What Is CISCO-DOT11-LBS-MIB?

This MIB supports Cisco's 802.11 Location-Based Services (LBS) feature on Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure, enabling third-party positioning applications to track wireless client locations via access points. It exposes configuration objects for LBS profiles, including the positioning server address/port, tracking method, packet type, multicast tracking, channel matching, and per-interface profile associations. This MIB is primarily configuration/service-status oriented, confirming an LBS profile is correctly provisioned and its row status is active, rather than exposing hardware health metrics; it is a software-service monitoring tool for the location tracking feature itself. It builds on IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standards for its underlying data model. It is deployed in enterprise Wi-Fi environments using Cisco access points/wireless controllers where physical location tracking of clients is required. Engineers can download the CISCO-DOT11-LBS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DOT11-LBS-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

Cisco wireless LAN controller/access point
802.11 Wi-Fi infrastructure with Location-Based Services

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would check cdot11LbsProfileRowStatus to confirm an LBS profile (cdot11LbsProfileName) is active, and verify cdot11LbsServerAddress/cdot11LbsServerUdpPort point to the correct positioning server. Monitoring cdot11LbsTrackMethod and cdot11LbsTrackMulticast reveals whether client tracking is using unicast or multicast packet capture, and cdot11LbsProfInterfaceTable shows which wireless interfaces have the profile applied, useful for confirming location services are enabled on the intended APs.

What Can Be Monitored

LBS profile status
positioning server address/port
tracking method (unicast/multicast)
channel match setting
interface-to-profile association

ciscoDot11LbsMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454			This MIB module supports network management for Location Based Services on IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN devices. Location Based Services allows third party applications and positioning servers to work with Access Points to track positions of wireless clients in the network. GLOSSARY and ACRONYMS AP Access point, a transmitter/receiver device that commonly connects and transports data between a wireless network and a wired network. LBS Location Based Services MAC Medium Access Control. Layer 2 in the network model. PS Positioning Server. An application server provides IEEE 802.11 wireless client location information and services. RSSI Received Signal Strength Indication.
ciscoDot11LbsMIBNotifs	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.0
ciscoDot11LbsMIBObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1
ciscoDot11LbsConfigInfo	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1
cdot11LbsProfileTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1		not-accessible	This table contains the set of attributes for configuration of connection to remote LBS positioning servers and tracking methods supported on the servers. A positioning server may support LBS application at multiple UDP ports. This wireless station serves as a LBS agent to track the wireless client device. It receives multicast wireless packet sending by the client devices on specific multicast addresses and forward the information to the positioning server.
cdot11LbsProfileEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1		not-accessible	Each entry contains parameters to configure a LBS positioning server profile for this wireless station.
STR cdot11LbsProfileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.1	SnmpAdminString	not-accessible	This is the name of LBS profile for configuration of a connection to a LBS positioning server at a specific address and UDP port.
IPt cdot11LbsServerAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.2	InetAddressType	read-create	This is the address type of the cdot11LbsServerAddress.
IP cdot11LbsServerAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.3	InetAddress	read-create	This is the address of the LBS positioning server. The cdot11LbsServerAddressType specifies the type of this address.
INE cdot11LbsServerUdpPort	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.4	InetPortNumber	read-create	This is the UDP port of the LBS positioning server used to receive LBS packets from this wireless station.
CDO cdot11LbsTrackMethod	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.5	Cdot11LbsTrackMethodType	read-create	This specifies the method used to detect the location of the wireless client relative to the position of this wireless station. RSSI method uses the strength of the received signals from the wireless client devices to determine their positions.
CDO cdot11LbsPsPacketType	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.6	Cdot11LbsPsPacketType	read-create	This specifies the type of LBS packets sent to the LBS position server from this wireless station.
MAC cdot11LbsTrackMulticast	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.7	MacAddress	read-create	This is the multicast MAC destination address of the LBS frames sending from the wireless clients to this wireless station.
T/F cdot11LbsMatchChannel	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.8	TruthValue	read-create	This object determines if this wireless station will include LBS frames received in channels other than the sender's channel in the RSSI measurement. If the value is 'true', this station will include only LBS frames matching the sender's channel in the RSSI measurement. If the value is 'false', all received LBS frames will be included in the measurement.
ROW cdot11LbsProfileRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.1.1.9	RowStatus	read-create	This configures a new LBS positioning server for this wireless station and modifies or deletes an existing positioning server configuration. Creation of rows must be done via 'createAndGo' and with the cdot11LbsServerAddress and cdot11LbsServerUdpPort set to the address and UDP of the LBS positioning server. This object will become 'notInService' if the NMS successfully performs a multivarbind set for all required objects including this object while this profile is not attached to any wireless interface or a connection cannot be established to the LBS positioning server. This object will become 'active' when this profile is attached to at least one wireless interface via cdot11LbsProfInterfaceTable and a connection to the LBS positioning server is successfully established. Modification and deletion (via 'destroy') of rows can be done when this object is 'active', or 'notInService'. Deletion of a row will remove the corresponding entries for the same profile from the cdot11LbsProfInterfaceTable.
cdot11LbsProfInterfaceTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.2		not-accessible	This table configures the Location Based Services settings on the IEEE 802.11 radio interfaces of this device. This table has an expansion dependent relationship on the cdot11LbsProfileTable. This table uses the ifIndex of interfaces of ifType ieee80211(71) as the expansion index.
cdot11LbsProfInterfaceEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.2.1		not-accessible	Each entry indicates if the LBS client location tracking by a particular location positioning server profile is enabled on an IEEE 802.11 interface.
ROW cdot11LbsProfInterfaceRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.454.1.1.2.1.1	RowStatus	read-create	This configures and attaches a LBS profile to an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN network interface or remove a configured interface from the profile. Creation of rows must be done via 'createAndGo' and specifying the cdot11LbsProfileName of an existing profile and the ifIndex of an IEEE 802.11 interface. This object will become 'active' when the profile is attached to a network interface and a connection to the LBS positioning server is successfully established. Otherwise, if this object will become 'notInService'. Modification and deletion (via 'destroy') of rows can be done when this object is 'active' or 'notInService'. If all interfaces are removed from an 'active' profile, the profile cdot11LbsProfileRowStatus will become 'notInService'.
