Wireless Access Point
198 Configuring the Wireless AP
Complete SNMP details for the AP, including trap descriptions, are found in the
Xirrus MIB, available at support.xirrus.com, in the Downloads section (login is
required to download the MIB).
NOTE: If you are managing your APs with XMS (the Xirrus Management System), it
is very important to make sure that your SNMP settings match those that you have
configured for XMS. XMS uses both SNMP v2 and v3, with v3 given preference.
Procedure for Configuring SNMP
SNMPv2 Settings
1. Enable SNMPv2: Click the checkbox to the left of the Enabled label to
enable or disable SNMP v2 functionality. When used in conjunction with
the Xirrus Management System, SNMP v2 (not SNMP v3) must be
enabled on each AP to be managed with XMS. The default for this feature
is Enabled.
2. SNMP Read-Write Community String: Enter the read-write community
string. The default is xirrus.
3. SNMP Read-Only Community String: Enter the read-only community
string. The default is xirrus_read_only.
SNMPv3 Settings
4. Enable SNMPv3: Click the checkbox to the left of the Enabled label to
enable or disable SNMP v3 functionality. The default for this feature is
Enabled.
5. Authentication: Select the desired method for authenticating SNMPv3
packets: Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) or Message Digest Algorithm 5
(MD5).
6. Privacy: Select the desired method for encrypting data: Data Encryption
Standard (DES) or the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
