Tsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 14
1.4 Management and Monitoring Capabilities
The network administrators can use the following management and monitoring interfaces to configure and manage the
Tsunami QB-8100 unit:
• Web Interface
• Command Line Interface
• SNMP Management
1.4.1 Web Interface
The Web interface (HTTP) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from any computer on the
network. You can access the Web interface over your network, over the Internet, or with an Ethernet cable connected directly
to your computer’s Ethernet port. See Logging in to the Web Interface for more information.
1.4.2 Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based configuration utility that supports a set of keyboard commands and
parameters to configure and manage the QB-8100 devices. You can enter command statements composed of CLI commands
and their associated parameters. You can enter commands from the keyboard for real-time control or from scripts that
automate configuration. See the Tsunami QB-8100 Reference Manual for more information about the Command Line
Interface.
1.4.3 SNMP Management
In addition to the Web interface and the CLI, you also can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage and
configure the QB-8100 devices. Note that this requires an SNMP manager program (sometimes called MIB browser) or a
Network Manager program using SNMP. The devices support several Management Information Base (MIB) files that describe
the parameters that can be viewed and configured using SNMP:
1. PXM-SNMP.mib (Enterprise MIB)
2. RFC-1213.mib (MIB-II)
3. RFC-1215.mib (Trap MIB)
4. RFC-2790.mib (HOST-RESOURCES-MIB)
5. RFC-2571.mib (SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB)
6. RFC-3412.mib (SNMP-MPD-MIB)
7. RFC-3414.mib (SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB)
The PXM MIB files are available on the Proxim Web site. You must compile one or more of these MIB files into your SNMP
program’s database before you manage your device using SNMP. See the documentation that came with your SNMP manager
for instructions about how to compile MIBs.
NOTE: When you update the software in the device, you must also update the MIBs to the same release. Because the
parameters in the MIB may have changed, you will not otherwise have full control over the features in the new
release.
The enterprise MIB (PXM-SNMP.mib) defines the Read and Read/Write objects you can view or configure using SNMP. These
objects correspond to most of the settings and statistics that are available with other management interfaces. See the
enterprise MIB for more information. The MIB can be opened with any text editor, such as Microsoft Word, Notepad, and
WordPad. See SNMP Parameters in the Services: Configuring the Passwords section.
