C: SNMP: Simple Network Management
Protocol
Management Information Base (MIB)
ALEOS includes a Management Information Base (MIB) that contains information
specific to the AirLink gateway. Reports based on this database are sent in a form
designed to be parsed by the NMS. The data is hierarchical with entries addressed
through object identifiers.
The MIB complies with:
•
RFC 1213 and MIB-II
•
RFC 2665 — Ethernet-Like Interface Types
•
RFC 2863 — The Interfaces Group MIB
SNMP Traps
SNMP traps are alerts that can be sent from the managed device to the Network
Management System when an event happens. Your AirLink gateway is capable of
sending traps when the network connection becomes available.
To send SNMP traps:
1. In ACEmanager, go to Services > Management (SNMP).
2. Configure the fields under Trap Server User. (For more information, see
Management (SNMP)
3. Go to Events Reporting > Actions.
4. In the Action Type field select SNMP trap. (For more information, see
TRAP
on page 253.)
5. Go Events Reporting > Events and configure monitoring for the event type that
will trigger the SNMP trap. For example, the event type could be RSSI,
thresholds, network state, hardware temperature, etc.
