ExpWave 240B Secure Outdoor Ethernet Radio Link
IP Policy Routing
IP Policy Routing provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter packet forwarding
based on the policies defined by the network administrator.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your ExpWave supports SNMP
agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ExpWave through the network.
The ExpWave supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1).
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual client computers to obtain the TCP/IP
configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The ExpWave has built-in DHCP server capability,
enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to all
systems that support the DHCP client.

Full Network Management

Most functions of the ExpWave are also software configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal)
interface. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a terminal emulator through the
console port or over a telnet connection.
