With that, you configured SNMPv3. Is that what you use from your monitoring software as well?
Maybe easier to use the WebUI under Configuration - System - Then enable Advanced options - SNMP:
On the CLI with the command: 'show snmp-configuration' you can see what's configured.

Subject: AP-505 SNMP
Quite possibly a dumb question. I have searched here (with no real luck) and my google fu is weak for this subject.
Running 17 AP-505's using built in controller (not external). I find no way to enable SNMP. What little I did find was command line
snmp-server user <username> auth <auth-protocol> auth-pass plaintext <auth-password> priv <priv-protocol> priv-pass plaintext <priv-password>
and it seemed to take but my snmp monitoring software still doesn't see snmp enabled. Am I doing something wrong or is SNMP just not available on this device without an external controller?
