Setting Up SNMP

Version 1.0

7.1.1. AirPair Enterprise Management Information Base

A Management Information Base (MIB) contains information about a network device that

is managed by SNMP. AirPair supports industry standards MIB I and MIB II. In addition,

DragonWave provides an enterprise MIB for AirPair. For a list of objects and their

definitions refer to the AirPair MIB definition file on the DragonWave Toolkit CD-ROM.

You must load the AirPair MIB onto your own MIB browser or Network Management

Station (NMS). HP OpenView is an example of network management software to be

used on the NMS. The AirPair Enterprise MIB is provided in a standard MIB format that

allows a more direct method of loading the definitions onto the NMS. On some NMS

systems, it is as straight-forward as placing the AirPair MIB into the proper NMS

directory and then enabling it by adding it to the MIB list. Please consult the instructions

provided with your NMS for details on loading the Enterprise MIBs.

7.1.2. Traps

A trap is a message that reports a problem or a significant event. Traps are defined in

AirPair MIB definition file. For a complete list of traps, refer to the MIB definition file on

the AirPair Toolkit CD-ROM.
