Appendix C - SNMP Variables
The Aironet Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge supports the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). SNMP provides an industry standard mechanism for the exchange of
information in a TCP/IP based internet environment.
The resident SNMP agent is compliant with subsets of the (Management Information
Base) MIB-I and MIB-II for TCP/IP based internets as defined in Internet’s Request For
Changes (RFC) 1156 and 1213. Since the Aironet Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge does
not perform any IP routing or forwarding, certain (groups of) managed objects are not
meaningful. For SNMP requests pertaining to such managed objects, the node simply
returns a “no such name” error status in the response.
The Object ID (OID) prefix for the Aironet Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge resides under
the Structure of Managed Information (SMI) tree for private enterprises in the
Telxon.arlan.devices (551.2.1) branch. The system object identifier for the Aironet
Ethernet Bridge is (1.3.6.1.4.1.551.2.1.76) and for the Aironet Token Ring Bridge
(1.3.6.1.4.1.551.2.1.77). The resident agent also supports a custom MIB that allows a
management station to read/modify most of the parameters that may be set through the
Console Menus. For a machine readable version of the custom MIB, contact Aironet
Wireless Communications.
