Configuring Management Utilities

Access points also support SNMP. The administrator can configure all or some of the APs to 
access data using SNMP as well as receive traps from the APs. The APs can be acting as Air 
Monitors (AMs) when they are used to access information about the wireless network using 
SNMP. The SNMP configuration for the APs can be done at a global level (thereby being 
applicable for all the APs in the network), or for a particular set of APs by using the AP location 
codes. 

To configure SNMP parameters for access points in the network at a global level:

Privacy protocol

An indication of whether messages 
sent on behalf of this user can be 
protected from disclosure, and if so, the 
type of privacy protocol being used.

This takes the value DES (CBC-DES 
Symmetric Encryption Protocol).

Privacy protocol 
password

If messages sent on behalf of this user 
can be encrypted/decrypted, the 
(private) privacy key for use with the 
privacy protocol.

String password for DES.

Note: The configuration for access points is always done on the master WFS709TP only.
