Reports the cumulative number of mobility handoff requests that have been received or initiated by this wireless LAN controller since it was last reset. A high number indicates active client roaming activity across the mobility group.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.8.2.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> AIRESPACE-WIRELESS-MIB::bsnTotalHandoffRequests

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.8.2.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> AIRESPACE-WIRELESS-MIB::bsnTotalHandoffRequests.1

Start monitoring Cisco (Airespace) Wireless LAN Controllers (legacy) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the AIRESPACE-WIRELESS-MIB::bsnTotalHandoffRequests OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco (Airespace) Wireless LAN Controllers (legacy) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco (Airespace) Wireless LAN Controller (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 bsnTotalHandoffRequests into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the total handoff requests. 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.
