Using SNMP Interface to Manage the Access Point
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol designed to facilitate the exchange
of management information between network devices. It is a part of TCP/IP protocol and most of the network
administrators use it.
SNMP MIB (Management Information Base) is a collection of information that is organized hierarchically and it
comprises of managed objects which have one or more object instances which are variable. MIBs can be accessed
using a network-management protocol such as SNMP.
There are two types of managed objects:
• Scalar Object: These are single object instance.
• Tabular Object: These are multiple related objects that are grouped in MIB table.
SNMP is a client-server network management architecture. A server requests information from a client’s MIB. A
particular MIB defines some number of Object Identifiers (OIDs). These OIDs are what is used to request information
from a client.
NOTE: Refer to the supplemental document for MIB description to configure the AP-800.
Pre-requisites
Before you proceed with configuration, you need to confirm following information:
• Proxim provides the MIB along with the CD. You need to ensure that you have configured the IP address in the MIB
browser.
NOTE: Proxim recommends using PVES to make configuration changes, If you want to browse the MIB, then
Proxim recommends to use NuDesign.
• IP address
• Version of SNMP: Select the V2c version of SNMP.
• Port Number: By default the port number is set to 161.
• Read Community Password
• Read/Write Community Password
NOTE: To receive traps, MgmtSnmpTrapHostTablePassword should be same as MgmtSNMPTeadPassword.
Viewing the MIB Objects
1. Once you have configured the required information, open the MIB in the MIB browser. To open the MIB, you need to
provide a specific path and click Enter.
2. Navigate to the Proxim in private node.
• To view all the objects that are available, right-click and select Walk. This will display all the default and
configured objects.
• To view a particular object, select the object, right-click and click Get. This will display the selected configured
object.
