Chapter 2. Overview
SNMP
Each PacketWave 200 includes an SNMP agent supporting the following MIBs:
• SNMP MIB (RFC 1157)
• MIB II (RFC 1213)
•Aperto private MIB
The complete MIBs are provided on the PacketWave CD, and are available on the Aperto
Web site,
www.apertonet.com .
SNMP can be used to read configuration, status, and performance data from Subscriber
Units. In addition, SNMP can be used to change some configuration parameters (those
which can be changed via the Web GUI), and to upload the configuration changes to the
TFTP server (if the TFTP server is configured to accept uploads).
The SNMP agents support trap reporting. Trap-reporting parameters can be specified via
the Configuration Manager and the Web GUI as well as via SNMP.
Event Reporting
The PacketWave 200 offers several means of reporting subscriber equipment events:
• E-mail messages — The PacketWave 200 can be configured (via the Configuration
Manager, the Web GUI, or SNMP) to report events via e-mail to specified addresses.
• SNMP traps — The PacketWave 200 SNMP agent supports trap reporting. Trap-
reporting parameters can be specified via the WaveCenter Configuration Manager,
the Web GUI, or SNMP.
• Syslog — The PacketWave 200 supports logging of event messages to a desig-
nated server according to the Syslog protocol. If Syslog is employed, the Syslog
server must be identified in the Subscriber Unit configuration file created using the
WaveCenter Configuration Manager.
Use of Syslog is strongly recommended as a means of providing a record of
system events for performance management and troubleshooting.
• Event log — A historical event log can be displayed on request via the Web GUI.
For information about specific PacketWave 200 events which can be reported, see
Appendix B.
