System Configuration

6-38

Community Name (Read/Write) – Defines the SNMP community access string that

has read/write access. Authorized management stations are able to both retrieve

and modify MIB objects. (Maximum length: 23 characters, case sensitive;

Default: private)

Trap Destination (1 to 4) – Enables recipients (up to four) of SNMP notifications.

• Trap Destination IP Address – Specifies the recipient of SNMP notifications. Enter

the IP address or the host name. (Host Name: 1 to 63 characters, case sensitive)

• Trap Destination Community Name – The community string sent with the

notification operation. (Maximum length: 23 characters, case sensitive;

Default: public)

Engine ID – Sets the engine identifier for the SNMPv3 agent that resides on the

access point. This engine protects against message replay, delay, and redirection.

The engine ID is also used in combination with user passwords to generate the

security keys for authenticating and encrypting SNMPv3 packets. A default engine

ID is automatically generated that is unique to the access point. (Range: 10 to 64

hexadecimal characters)

Note: If the local engine ID is deleted or changed, all SNMP users will be cleared. All

existing users will need to be re-configured. If you want to change the default

engine ID, change it first before configuring other SNMP v3 parameters.
