## Configure the SNMP Agent

The Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point supports SNMP Version 1, a limited feature set of SNMP Version 2, the IEEE 802.11 MIB-II and the INTEL.MIB. An SNMP manager application gains access to the access point SNMP agent if it has the access point IP address. Although the access point can be accessed through the SNMP Trap Manager to configure settings and parameters, we do not recommend this process.

To provide security when using SNMP, the agent configures as read-only, read-write or disabled . The access point sends specific traps for some conditions. Ensure the SNMP trap manager recognizes how to manage these traps.

Configuring the encryption keys using the SNMP trap manager overrides the key values for the access points accessed by the SNMP trap manager.

### Web Interface

1. Under Configuration on the left side of the screen, click SNMP.
2. Configure the access point system settings as required.
3. After changing the settings, click Save Settings at the bottom of the screen.

###

### Management Console

1. Select Set SNMP Configuration from the Main Menu.
2. Configure the settings as required.
3. Verify that the values reflect the network environment. Change them as needed.
4. Select OK or Save to register settings.
5. Select Save ALL APs-[F2] to save the SNMP Configuration information to all access points with the same SSID. This option saves the configuration changes for the current access point and sends two messages to all other access points on the Known APs table to update their configuration and reset after the configuration has been modified. You can perform this option only among the same hardware platforms and same firmware versions.

### Parameter Descriptions

SNMP Agent Mode | Defines the SNMP agent mode. Disabled disables SNMP functions. Read-only allows get and trap operations. Read/Write allows get, set and trap operations. This is the default.
Trap Host1 | The Trap Host1 manager IP address. The default is 0.0.0.0 .
Trap Host2 | The Trap Host2 manager IP address. The default is 0.0.0.0 .
Read-Only Community | A password up to 31 characters for users with read-only privileges.
Read-Write Community | A password up to 13 characters for users with read-write privileges. Ensure that the password used matches the Admin Password used to gain access to the System Password Administration screen.
All Traps | Enables or disables all trap operations. The default value is Disabled .
Cold Boot | Send a trap to the manager when the access point cold boots. The default value is Disabled .
Authentication failure | Indicates that community strings other than those specified for the Read-Only and Read/Write Community were submitted. The default value is Disabled .
Radio Restart | Send a trap to the manager for radio restart. The default value is Disabled .
Access Cntrl Violation | Send a trap to the manager when an Access Control List (ACL) violation occurs. The default value is Disabled .
DHCP Change | If enabled, this trap generates the following enterprise-specific traps: Gateway Address change Indicates the gateway address for the router has changed. IP Address Change Indicates the IP address for the access point has changed. IP Address Lease is up Indicates the IP address leased from the DHCP server is about to expire.
Wireless LAN Access Point (WLAP) Connection Change | If enabled, this trap generates the following enterprise-specific traps: Root WLAP Up Indicates that the root access point connection is set up and ready to forward data. Root WLAP Lost If the current WLAP fails to receive a beacon packet from its root access point within one second, it considers the root access point lost. The WLAP eventually resets itself to reestablish the network topology. Designated WLAP Up Indicates that the Designated WLAP connection is set up and ready to forward data. Designated WLAP Lost If the current WLAP fails to receive a Config BPDU packet from its Designated WLAP within the MAX AGE time, it considers the designated WLAP lost.
