Trango Broadband M2400S Objects for Monitoring and Control, Snmp Setup, SU Bandwidth Monitoring

Management

2.Tftp the file to the AP from your DOS prompt (example: tftp <IP of AP> put mySUs.txt).

3.From the AP telnet session run command sudb dload to load and activate the database.

4.Run command sudb view to verify the database entries.

5.Run the command save sudb to write the database to non-volatile memory.

SNMP

The M2400S supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for network management. Network management consists of the following 4 categories: configuration, accounting, alarm, and monitoring and control. These capabilities allow the network operator to provide superior services through higher network availability and an integrated accounting system. For more information on SNMP and its uses you can visit http://www.faqs.org/faqs/snmp-faq/.

The Trango SNMP solution supports MIB-II (system only) and the Trango proprietary Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP agent resides on the AP ONLY. It gathers health, status and performance statistics from all SUs locally. The agent then responds back to the SNMP manager upon request.

Users interested in using the SNMP functionality should review the entire M2400S MIB for a complete understanding of its features. The M2400S MIB is available for download at:

The following is an overview of a few of the more commonly used SNMP objects in the M2400S system.

Objects for Monitoring and Control

SU Bandwidth Monitoring

•suRFInOctets – Number of octets of payload transmitted from AP’s RF port.

•suRFOutOctets – Number of octets of payload received on AP’s RF port.

AP Bandwidth Monitoring

•aptrafficEthInOctets – Number of octets of payload received on the Ethernet port.

•aptrafficEthOutOctets – Number of octets of payload transmitted from the Ethernet port.

•aptrafficRFInOctets – Number of octets of payload received on the RF port.

•aptrafficRFOutOctets – Number of octets of payload transmitted from the RF port.

Link Status Monitoring –Various traps are defined as follows:

•SU Link Up – When SU associates to the AP

•SU Link Down – When SU disassociates from the AP

AP and SU Control – SNMP also provides several control capabilities. The majority of the features available on the CLI are also available in SNMP. Here are a few of these features:

•Add/delete subscriber

•Change channel

•Set power

•Set radio sensitivity

Review the Trango M2400S MIB for the complete listing of MIB Objects.

SNMP Setup

Trango Broadband provides only the MIB portion of the SNMP Management system. and it is up the user to provide an SNMP Manager software from a third party vendor. process for SNMPc from Castle Rock™.

1.Unzip trangopkg.zip file to a local temporary directory.

2.Go to your local temporary directory. You will find 4 files as shown below. a. trango_m2400sap_1p0.mib – M2400S AP MIB file

The radios act as individual agents, Below is an example of the setup
