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.
