Mib Support; Enabling Snmp On The Summit Wm Controller - Extreme Networks Summit WM Maintenance Manual

Summit WM Controller's utilities
SNMP sends messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. Devices on
the network that are SNMP-compliant, called agents, store data about themselves in Management
Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
NOTE
In this current release (V5R3), the SNMP protocol does not support the Altitude 802.11n AP since some of the
Altitude 802.11n AP properties are not accurately reported.

MIB support

The Summit WM software system accepts SNMP Get commands and generates Trap messages. Support
is provided for the retrieval information from the router MIB-II (SNMP_GET) as well as SNMP traps.
The supported MIBs include:
SNMPv2-MIB
●
IF-MIB
●
IEEE802dot11-MIB
●
RFC1213-MIB
●
NOTE
The Summit WM Controller is not fully compliant with MIB II. For example, esa/IXP ports only provide interface
statistics.
The Extreme Networks Enterprise MIB includes:
EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-MIB
●
EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-PRODUCTS-MIB
●
EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-SMI.my
●
EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-DOT11-EXTNS-MIB
●
EXTREME-SUMMIT-WM-BRANCH-OFFICE-MIB
●
The MIB is provided for compilation into an external NMS. No support has been provided for
automatic device discovery by an external NMS.
The Summit WM Controller is the only point of SNMP access for the entire system. In effect, the
Summit WM Controller proxies sets, gets, and alarms from the associated Altitude APs.

Enabling SNMP on the Summit WM Controller

You can enable SNMP on the Summit WM Controller to retrieve statistics and configuration
information.
