Configuring the SNMP

Agent

An SNMP manager application gains access to the AP SNMP agent if it has the AP
IP address. The agent configures as read-only, read-write or disabled to provide
security when using SNMP. The AP sends specific traps for some conditions. Ensure
the SNMP trap manager recognizes how to manage these traps.

See the 3Com MIB on the Wireless LAN Installation and Utilities disk for
specific entries.

The AP supports SNMP V1, MIB-II and the 3Com.MIB. To configure the SNMP
agent, use the following procedure.

1 Select Set SNMP Configuration from the Main Menu, which generates the SNMP

Configuration window.

2 Configure the settings as required.

For automatic dial-out, reset the AP.
