section, configure the following:
- Mode — Select SNMPv1/v2c or SNMPv3 to enable
SNMP.
- Contact Name — The name
of the SNMP administrator.
- Location — The physical
location of the controller running the SNMP agent.
- SNMP Port — The
destination port for the SNMP traps. Possible ports are 0–65555.
- Forward Traps — The
lowest severity level of SNMP trap that you want to forward.
- Publish AP as interface of
controller — Enable or disable SNMP publishing of the access
point as an interface to the controller.
-
Select the tab for the
SNMP version you are configuring. For more information, see:
