4 In the Publish AP as interface of controller drop-down list, select whether to enable or disable
publishing the Wireless AP and their interfaces as interfaces of the Summit WM Controller. By
default this option is enabled.
When this option is enabled, all Wireless APs and their interfaces are published as interfaces of the
Summit WM Controller when you retrieve topology statistics and configuration information using
the SNMP protocol.
Topology statistics and configuration information on Wireless APs are retrievable using both
proprietary and standard MIB. The
Publish AP as interface of controller option only affects
information retrieved through standard MIB, i.e. IF-MIB, RFC1213. All information that is retrieved
through proprietary MIB is not affected. If the
Publish AP as interface of controller option is
disabled, the Wireless APs' interfaces are not considered interfaces of the Summit WM Controller.
For example, if the Publish AP as interface of controller option is disabled, querying the ifTable
would return information on the Summit WM Controller physical interfaces, plus all WM-ADs that
are configured on that controller. If enabled, querying the same table would return the above
information, in addition to information on each Wireless APs’ interfaces.
