RingMaster SNMP Agent AirDefense Server LA-200 SNMP Traps Alarms/ Monitoring Configuration RingMaster Services Managed MXs XML-based APIs RingMaster Client The RingMaster SNMP Agent provides access to allow upstream application programs to perform WLAN management tasks without GUI interaction. An upstream application can retrieve the configuration of MPs in a RingMaster managed network domain. This software can, for example, get information on a set of MPs by serial number or MP type. After an upstream application binds to utilize the RingMaster SNMP Agent, that application can initiate transactions using this interface. The capabilities enabled by RingMaster SNMP Agent include: ❑ Client/session information ❑ Alarms ❑ Monitoring ❑ Security (rogues, neighbor lists, etc.) ❑ Policies ❑ Reports ❑ RF Planning ❑ Software Generics Management Transactions enacted between upstream application(s) and the RingMaster SNMP Agent are often scoped with regards to applicable managed entities. This limits the amount of time an upstream application needs to process resulting information flows. RingMaster SNMP Agent’s interface meets recommendations of standards authorities such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). See the figure above for a high-level view of interfaces. The RingMaster SNMP Agent software’s goal is to provide programmable access to upstream applications so they can accomplish required WLAN management tasks without GUI interaction. There are two interfaces that will be available as described in the next paragraphs. This interface allows use of an XML API to query configuration and monitoring data. It uses REST based web services for easy integration. It uses standard Internet protocols including XML over HTTPS, Web Services API The Web Services API is used to set up the SNMP interface and provide other alarm / inventory details using polling rather than using a trap mechanism. ❑ The Agent version is the REST interface version which is not the same as the RingMaster software version. This is defined for upgrades and future use. ❑ The Web API provides an alarm summary from the RingMaster alarm module (each alarm type, criticality and their counts). The alarm summary can be filtered based on query criteria using the Web API. (For example, client failure alarms with a certain SSID). 88 Managing with RingMaster Copyright © 2011, Juniper Networks, Inc.
Managing with RingMaster ❑ The Web API provides inventory information, such as a list of devices (MXs and APs) and their information in RingMaster (name, model, serial number, build number, system IP, location, contact info, admin state, and operational status). For configuration of this API, refer to the publication RingMaster Web Services API. SNMP Traps SNMP traps provide a standards-based mechanism for encoding and delivery of RingMaster alarms and retrieval of status and configuration information. The RingMaster Agent supports new components including the RM-200 Appliance. The SNMP Trap interface is designed to provide an asynchronous mechanism for encoding and delivering RingMaster alarms and monitoring information. Areas of integration are: ❑ Fault Management — Monitors of enterprise network infrastructure, such as HP OpenView ❑ Security — WLAN intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), example, Enterasys Dragon. Network alarm notifications are made by: ❑ Correlation of SNMP Traps across MXs ❑ Correlation of AirDefense Traps across MXs ❑ Periodic audts by RingMaster Configurable notification filters can be set using the SNMP Manager to filter alarms by: ❑ Alarm Category ❑ Alarm Severity Alarm Notifications Via SNMP Traps The SNMP interface deals primarily with alarm notification. ❑ The RingMaster Agent generates SNMP v1 and v2c traps. ❑ The SNMP interface forwards alarms as SNMP traps, including alarms created and correlated from MX traps, alarms generated from RingMaster itself, and alarms collected from other sources, such as AirDefense traps. ❑ The RingMaster agent sends an SNMP trap when an alarm’s state changes, such as when an alarm is cleared or acknowledged, or when it is updated. ❑ To deal with a burst of cleared or new alarms, the RingMaster Agent buffers traps at a configurable interval sends them during a specified interval. This update interval can be configured via The RingMaster’s Web interface. RingMaster Agent License RingMaster Agent will be a licensed feature. The license SKU is RMTS-AGENT and it works just like the RMTS-PLAN license. It needs a base RMTS license installed first. Product Code SKU Description 02 RMTS Base license enabling support for up to 5 APs and one switch. 07 RMTS-AGENT Enables RingMaster Agent feature WebAPI Interface The Web Services API provides a management interface. It allows third party applications to build interfaces or applications to access or manage devices and alarms. For example, an upstream application can retrieve the configuration of MPs in a RingMaster managed network domain. This can be more than a basic query with respect to information requested — for example, a set of MPs corresponding to certain serial numbers or MP type may be requested.
