Wired Ethernet Switches
Any standalone Ethernet access switch that supports the standard SNMP MIB-II objects for wired switches can be
monitored by AirWave.
AirWave will collect the uptime and name/location/contact information for switches (or any device that supports
SNMP). For port information, AirWave relies on the IF-MIB to collect byte counts.
MAC addresses are collected from the BRIDGE MIB and RFC1213 MIB (ARP table) in order to determine AP port
assignments and identify possible rogue dvices on the network.
Some switches have additional support in AirWave:
Cisco
n Automated discovery through SNMP
n Model & software version identification
n CDP neighbor information and extended port error stats
n 3750 stack information
Juniper
n Automated discovery through SNMP
n Model & software version identification
n Rogue AP detection is supported using the Q-BRIDGE MIB
HP ProCurve
n Automated discovery through SNMP
n Model & software version identification
Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch (6250 and 6450)
n Automated discovery through SNMP
n Model & software version identification
n Stack information
n Firmware version 6.6.1.859.R01
