SNMP v3 user definitions allow read-only or read/write access to management
information as appropriate.

4. Specify the users who can read and optionally modify the SNMP-capable client.

5. If configuring SNMP v3 user definitions, set the SNMP v3 engine ID.

6. Click Apply to save any changes to the SNMP Access screen. Navigating away from the screen

without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost.

7. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the

settings displayed on the SNMP Access screen to the last saved configuration.

8. Click Logout to securely exit the Mobility 7131 Access Point Access Point applet. A prompt

displays confirming the logout before the applet is closed.

Add

Click

Add

to create a new entry for an SNMP v3 user.

Delete

Select

Delete

to remove an entry for an SNMP v3 user.

Username

Specify a username by typing an alphanumeric string of up to 31 characters.

Security Level

Use the

Security Level

area to specify a security level of noAuth (no authorization),

AuthNoPriv (authorization without privacy), or AuthPriv (authorization with privacy).
The

NoAuth

setting specifies no login authorization or encryption for the user.

The

AuthNoPriv

setting requires login authorization, but no encryption.

The

AuthPriv

setting requires login authorization and uses the Data Encryption Standard

(DES) protocol.

OID

Use the

OID

(Object Identifier) area to specify a setting of All or enter a Custom OID. Select

All

to assign the user access to all OIDs in the MIB. The OID field uses numbers expressed

in dot notation.

Passwords

Select

Passwords

to display the

Password Settings

screen for specifying

authentication and password settings for an SNMP v3 user. The maximum password length
is 11 characters. Use the

Authentication Algorithm

drop-down menu to specify

MD5

or

SHA1

as the authentication algorithm. Use the Privacy Algorithm drop-down menu to

define an algorithm of

DES

or

AES-128bit

.

When entering the same username on the

SNMP Traps

and

SNMP Access

screens, the

password entered on the SNMP Traps page overwrites the password entered on the SNMP
Access page. To avoid this problem, enter the same password on both pages.

Access

Use the

Access

pull-down list to specify read-only (R) access or read/write (RW) access for

a user. Read-only access permits a user to retrieve

Mobility 7131 Access Point

information, while read/write access allows a user to modify

Mobility 7131 Access

Point

settings.

SNMP Access Control

Click the

SNMP Access Control

button to display the

SNMP Access Control

screen for specifying which users can read SNMP-generated information and
potentially modify related settings from an SNMP-capable client.
The SNMP Access Control screen's Access Control List (ACL) uses Internet Protocol
(IP) addresses to restrict access to the AP’s SNMP interface. The ACL applies to both
SNMP v3 user definitions and SNMP v1/v2c community definitions.
For detailed instructions of configuring SNMP user access and modification
privileges, see Configuring SNMP Access Control on page 4-92.

SNMP v3 Engine ID

The Mobility 7131 Access Point

SNMP v3 Engine ID

field lists the unique SNMP

v3 Engine ID for the Mobility 7131 Access Point. This ID is used in SNMP v3 as the
source for a trap, response or report. It is also used as the destination ID when
sending get, getnext, getbulk, set or inform commands.
