Uplink Connectivity Monitor
It monitors the uplinks of
the managed Access Points, either wired or wireless, by
checking to see if the gateway/custom IP can be reached.
The monitor and wireless uplink capability are enabled by
default.
•
Use default gateway
Enabled by default. All managed
Access Points will use the gateway of the Access Point
that is providing IP information, either by DHCP or Static
designation.
•
Use custom IP
Select Use custom IP to specify an
IP address; all managed Access Points will use the IP
address you enter in the Uplink IP address field.
SNMP
Select this option to activate the SNMP
(Simple Network Monitor Protocol) agent. SNMP
is an application layer protocol that facilitates the
exchange of management information between
network devices. Network administrators use SNMP
to monitor network-attached devices for issues that
warrant attention.
•
Community String
Specify the SNMP community
string. It is required to authenticate access to MIB
(Management Information Base) objects and functions
as an embedded password. The device supports a
read-only community string; authorized management
stations have read access to all the objects in the MIB
except the community strings, but do not have write
access. The device supports SNMP v1. The default
is public.
Remote Logging
Enable to define a remote syslog server.
Enter the IP address and port of the syslog server.
Device Password
The Device Password protects SSH
access to the UniFi APs. It is randomly generated when you
create a site. All devices in the same site share the same
SSH username and password. You can also make changes:
•
Username
Enter the new username.
•
Password
Enter the new password.
