Configure SNMP on standalone AP305C (WiNG)

Atadi — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 13:48:37 GMT

Hi there,

I have a few standalone AP305C's running with WiNG (not IQE), and have no internet access.
I am trying to find documentation on how to enable SNMP on these so that I can start monitoring them.
I know they support it if using a controller or if managed by CloudIQ (requires switching to IQE), however how is this achieved if the APs are running standalone with WiNG?

It seems like alot of features have been remove from these, not just the webui.

Hi Atadi,
first step is to configure your SNMP details in a management policy.
Commands are like:
no snmp-server manager v1
no nmp-server manager v2
snmp-server manager v3
snmp-server community 0 private rw
snmp-server community 0 public ro
snmp-server user snmptrap v3 encrypted des auth md5 0 motorola
snmp-server user snmpmanager v3 encrypted des auth md5 0 motorola
snmp-server enable traps
snmp-server throttle 100
snmp-server max-pending-requests 128
snmp-server request-timeout 240
snmp-server suppress-security-configuration-level 0
no snmp-server display-vlan-info-per-radio
snmp-server bulk-max-repetitions 100

The managament policy needs to be assigned to the AP. Either in the AP profile or AP override.

Second step is to create an event-policy where you need to enable snmp for the events you want to see:
E.g.: AP(config-event-system-policy-test)#event diag cpu-load syslog default snmp on default forward-to-switch default email default
If you want to see all available events, create a new event policy and use the command show context include-factory
The event-policy needs to be assigned to the AP too. E.g. in the AP profile or the AP override.

Thank you @Angelo_Cargnel that was exactly what I needed.
Do you happen to have a link to some configuration parameters that you care to share?
Documentation for these APs is not easy to come by.

Have a look here: https://documentation.extremenetworks.com/WiNG/7.9.4/WING_CLI_REF

You will find all CLI commands for all available policies.
For some policies (e.g. event-system-policy) you have to look into the PDF file, available on the same website.

Also, when you download the fresh image / firmware, there is MIB folder which contains Management Information Base for advanced SNMP Polling. You can test with SNMPwalk for different OIDs.
