What Is ALVARION-802DOT11-MIB?

ALVARION-802DOT11-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Alvarion Ltd. that models IEEE 802.11 wireless entities on Alvarion Wi-Fi/WiMAX access point equipment, organized into access-point attributes (coDot11ap), MAC-layer attributes (coDot11mac), and PHY-layer attributes (coDot11phy). It exposes coDot11AccessPointConfigTable, coDot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable, coDot11WEPDefaultKeysTable, coDot11PrivacyTable, coDot11AssociationTable (per-client station associations), coDot11WDSPortTable, and coDot11ScanTable at the AP layer; coDot11OperationTable and coDot11CountersTable at the MAC layer; and coDot11PhyOperationTable, coDot11PhyAntennaTable, coDot11PhyConfigTable, coDot11PhyDSSSTable/coDot11PhyOFDMTable, and coDot11RSNAStatsTable at the PHY layer. This breadth of association, security, and radio-layer counters is useful for monitoring wireless link health — client association churn, authentication/privacy configuration, and PHY-level error/retry statistics tied to a specific channel and data rate. It depends on the vendor's ALVARION-SMI, ALVARION-TC, and ALVARION-VIRTUAL-AP-MIB modules plus standard IF-MIB interface indexing, and is deployed on Alvarion WiMAX/Wi-Fi radio access equipment; the ALVARION-802DOT11-MIB is useful for SNMP monitoring of these radios in network management tools.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALVARION-802DOT11-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

  • Alvarion WiMAX/Wi-Fi access points and radio equipment

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls coDot11AssociationTable to track the number of associated client stations on an access point and cross-references coDot11CountersTable for retry and FCS error counts; a spike in MAC-layer error counters alongside a drop in association-table entries would indicate RF interference is causing clients to disassociate.

What Can Be Monitored

  • access point configuration and client association table
  • authentication algorithm and WEP/privacy configuration
  • MAC operation and error/retry counters
  • PHY operation, antenna, and channel configuration
  • DSSS/OFDM rate-specific PHY tables
  • RSNA (802.11i) security statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using coDot11WEPICVErrorCount OID:

Select an Alvarion (Cambium) wireless broadband access points/base station (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 coDot11WEPICVErrorCount into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. This counter increments when a received frame's WEP subfield is set but its ICV doesn't match the value calculated for the frame's contents. 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.
