SNMP Traps and Error Reporting
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
zl 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 zl
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.)
SNMP Communities
The Wireless Edge Services zl Modules uses the following community names:
■ public
■ private
■ trap
Each community name is assigned an access control, which determines the operations
an SNMP server can complete on the Wireless Edge Services zl Module:
■ Read-only—The SNMP server can retrieve information from the module.
■ Read-write—The SNMP server can retrieve information and modify the config-
uration settings.
By default, the public and trap communities have read-only access, and the private
community has read-write access.
The Wireless Edge Services zl Module uses the following SNMP v1/c2 community
names:
■ public
■ private
■ trap
You can also set up traps using the SNMP v3 trap user.
