Description: Manages IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN radio parameters, association tables, and WLAN service configuration.

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 BWA-DOT11-WLAN-MIB?

BWA-DOT11-WLAN-MIB is a vendor MIB for BWA (Broadband Wireless Access) product lines including the BWA VL series, BWA 4900, and BWA-PtP, covering IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN radio configuration and traffic-prioritization features. It exposes configuration objects for MAC-address deny-list actions, VLAN and ToS/IP-precedence/DSCP based prioritization thresholds, and a UDP/TCP port-range table used to prioritize traffic such as RTP/RTCP voice streams over specific port ranges. Its monitoring value lies mainly in wireless QoS and access-control configuration status: administrators can check bwaVLMacAddressDenyListAction to confirm which devices are being blocked, and review the bwaVLUdpPortRangeTable entries to verify voice/video traffic prioritization rules (like bwaVLUdpPortPriRTPRTCP) are correctly applied, which affects call quality and network access control on the wireless link. It builds on the standard IEEE 802.11 (dot11) framework and likely coexists with generic dot11 MIB objects for radio/association state, extending them with BWA's QoS and access-control specifics. It is deployed on BWA-branded point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless bridge/access products used for fixed wireless broadband links. Engineers can download the BWA-DOT11-WLAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BWA-DOT11-WLAN-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

  • BWA VL-series / BWA 4900 / BWA-PtP wireless bridge or access unit

Monitoring Examples

An operator inspects bwaVLUdpPortRangeTable, indexed via bwaVLUdpPortRangeNum, to confirm the configured bwaVLUdpPortRangeStart values align with the VoIP RTP/RTCP port range referenced by bwaVLUdpPortPriRTPRTCP, ensuring voice traffic gets prioritized over the wireless link. Checking bwaVLMacAddressDenyListAction and bwaVLIPDSCPThreshold together helps diagnose why a particular client is being blocked or why certain DSCP-marked traffic isn't receiving expected priority, which could explain call quality complaints on a point-to-point wireless backhaul link.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MAC address deny-list action
  • VLAN/ToS/DSCP priority thresholds
  • UDP/TCP port-range prioritization rules
  • RTP/RTCP port priority setting

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using bwaVLTotalRxFramesViaEthernet OID:

Select a BWA (early Alvarion) VL/4900/PtP wireless bridge or access unit (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 bwaVLTotalRxFramesViaEthernet into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the applicable to all units. Total number of frames received via the Ethernet port. 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.
