Configuring SNMP
This section describes how to configure SNMP on your WMIC. It contains this configuration
information:

• Configuring Community Strings, page 14-5
• Configuring Trap Managers and Enabling Traps, page 14-7

• SNMP Examples, page 14-10
Default SNMP Configuration
Table 14-2 shows the default SNMP configuration.
Enabling the SNMP Agent
No specific IOS command exists to enable SNMP. The first snmp-server global configuration command
that you enter enables SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.
You can also enable SNMP on the SNMP Properties page on the web-browser interface. When you
enable SNMP on the web-browser interface, the access point automatically creates a community string
called public with read-only access to the IEEE802dot11 MIB.
Configuring Community Strings
You use the SNMP community string to define the relationship between the SNMP manager and the
agent. The community string acts like a password to permit access to the agent on the WMIC.
Optionally, you can specify one or more of these characteristics associated with the string:
• An access list of IP addresses of the SNMP managers that are permitted to use the community string
to gain access to the agent
• A MIB view, which defines the subset of all MIB objects accessible to the given community
• Read and write or read-only permission for the MIB objects accessible to the community
