Configuring Specific SNMP Traps

Use the SNMP Traps screen to enable specific traps on the Mobility 7131 Access Point. Brocade
Mobility recommends defining traps to capture unauthorized devices operating within the Mobility
7131 Access Point coverage area. 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, traps can be sent using configurations for both SNMP v1/v2c and v3. To
configure specific SNMP traps on the Mobility 7131 Access Point:

1. Select System Configuration - > SNMP Access - > SNMP Traps from the menu tree.

Port

Specify a destination User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for receiving traps.

Username

Enter a username specific to the SNMP-capable client receiving the traps.

Security Level

Use the

Security Level

drop-down menu 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).

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

.

If 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.
