10.1.1.4 Setting the SNMP Configuration
 Adding or Editing a Management Access Policy
The AP-6511 can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to communicate with wireless devices.
SNMP is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information. SNMP
enabled devices listen on port 162 (by default) for SNMP packets from the management server. SNMP uses
read-only and read-write community strings as an authentication mechanism to monitor and configure
supported devices. The read-only community string is used to gather statistical data and configuration
parameters from a supported wireless device. The read-write community string is used by a management
server to set device parameters. SNMP is generally used to monitor a system’s performance and other
parameters.
To configure SNMP Management Access within the network:
1. Select the SNMP tab from the Management Policy screen.
