Summit WM20 Technical Reference Guide, Software Version 4.2 83
10 SNMP MIBs
Summit WM Controller is the main repository of all configuration and statistical data for itself and all
Wireless APs, WM-ADs and attached Mobile Units. SNMP is one of the user interfaces to retrieve such
information.
For retrieval of such information, Summit WM Controller supports a subset of MIB-II, as well as
proprietary MIBs. In implementation of standard MIBs, all Wireless APs and their interfaces are
presented as extensions of the Summit WM Controller, as if they are physical interfaces of the Summit
WM Controller. Each WM-AD is also presented as one of the interfaces of Summit WM Controller. The
supported MIBs are:
● IF-MIB
● RFC1213
● SNMPv2-MIB
● IEEE802dot11-MIB
● EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-DOT11-EXTS-MIB
● EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-MIB.my
● EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-PRODUCT-MIB
● EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-BRANCH-OFFICE-MIB
NOTE
When enabling SNMP for a Summit WM Controller, use the Publish AP as interface of controller drop-down list to
enable or disable publishing the Wireless AP and their interfaces as interfaces of the Summit WM Controller. By
default this option is enabled.
When this option is enabled, all Wireless APs and their interfaces are published as interfaces of the Summit WM
Controller when you retrieve topology statistics and configuration information using the SNMP protocol.
Topology statistics and configuration information on Wireless APs are retrievable using both proprietary and standard
MIB. The Publish AP as interface of controller option only affects information retrieved through standard MIB, i.e.
IF-MIB, RFC1213. All information that is retrieved through proprietary MIB is not affected. If the Publish AP as
interface of controller option is disabled, the Wireless APs' interfaces are not considered interfaces of the Summit
WM Controller.
For example, if the Publish AP as interface of controller option is disabled, querying the ifTable would return
information on the Summit WM Controller physical interfaces, plus all WM-ADs that are configured on that
controller. If enabled, querying the same table would return the above information, in addition to information on
each Wireless APs’ interfaces.
IF-MIB
Summit WM Controller supports ifTable and ifXTable tables in this MIB. These tables return
information about all physical interfaces of Summit WM Controller as well as WM-ADs as interface
objects and Wireless AP interfaces. The description of each interface helps identify the interface object.
