Programmable SNMP v1/v2/v3 Trap Support

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates the exchange of management

information between network devices. SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) to

manage the device configuration and monitor Internet devices in remote locations. MIB information

accessed via SNMP is defined by a set of managed objects called Object Identifiers (OIDs). An OID

is used to uniquely identify each object variable of a MIB.

SNMP allows a network administrator to configure the access point, manage network performance,

find and solve network problems, and plan network growth. The access point Mobility 7131 Access

Point supports SNMP management functions for gathering information from its network

components. The access point’s download site contains the following MIB files supporting the

access point:

• Symbol-CC-WS2000-MIB-2.0 (standard MIB file)

• Symbol-AP_MIB

The Mobility 7131 Access Point access point’s SNMP agent functions as a command responder

and is a multilingual agent responding to SNMPv1, v2c and v3 managers (command generators).

The factory default configuration maintains SNMPv1/2c support of community names, thus

providing backward compatibility.

For detailed information on configuring SNMP traps, see Configuring SNMP Settings on page 4-87.

Power-over-Ethernet Support

When users purchase a Brocade WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure

locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to

the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at

each access point location.

An approved Power Injector solution merges power and Ethernet into one cable, reducing the

burden of installation and allows optimal access point Mobility 7131 Access Point placement in

respect to the intended radio coverage area. The access point can only use a Power-over-Ethernet

device when connected to the access point’s LAN (GE1/POE) port. The access point can also

support 3af/3at compliant products from other vendors.

The Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-1P3-AFR) is a single-port Power over Ethernet hub

combining low-voltage DC with Ethernet data in a single cable connecting to the access point

Mobility 7131 Access Point. The Power Injector’s single DC and Ethernet data cable creates a

modified Ethernet cabling environment on the Mobility 7131 Access Pointaccess point’s LAN port

eliminating the need for separate Ethernet and power cables. For detailed information on using the

Power Injector, see Power Injector System on page 2-35.

MU-MU Transmission Disallow

The access point’s MU-MU Disallow feature prohibits MUs from communicating with each other

even if on the same WLAN, assuming one of the WLAN’s is configured to disallow MU-MU

communication. Therefore, if an MU’s WLAN is configured for MU-MU disallow, it will not be able to

communicate with any other MUs connected to this access point.

For detailed information on configuring an Mobility 7131 Access Point WLAN to disallow MU to MU

communications, see Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-139.
