Description: Manages network interface configuration and status on Aerohive Networks wireless access points and switches.

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 AH-INTERFACE-MIB?

AH-INTERFACE-MIB is an Aerohive Networks (now Extreme Networks) vendor MIB that manages wireless and wired network interface configuration on Aerohive access points and switches. It exposes interface-level configuration data such as interface name, type, operating mode, SSID name, and promiscuous-mode status, plus a client-association table tracking connected wireless clients by MAC and IP address. Its monitoring value spans both configuration verification and operational status -- confirming an interface/SSID is configured as intended and tracking which and how many wireless clients are currently associated to detect capacity issues or unauthorized devices. It appears to be an Aerohive-proprietary module and does not show explicit dependency on the standard IF-MIB or dot11 MIBs in the available text, though it covers similar conceptual ground. It is deployed on Aerohive wireless access points and switches in enterprise WLAN deployments where centralized visibility into interface configuration and client association is needed. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the AH-INTERFACE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in AH-INTERFACE-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.

Supported Devices

Aerohive Networks wireless access point/switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll ahXIfTable/ahXIfEntry to read ahIfName, ahSSIDName, ahIfType, ahIfMode, and ahIfConfMode, confirming a given AP radio interface is broadcasting the expected SSID in the correct operating mode. ahIfPromiscuous would be checked to confirm whether an interface has inadvertently been left in monitor/promiscuous mode. Polling ahAssociationTable/ahAssociationEntry then reveals ahClientMac and ahClientIP for every currently associated wireless client, letting the admin spot an unexpectedly high client count or an unrecognized client on the SSID.

What Can Be Monitored

interface name and SSID
interface type/mode/configured mode
promiscuous mode status
associated wireless client MAC addresses
associated wireless client IP addresses

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ahClientRxMulticastFrames OID:

Select an Aerohive (Extreme Networks) wireless access points/switch (legacy) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type ahClientRxMulticastFrames into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of multicast frames received from client to AP. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
