Integrating AirWave with an Existing Network Management Solution

This is an optional configuration. The AMP Setup > NMS configuration page allows AirWave to integrate with
other Network Management Solution (NMS) consoles. This configuration enables advanced and interoperable
functionality as follows:
 AirWave can forward WLAN-related SNMP traps to the NMS, or AirWave can send SNMPv1 or SNMPv2
traps to the NMS.
 AirWave can be used in conjunction with Hewlett-Packard’s ProCurve Manager.
 The necessary files for either type of NMS interoperability are downloaded from the AMP Setup > NMS page
as follows. For additional information, contact Dell support at support.dell.com.
Perform these steps to configure NMS support in AirWave:
1. Go to AMP Setup > NMS.
2. Select Add to integrate a new NMS server, or select the pencil icon to edit an existing server. Provide the
information described in Table 37:

correlation and additional features resulting in optimized network uptime.
4. The NMS Integration Add/Edit page includes the HP ProCurve Manager Integration link. Select this link
for additional information, zip file download, and brief instructions for installation with AirWave. Select Add
to finish creating the NMS server, or Save to configure an existing NMS server.
