21.1 Understanding SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) defines a standard for recording,
storing, and sharing information about network devices. SNMP facilitates network
management, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
storing, and sharing information about network devices. SNMP facilitates network
management, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Key components of any SNMP-managed network are managed devices, SNMP
agents, and a management system. The agents store data about their devices in Man-
agement Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP manager when
requested. Managed devices can be network nodes such as access point base sta-
tions, routers, switches, bridges, hubs, servers, or printers.

The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway can function as an SNMP-managed device for
seamless integration into network management systems such as HP OpenView or
Devicescape Wireless Operations Center.

MIBs are a collection of objects or files that exist in a virtual database on a network.
SNMP uses a specific set of commands and queries to obtain information from
the MIB.

The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway supports the following standard SNMP MIBs:
•
Bridge MIB 802.1d (RFC 1493).
•
SNMPv2 MIB (RFC 3418).
•
IEEE Std 802.11 MIB (base).
•
Interfaces Group MIB (RFC 2233).
•
Two proprietary MIBs (Wireless MIB and System MIB) based on the
upcoming IEEE 802.11k MIB. They provide information about the 9160
G2 Wireless Gateway client association list and AP detection table, respec-
tively. The proprietary System MIB provides maintenance functionality
such as system reboot or firmware upgrade.
