Appendix D. SNMP MIBs
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) defines a standard for recording, storing, and sharing information about network devices. SNMP is a subset of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). SNMP facilitates network management, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Key components of any SNMP-managed network are managed devices, SNMP agents, and a management system. The agents store data about their devices in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP management system when requested. Managed devices can be network nodes such as access point base stations, routers, switches, bridges, hubs, servers, or printers.
The Devicescape Enterprise-Managed AP can function as an SNMP managed device for seamless integration into network management systems such as HP OpenView or Instant802™ Conductor Help Desk. The Devicescape Enterprise-Managed AP version 1.1 supports the following standard SNMP MIBs:
- SNMP v1 and v2 MIBs
- IEEE802.11 MIB
- Two Instant802 proprietary MIBs based on the upcoming IEEE 802.11k MIB support the Devicescape Enterprise-Managed AP client association list and AP detection table, respectively.
Start/stop control of SNMP agents, community password configuration, and access to MIBs is provided through the Devicescape Enterprise-Managed AP command line interface (CLI).
