Setting Up the Access Point
Setting the SNMP Community Names
You can manage the access point from a network management station running
a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management application,
such as ProCurve Manager.
The access point SNMP agent supports SNMP versions 1 and 2c. Management
access from SNMP v1 or v2c stations is controlled by community names. To
communicate with the access point, an SNMP v1 or v2c management station
must first submit a valid community name for authentication.
The default community names are public for read-only access and private for
read/write access. If you intend to support SNMP v1 or v2c managers, HP
recommends that you change the default community names to prevent unau-
thorized access.
Figure 4-15. SNMP Community Page
To change the default SNMP community names:
1. On the menu, click SNMP. The SNMP Community page appears.
2. To establish a public read-only SNMP community, type a name text string
to replace the default community name (public) in the Read Only text
field.
