Autonomous APs: 5131, 5181, 7131
Support for legacy Motorola/Symbol devices is described at the end of the document.
Wired Ethernet Switches
Any standalone Ethernet access switch that supports the standard SNMP MIB-II objects for wired switches can
be monitored by AirWave.
AirWave will collect the uptime and name/location/contact information for switches (or any device that supports
SNMP). For port information, AirWave relies on the IF-MIB to collect byte counts.
MAC addresses are collected from the BRIDGE MIB and RFC1213 MIB (ARP table) in order to determine AP
port assignments and identify possible rogue devices on the network.
Some switches have additional support in AirWave:
Cisco
Automated discovery through SNMP
Model & software version identification
CDP neighbor information and extended port error stats
3750 stack information
Juniper
Automated discovery through SNMP
Model & software version identification
Rogue AP detection is supported using the Q-BRIDGE MIB
NOTE: Motorola 5.x software is not supported by AirWave.
