BelAir100 Configuration Interfaces
BelAir100 Configuration Interfaces
The BelAir100 can be accessed and configured using the following configuration
interfaces:
• the command line interface (CLI)
• the SNMP interface
• the Web interface (using either HTTPS or HTTP)
All three interfaces (Web, CLI and SNMP) have the same public IP address. All
three also access the same BelAir100 node database. That means that changes
made with one interface are seen immediately through the other interfaces.
When a BelAir100 is shipped from the factory, only the CLI, the HTTP and the
HTTPS interfaces are enabled. You can use these interfaces to configure the
system’s IP networking parameters and enable other interfaces such as SNMP.
Command Line
Interface
The CLI allows you to configure and display all the parameters of a BelAir100
unit, including:
• system parameters
• system configuration and status
• radio module configuration and status
• user accounts
• BelAir100 traffic statistics
• layer 2 functionality, such as those related to bridging and VLANs
• alarm system configuration and alarms history
For a description of basic CLI commands and tasks see “Command Line
Interface Basics” on page 12.
BelAir100 SNMP
Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a means of
communication between SNMP managers and SNMP agents. The SNMP
manager is typically a part of a network management system (NMS) such as HP
OpenView, while the BelAir100 provides the services of an SNMP agent.
Configuring the BelAir100 SNMP agent means configuring the SNMP
community names and trap destinations to establish a relationship between the
manager and the agent.
