ePMP: Configuring AP System Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

The AP’s System page is used to configure system parameters, services, time settings, SNMP and syslog.  This post looks at the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Attributes. 

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Read-Only Community String

Specify a control string that can allow a Network Management Station (NMS) such as the Cambium Networks Services Server (CNSS) to read SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. This password will never authenticate an SNMP user or an NMS to read/write access.

The Read-only Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor.

Read-Write Community String

Specify a control string that can allow a Network Management Station (NMS) to access SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string.

System Name

Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter can be polled by the Cambium Networks Services Server (CNSS) or an NMS. Special characters are supported.

System Description

Specify a description string to associate with the physical module. This parameter can be polled by the Cambium Networks Services Server (CNSS) or an NMS. Special characters are supported.

Traps

Disabled:  SNMP traps for system events are not sent from the device.

Enabled:  SNMP traps for system events are sent to the servers configured in table Trap Servers.

Trap Community String

Configure a SNMP Trap Community String which is processed by the servers configured in Trap Servers.  This string is used by the trap server to decide whether or not to process the traps incoming from the device (i.e. for traps to successfully be received by the trap server, the community string must match).

Trap Servers

The Trap Servers table is used to configure trap destinations for SNMP traps generated by the device.

Server IP

Configure the IP address of each SNMP trap server target.

Server Port

Configure the port to which SNMP traps are sent from the ePMP device.
