Enabling SNMP Traps
SNMP provides the ability to send traps to notify the administrator that trap conditions are met.
Traps are network packets containing data relating to network devices, or SNMP agents, that send
the traps. SNMP management applications can receive and interpret these packets, and optionally
can perform responsive actions. SNMP trap generation is programmable on a trap-by-trap basis.
Use the SNMP Traps Configuration screen to enable traps and to configure appropriate settings for
reporting this information. Trap configuration depends on the network machine that receives the
generated traps. SNMP v1/v2c and v3 trap configurations function independently. In a mixed
SNMP environment, generated traps can be sent using configurations for both SNMP v1/v2c and
v3.
To configure SNMP traps on the Mobility 7131 Access Point:
1. Select System Configuration - > SNMP Access - > SNMP Trap Configuration from the Mobility
7131 Access Point menu tree.
Access Control List Enter Start IP and End IP addresses (numerical addresses only, no DNS names supported)
to specify a range of user that can access the Mobility 7131 Access Point SNMP interface.
An SNMP-capable client can be set up whereby only the administrator (for example) can
use a read/write community definition.
Use just the Starting IP Address column to specify a single SNMP user. Use both the
Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address columns to specify a range of addresses for
SNMP users.
To add a single IP address to the ACL, enter the same IP address in the Start IP and End IP
fields.
Leave the ACL blank to allow access to the SNMP interface from the IP addresses of all
authorized users.
Add Click Add to create a new ACL entry.
Edit Click Edit to revise an existing ACL entry.
Delete Click Delete to remove a selected ACL entry for one or more SNMP users.
OK Click Ok to return to the SNMP Access screen. Click Apply within the SNMP Access screen
to save any changes made on the SNMP Access Control screen.
Cancel Click Cancel to undo any changes made on the SNMP Access Control screen. This reverts
all settings for this screen to the last saved configuration.
