Description: Provides system-level management objects for Avaya WLAN controller platforms, including version, capacity, and HA status.

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 AVAYA-WLAN-SYSTEM-MIB?

AVAYA-WLAN-SYSTEM-MIB is an Avaya private MIB providing system-level management objects for Avaya WLAN controller platforms, covering overall wireless system enable/disable state, network addressing, and controller role. It exposes configuration objects (whether wireless service is enabled, the system's management address and type, TCP/UDP base port) alongside status objects reporting operational state. For hardware/software status monitoring it is especially useful for tracking the controller's operational status and disable reason, its operational role (e.g., active/standby in an HA pair), and the running WLAN software version. As a system-level MIB it is generally used together with lower-level Avaya WLAN MIBs covering access points, radios, and clients rather than standing alone. It is deployed on Avaya (formerly Nortel) wireless LAN controllers in enterprise Wi-Fi deployments, particularly in high-availability controller pairs. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the AVAYA-WLAN-SYSTEM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in AVAYA-WLAN-SYSTEM-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

Avaya WLAN controller

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll avWlanSystemStatusOperationalStatus together with avWlanSystemStatusOperationalStatusDisableReason to determine whether the WLAN system is up, and if not, why (e.g., a licensing or configuration fault). Checking avWlanSystemStatusOperationalRole reveals whether this controller is currently active or standby in an HA deployment, while avWlanSystemStatusWlanVersion confirms the running software version for a patch/compliance audit. If avWlanSystemConfigWirelessEnabled is set but avWlanSystemStatusOperationalStatus still shows disabled, that mismatch signals a startup or licensing problem worth investigating.

What Can Be Monitored

wireless system enabled/disabled state
operational status and disable reason
controller operational role (active/standby)
WLAN software version

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using avWlanSystemStatusOperationalStatus OID:

Select an Avaya WLAN 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 avWlanSystemStatusOperationalStatus into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. Indicates the current operating status of the wireless system. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is 'disabled', or it stays in 'enablePending'/'disablePending' longer than a normal transition takes. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

avWlanSystemConfig	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.1
avWlanSystemConfigScalars	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.1.1
T/F avWlanSystemConfigWirelessEnabled	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.1.1.1	TruthValue	read-write	This is used to enable wireless feature (control and data together in first release). System Interface and TcpUdpBasePort will be taken as parameters to this action. Disable will purge all status and statistics related to wireless functionality. A value of true(1) means enabled.
IPt avWlanSystemConfigSystemInetAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.1.1.2	InetAddressType	read-write	This object indicates the type of address contained in the object avWlanSystemConfigSystemInetAddress.
IP avWlanSystemConfigSystemInetAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.1.1.3	InetAddress	read-write	This address is the one to be used by the WC and/or MS for connecting to APs and Peer WCs and/or MS. All tunnels are also terminated on this address. Captive Portal Web Server is also hosted on this address. Wireless feature should be disabled and enabled for changing this value. There is no default value and this configuration is mandatory to enable a WC and/or an MS to participate in a WLAN Domain.
INE avWlanSystemConfigTcpUdpBasePort	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.1.1.4	InetPortNumber	read-write	All WLAN System Protocols (e.g. AP, MS, WC control channel, access and mobility tunnels etc.) use different TCP and UDP port numbers. These ports are based at different fixed offsets from a base port allowing administrator to create simple firewall rules by opening a contiguous ip port range for WLAN communication. Currently a range of 16 ports starting from this base port will be used. The base port must be same on all WCs and/or MS in a domain. This is an optional configuration and all WCs can be left operating at the default value. Changing this configuration will require to disable and enable wireless feature.
avWlanSystemStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.2
avWlanSystemStatusScalars	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.2.1
INT avWlanSystemStatusOperationalStatusEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	Indicates the current operating status of the wireless system.
INT avWlanSystemStatusOperationalStatusDisableReason	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.2.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	This object indicates the reason why the operational status is disabled.
IPt avWlanSystemStatusWlanSystemAddrType	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.2.1.3	InetAddressType	read-only	The type of address contained in avWlanSystemStatusWlanSystemAddr. Currently only unknown(0), ipv4(1), and ipv6(2) are allowed. When the wireless mode is in the disabled state, the value of this object will be unknown(0).
IP avWlanSystemStatusWlanSystemAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.2.1.4	InetAddress	read-only	This object represents the WC/WS WLAN System IP address. When the wireless mode is in disabled state, the value of this object will be empty.
INT avWlanSystemStatusOperationalRole	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.2.1.5	INTEGER	read-only	The current operational role of the WLAN system running on this device. Only applicable when the value of the avWlanSystemStatusOperationalStatus is 'enabled(1)'. The meaning of the values is: wcp(1) - device is running Control plane only wsp(2) - device is running Data plane only wcpAndwsp(3) - device is running both Control and Data planes
STR avWlanSystemStatusWlanVersion	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.7.16.1.2.1.6	DisplayString	read-only	Reflects the current WLAN MIB version implemented by this device. Not to be confused with the software version of the device. Primarily meant to be used by the WLAN management applications.
