Configuration

Connections

SNMP Main Connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port Number: The port of the connected device (default: 161).
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device (default: public).
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device (default: private).

Initialization

No extra configuration is needed.

Redundancy

There is no redundancy defined.

Web Interface

The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.

How to use

General

This page displays information about the system, such as the Description, Up Time, Name, etc.

The General page also has the following subpages:

  • System IP Table: Displays the IP-related settings of the Ruckus Wireless ZD device.
  • System Services: Displays parameters related to NTP, SMTP and Logging.
  • System Settings: Allows you to configure Access Point Servers, IDS, Heart Beat and System Valve.
  • System Statistics: Displays parameters related to CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, LAN Rx/Tx and WLAN Rx/Tx.
  • SNMPv2 Settings: Allows you to configure the SNMPv2 traffic of the device.
  • SNMPv3 Settings: Allows you to configure the SNMPv3 traffic of the device.

Interface

This page displays two tables:

  • Ethernet Table: Table containing all ethernet interfaces.
  • Interface Table: Overview of all available interfaces.

Access Points

This page contains the Access Point Table, which displays an overview of all access points with their current statuses, such as Status, Rx Byte Rate, Tx Byte Rate, CPU Utilization and Total Users.

The Access Points page also has the following subpages:

  • Access Point Config: Displays a table containing all configuration parameters for each access point.
  • AP Radio Table: Displays a table containing all radio statistics per access point.
  • AP WLAN Table: Displays a table listing all access points with information about the receiver and transceiver.
  • AP Interface Table: Displays a table with all interfaces per access point.
  • AP Ethernet Table: Displays a table with all Ethernet interfaces per access point.

Access Point Tree Control

This page contains a tree control that displays a list of parent access points. When you click an access point, parameters related to that specific access point are displayed together with a table containing different tabs. These tabs contain the filtered tables of Child Access Points, the Access Point Config Table, the AP Radio Table, the AP Interface Table and the AP Ethernet Table.

This page makes it easier to navigate to the subtables, because here they only contain entries related to the parent access point.

Wireless LAN

This page contains the WLAN Table, which displays a list of all WLANs with more detailed information such as Authentication, Rx/Tx Byte Rate and Uplink/Downlink Frames.

Clients

This page contains the Clients or Stations Table, which displays a list of all connected stations with more information on the WLAN they are connected to, the Radio Type, Rx/Tx Statistics and Signal Strength.

Rogue Devices

This page contains the Rogues Table, which displays a list of all connected rogues with more information on the WLAN they are connected to, the Radio Type, Encryption and Signal Strength.

Events

This page contains the Event or Trap Table. This table contains a list of all received events with their corresponding values.

To prevent a continuously growing Event Table, a Refresh/Clean Up method is available to remove old or redundant entries based on the Event Table Config parameters. This method runs every 15 minutes, but you can also manually run it earlier by clicking the Refresh/Clean Up Table button.

This page also provides access to two subpages:

  • Event Table Config: Allows you to configure the Event Table Clean Up method. Based on the selected method, events will get removed if they exceed the number of Max Traps or if are older than the Max Age Traps.
  • Trap Config: Allows you to enable or disable device-specific traps. These are the SNMP traps that the device will send if this is enabled.

Notes

For the Event Table to show device events, SNMP traps have to be configured via the web interface of the device.
