Description: Defines shared textual conventions and reference OIDs used by H3C 802.11 WLAN MIB modules.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is A3COM-HUAWEI-DOT11-REF-MIB?

This MIB module is a shared reference/textual-convention module for the H3C (3Com/Huawei) family of IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN management MIBs, defining the root OID node and common data types reused across the vendor's WLAN MIB series. Despite being framed as a reference module, it also carries concrete access-point and radio inventory tables that expose hardware identity and grouping data for wireless infrastructure. It is used to monitor the hardware inventory and configuration state of wireless access points and their radios, including AP model/serial identity, template assignment, and per-radio numbering and policy, effectively surfacing whether an AP's radios are correctly provisioned. As a reference module it depends directly on the IEEE 802.11 standard family (802.11a/b/g) and is meant to be imported by other H3C/3Com 802.11 MIB modules rather than used standalone. It is typically deployed on H3C or 3Com-branded enterprise wireless controllers and access points where multiple 802.11 MIB modules share this common base. Because this module is not always bundled with mainline H3C firmware releases, administrators sometimes need a separate A3COM-HUAWEI-DOT11-REF-MIB download from vendor support channels to get the AP and radio element tables matching their controller software version.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-DOT11-REF-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

H3C WA7539 (2024) — Wi-Fi 7 triple-radio enterprise access point, current WLAN line from the H3C successor to the old 3Com-Huawei JV

Monitoring Examples

An administrator can walk h3cDot11APElementTable to enumerate every managed access point by h3cDot11APElementIndex and read h3cDot11APElementSerialID, h3cDot11APElementModelAlias, and h3cDot11APElementTemplateName to confirm each AP's identity and configuration template assignment. Polling h3cDot11RadioElementTable/h3cDot11RadioElementEntry reveals h3cDot11RadioElementRadioNum and h3cDot11RadioElementRadioPolicy per AP, letting an operator detect an AP reporting fewer radios than expected or a radio stuck in the wrong policy mode. A mismatch between the expected template name and the value in h3cDot11APElementTemplateName would flag a mis-provisioned access point.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
h3cDot11	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.75			This MIB defines the root node and TC for 802.11 features. By this way, the MIB series for 802.11 will be easily maintained. GLOSSARY IEEE 802.11 Standard to encourage interoperability among wireless networking equipment. IEEE 802.11a This is a high speed physical layer extension to the 802.11 standard on the 5 GHz band. IEEE 802.11b High-rate wireless LAN standard for wireless data transfer at up to 11 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g Higher Speed Physical Layer (PHY) Extension to IEEE 802.11b, will boost wireless LAN speed to 54 Mbps by using OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). The IEEE 802.11g specification is backward compatible with the widely deployed IEEE 802.11b standard. When configure radio with as bg mode, it means that radio will be compatible to 802.11b and 802.11g. When configure radio with as g mode, it means that radio will be only compatible to 802.11g. IEEE 802.11i As 802.11 has lot of deficiency in wireless security domain, especially for enterprise custom, IEEE defined a new standard 802.11i to extend security feature of 802.11 standard. AKM The authentication and key management method defined by 802.11i, and which includes 802.1x and pre-shared key.
