21.3 Configuring SNMP Settings
Start/stop control of SNMP agents, community password configuration, access to
MIBs, and configuration of SNMP Trap destinations is provided through the 9160
G2 Wireless Gateway, as described below.
Field Description
SNMP Enabled/Disabled You can choose whether or not you want to enable SNMP on your network. By default
SNMP is disabled.
• To enable SNMP, click Enabled.
• To disable SNMP, click Disabled.
Note: If you do not enable SNMP, all remaining fields on the SNMP page will
be disabled.
Read-only community
name for permitted GETs Enter a read-only community name.
The community name, as defined in SNMPv2c, acts as a simple authentication mecha-
nism to restrict the machines on the network that can request data to the SNMP agent.
The name functions as a password and the request is assumed to be authentic if the
sender knows the password.
The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.
Port number the SNMP
agent will listen to By default an SNMP agent only listens to requests from port 161. However, you can con-
figure this so the agent listens to requests on another port.
Enter the port number on which you want the SNMP agents to listen to requests.
Allow SNMP SET Requests You can choose whether or not to allow SNMP SET requests.
Enabling SET requests means that machines on the network can execute SET requests
to the configured agent on the AP.
Note: SET requests are restricted to the proprietary System MIB.
• To enable SNMP SET requests, click Enabled.
• To disable SNMP SET requests, click Disabled.
Read-write community
name for permitted SETs If you have enabled SNMP SET requests, you can set a read-write community name.
Setting a community name is similar to setting a password. Only requests from the
machines that identify themselves with this community name will be accepted.
The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.
