Default SNMP Configuration
Table 18-3 shows the default SNMP configuration.
Enabling the SNMP Agent
No specific CLI command exists to enable SNMP. The first snmp-server global configuration command
that you enter enables the supported versions of SNMP.
You can also enable SNMP on the SNMP Properties page on the web-browser interface. When you
enable SNMP on the web-browser interface, the access point automatically creates a community string
called public with read-only access to the IEEE802dot11 MIB.
