Required Reading To use this documentation effectively, you must be familiar with the information covered by the SPECTRUM documents listed below.
Overview This section introduces the SPECTRUM documentation for the RoamAbout series of wireless devices manufactured by Enterasys. In this section: Device Support Firmware Information [Page 9] SNMPv3 Support [Page 9] Device Support SPECTRUM management module SM-ENT1002 currently provides modeling for Enterasys RoamAbout devices such as the RoamAbout Access Point 2000 [Page 11] as well as RoamAbout R2 Wireless Access Platform devices [Page 18].
Firmware Information This management module was tested against RoamAbout AP firmware V6.00.04, RoamAbout R2 firmware V2.00.16, and IEEE 802.11 compliant devices. SNMPv3 Support SPECTRUM version 6.6 and the RoamAbout R2 device both support SNMPv3. By default, RoamAbout R2 devices are configured to communicate using SNMPv3. This default configuration provides only limited access to MIB II system information via SNMPv1.
Traps, Events, and Alarms This section describes any device-specific events and alarms supported by the RoamAbout Wireless (SMENT1002) management module. Trap Support The following standard traps are supported for the both the RoamAbout AP and the RoamAbout R2. Trap Name OID coldStart 0.0 warmStart 1.0 linkDown 2.0 linkUp 3.0 authenticationFailure 4.0 egpNeighborLoss 5.
RoamAbout AP Support This section describes device-specific MIB views for the RoamAbout AP that are accessible from the Icon Subviews menu of the RoamAboutAP Device icon. Note: See the vendor’s device firmware guide for more details about device MIB support: http://www.enterasys.com/roamabout.
IP Address State Set this button to establish the state of IP Address storage, either volatile or non-volatile. A value of non-volatile causes the current IP address to be stored in NVRAM. Bridge Model Set this button to establish the current Access Point bridge mode state. The possible values are workgroup, lan-to-lan, and lan-to-lan-hub. LANto-LAN mode is the improved version used in 802.11 and which used to be called full-bridge mode.
Remote Station Name A read-only field that displays the wireless station name of the remote station participating in the point-to-point diagnostic test. Remote Signal Level A read-only field that displays the last remote signal level value obtained from the point-to-point diagnostic test. A value of 0 is displayed if the last sample was not valid. Remote Noise Level A read-only field that displays the last remote noise level value obtained from the point-to-point diagnostic test.
Operational Rate A read-only field that displays the set of data rates at which the station may transmit data. System Scale The current Access Point density in the Extended Service Set (ESS). DTIM Period A read-only field that defines the current number of beacon intervals between successive Delivery Traffic Indication Messages (DTIMs).
RoamAbout MIB Dot 11 Future View Note: From the Icon Subviews menu for the RoamAboutAP Device icon, select RoamAbout MIB > Dot 11 Future. This view provides the same field names as the RoamAbout MIB Dot 11 Current View [Page 13] but the values relate to future rather than current channel communication frequency. RoamAbout MIB Loader View Note: From the Icon Subviews menu for the RoamAboutAP Device icon, select RoamAbout MIB > RoamAbout Loader.
Crash Upload Use Bootp This button controls where the Access Point gets the information it needs to upload crash dumps. The value true indicates that the Access Point should use the BootP protocol to autoconfigure such parameters as its own IP address, gateway IP, subnet, TFTP server IP address, and directory name. The value false indicates that the Access Point should use locally configured parameters stored in NVRAM.
RoamAbout AP Manager This section describes how to set up SPECTRUM to gain access to the RoamAbout Access Point Manager software manufactured by Enterasys Networks. RoamAbout Access Point Manager provides further configuration and management capabilities for multiple RoamAbout Access Points. You can access this optional product from the Icon Subviews menus (via the Device, Topology, Application, and Off Page Reference icons) of the RoamAboutAP model once you have followed the Setup Instructions below.
