SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
3.6.4 SNMP
The subsections below describe SNMP Management Interfaces configuration parameters. Click on the blue [SNMP
Configuration] link shown in Figure 3-4 to access the screen. See Figure 3-7.
3.6.4.1 SNMP Versions
SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 are the supported network management versions. Only one version can be active at a time.
3.6.4.2 Communities
Community configuration is required for SNMP v2c only. The communities are simple passwords for an SNMP
polling agent that control whether the agent can perform read, write, or both types of operations on SNMP objects
in the radio. The default communities are “public” and “private” with read-only and read-write operations permitted,
respectively.
3.6.4.3 Traps
SNMP traps are notifications that are sent to pre-defined destinations when certain events occur. These event
notifications are useful in large, heavily managed network infrastructures because they simplify the network
manager's monitoring responsibilities. Depending on the network management tool used, traps can initiate high-
priority e-mails or SMS text messages to a network administrator that can be used to quickly diagnose a problem
with the network.
