Appendix C - SNMP Variables
The Aironet Wireless Client supports the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). SNMP provides an industry standard mechanism for the exchange of informa-
tion 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 Wireless Client 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 Wireless Client 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 Wireless Client is
(1.3.6.1.4.1.551.2.1.86). 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.
