To disable password encryption, you must access the CLI and enter this
command from the global configuration mode context:
ProCurve(wireless-services-C)(config)# no password-encryption
All previously configured passwords, as well as all new passwords, now are
displayed in plaintext.
You cannot disable password encryption from the Web browser interface.
SNMP Traps and Error Reporting
SNMP is an industry-standard protocol that allows you to manage and monitor
a variety of network devices from a central location. Specifically, you can
configure these SNMP-compliant devices and apply consistent security and
management policies to these devices across your network. By default, the
Wireless Edge Services xl Module supports SNMP v1, v2, and v3.
In addition to providing support for SNMP applications, SNMP v3 is required
for the Web browser interface to function. If you attempt to disable support
for SNMP v3, a warning message is displayed. Disabling SNMP v3 also disables
the applet required for the Web browser interface, and you will be logged out.
You will be unable to access the Web browser interface until you enable
SNMP v3 again.
SNMP support also enables you to set up alarms on the Wireless Edge Services
xl Module. You simply enable the SNMP traps for the alarms you want to log.
(For more information, see “Enabling SNMP Traps” on page 2-113.)
