1-10 Introducing RoamAbout Access Point
Other Management Tools
The AP supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) through any
standard Network Management Station (NMS) that supports SNMP. The SNMP
management capability enables you to manage standard SNMP MIB characteristics,
such as protocol filtering and address filtering.
To manage the AP with an NMS system, you must configure the AP with a valid IP
address, as described in “Configuring the AP for SNMP Management” on page 4-16.
The management systems use MIB objects to manage the AP. The AP supports the
following MIB objects:
• MIB II (RFC–1213)
• IETF Bridge MIB (RFC–1493)
• Ethernet MIB (RFC–1398)
• DEC ELAN Vendor MIB
• HUB PCOM MIB
• RoamAbout Access Point MIB
• RMON MIB (RFC-1757)
• 802.11 MIB
For details on the management features of each MIB, consult your NMS
documentation.
The Cabletron clearVISN system also supports the AP.
NOTE
The AP Manager and console port do not support RMON. To set RMON
parameters and the multicast limiting rate value, you need an NMS system or
clearVISN.
