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
configuration 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 commu-
nity names:
