Chapter 3
AP and AM
The AP and AM module provides information about access points and air monitors. The access point (AP) is a
device or an application that connects the wireless client to a local area network (LAN). APs continually poll the
network and report information to the controllers. This feature can be used to enhance the security of wireless
communication and to extend the range of a wireless user by connecting to a wireless device through a wired
LAN.
The Dell AP can also function as an air monitor (AM), which scans the RF spectrum, and can be used to enhance
the performance of the AP.
Figure 5 shows the architecture of the AP AM MIB relative to 1.3.6.1.4.1.14823
(iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.aruba). The AP and AM MIBs are listed in the file aruba-ap.my. For
