Chapter 8 Manage Your Access Point
4. Configure the SNMP agent according to your actual network requirement.
•
SysContact – Enter the contact email address of the node to be managed.
•
SysName – Set a user-defined name for the node to be managed.
•
SysLocation – Enter the physical location of the node to be managed.
•
Get Community – Enter the community name that allows read-only access to the
device’s SNMP information. The community name is considered as a group password.
The default setting is
public.
•
Get Source – Enter the IP address or subnet that management systems can read
information from this ‘get’ community.
Note: A restricted source can be a specific IP address (e.g. 10.10.10.1), or a subnet - represented as IP/BITS (e.g.
10.10.10.0/24). If 0.0.0.0 is specified as the IP address, the agent will accept all requests under the corresponding
community name.
• Set Community – Enter the community name that allows read/write access to the
device’s SNMP information. The community name can be considered as a group
password. The default setting is
private.
•
Set Source – Enter the IP address or subnet that management systems can read and
write to this ‘set’ community.
Note: A restricted source can be a specific IP address (e.g. 10.10.10.1), or a subnet - represented as IP/BITS (e.g.
10.10.10.0/24). If 0.0.0.0 is specified as the IP address, the agent will accept all requests under the corresponding
community name.
5. Click SAVE.
8. 4. Configure the Ping Watchdog
Ping Watchdog allows the access point to continuously ping a specific remote host
for connection status using a user-defined IP address (or an internet gateway). If it is
unable to ping the target IP address under the user-defined constraints, the device will
automatically reboot.
1. Visit
http://tplinkap.net, and log in with the password you set for the access point.
2. Go to
System > Ping Watchdog.
3. Enable
Ping Watchdog.
