SNMP Overview
SNMP defines a standard for recording, storing, and sharing information about network
devices. SNMP facilitates network management, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
The WAP device supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3. Unless specifically noted, all
configuration parameters apply to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c only. Key components of any
SNMP-managed network are managed devices, SNMP agents, and a management system. The
agents store data about their devices in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this
data to the SNMP manager when requested. Managed devices can be network nodes such as
WAP devices, routers, switches, bridges, hubs, servers, or printers.
The WAP device can function as an SNMP managed device for seamless integration into
network management systems.
