Enter a read-only community name. 

The community name, as defined in SNMPv2c, acts as a 
simple authentication mechanism to restrict the machines 
on the network that can request data to the SNMP agent. 
The name functions as a password, and the request is 
assumed to be authentic if the sender knows the 
password.

The community name can be in any alphanumeric format. 
Double quote (") is not a valid character.

By default, an SNMP agent only listens to requests from 
port 161. However, you can configure this parameter so 
that the agent listens to requests on another port.

Enter the port number on which you want the SNMP 
agents to listen to requests.

This is a global SNMP parameter that applies to 

SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.

You can choose whether or not to allow SNMP set 
requests on the access point. Enabling SNMP set 
requests means that machines on the network can 
execute configuration changes by using the SNMP agent 
on the access point to the Cisco System MIB. 

To enable SNMP set requests, click Enabled.

To disable SNMP set requests click Disabled.

If you have enabled SNMP set requests you can set a 
read-write community name.

Setting a community name is similar to setting a 
password. Only requests from the machines that identify 
themselves with this community name will be accepted.

The community name can be in any alphanumeric format. 
Double quote (") is not a valid character.
