Management and Monitoring Capabilities
2.2.2 Telnet
You can access the device through CLI by using Telnet. With Telnet, you can communicate with the device through LAN
(switch, hub and so on), the Internet, or with an Ethernet cable connected directly to your computer’s Ethernet port.
2.2.3 Secure Shell (SSH)
You can securely access the device through CLI by using Secure Shell (SSH). The device supports SSH version 2, for secure
remote CLI (Telnet) sessions. SSH provides strong authentication and encryption of session data. The SSH server has host keys
- a pair of asymmetric keys (a private key that resides on the device) and a public key that is distributed to clients that need to connect
to the device. Clients need to verify that it is communicating with the correct SSH server.
2.3 SNMP Management
You can also configure, manage and monitor the device by using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This
requires an SNMP Manager Program (sometimes called MIB browser) or a Network Manager program using SNMP. The device
supports the following Management Information Base (MIB) files that describe the parameters that can be viewed and/or
configured over SNMP:
• PXM-SNMP.mib (Enterprise MIB)
• RFC-1213.mib (MIB-II)
• RFC-1215.mib (Trap MIB)
• RFC-1757-RMON.mib (Remote Monitoring)
• RFC-2571.mib (SNMP Framework)
• RFC-3411-SNMP-FRAME-WORK.mib (SNMP Framework)
• RFC-2790.mib (Host Resources)
• RFC-3291-INET-ADDRESS-MIB.mib
• RFC-3412.mib (SNMP-MPD-MIB)
• RFC-3414.mib (SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB)
• SFLOW.mib
The PXM MIB files are available on the Proxim support site (http://support.proxim.com). You must compile one or more of these
MIB files into your SNMP program’s database before you manage your device using SNMP.
The enterprise MIB (PXM-SNMP.mib) defines the Read and Read/Write objects that can be viewed or configured using SNMP.
These objects correspond to most of the settings and statistics that are available with other management interfaces. The MIB can
be opened with any text editor, such as Microsoft Word, Notepad, or WordPad.