RoamAbout R2 Support This section describes the device-specific views accessible from the Icon Subviews menu of the Device icon for models of RoamAbout R2 devices. Note: See the vendor’s device firmware guide for more details about RoamAbout R2 MIB support: http://www.enterasys.com/roamabout.
- userEtherType(1) - Packets whose Ethernet V2 EtherTypes or IEEE 802.3 LLC/SNAP EtherTypes match the user-defined EtherType etsysESwitchEtherType[ etsysESwitchProtocolIndex ]. - ipv4(2) - Internet Protocol version 4 carried in Ethernet V2 frames or IEEE 802.3 frames with LLC/SNAP headers. Also, ARP packets carried in Ethernet V2 frames. - ipxEthernet(3) - IPX carried in Ethernet V2 frames. - ipxRaw(4) - IPX carried in IEEE 802.3 frames with no LLC. - ipxLlc(5) - IPX carried in IEEE 802.
Vlan ID A number identifying a VLAN to which packets that match this row's (port, protocol) filter should be assigned. It applies when Constraint has a value of vlan and this row is valid. Status This field indicates the administrative status of this entry. The following values are possible: • other - This entry is currently in effect, but the conditions under which it will remain so differ from the ones described for the other enumeration values.
Security Information View Note: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Device icon, select Wireless Status > Security. This view provides WEP default keys information in the upper table and the WEP Enhanced Implemented truth value and MAC Authentication Status in the lower table. Double clicking an entry in the MAC Authentication Status column opens an Enable/Disable MAC Authentication Table view for that entry.
RADIUS Authentication Server Table View Note: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Device icon, select Wireless Status > RADIUS. This view provides the Client Server Table as well as the following buttons and fields. Enable This button lets you enable or disable the RADIUS Client. Retry Timeout (s) The number of seconds to wait for a RADIUS Server to respond to a request. This parameter value is maintained across system reboots.
Port Number The UDP port number (0-65535) the client is using to send requests to this server. This parameter value is maintained across system reboots. Secret Shared This object is the secret shared between the RADIUS authentication server and RADIUS client. This parameter value is maintained across system reboots. Secret Entered This indicates the existence of a shared secret. Clear Time This value indicates the date and time since server counters were last cleared.
Hardware Status Views System Information View Note: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Device icon, select Hardware Status > System. This view provides the System Error Log Table and the Rate Limiting Table in addition to the following fields. Note: Powerups, Resets, and Unsolicited Resets are all mutually exclusive. Powerups The number of times this device was powered up. Resets The number of times the device was initialized with a management command.
Information A textual description of the error being logged. Rate Limiting Table This table allows rate limiting of multicast frames received on bridge ports. A typical application of this might be to limit a broadcast storm to the confines of the LAN connected by the bridge. All values in this table must be saved across a system reset and/or a power cycle. Rate Limit Switch By default, rate limiting will be disabled. It can be enabled by setting this to true.
Trigger Writing a 1 to this variable causes a single Link Test request message to be sent to the remote station. Remote Contents The exact byte-by-byte contents of the Link Test packet returned by the remote station. Radio Parameters This table provides configuration information for the 2 radio slots on the R2 access point. Double clicking an entry in this table opens a Radio Parameters view for that entry where you can configure the same values (with the exception of PC Card Type and PC Card Versions).
Reset Options The following three reset options are available: • noReset: No reset is performed. • resetRadioCardIfNecessary: Some parameters can only be given to the card at initialization time, and if any of these are changed, a card reset will be necessary for them to go into place. The card will be reset at this time if any of those parameters have been changed. • resetRadioCardRegardless: Forces the radio card to reset, even if no radio card parameters have been changed.
Remote RTS Threshold Indicates the number of octets in an MPDU, below which an RTS/CTS handshake shall not be performed. The default value is 2347. Medium Density Distribution Whether or not to distribute medium density values to the clients. Load Balancing Whether or not the card will perform load balancing. Microwave Oven Robustness Enables or disables the microwave oven robustness algorithm designed to reduce the effects of microwave oven interference.
