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

3. Configure the SNMP v3 User Definitions field (if SNMP v3 is used) to add and configure SNMP

v3 user definitions.

settings.
