Description: Manages AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) configuration for LWAPP-based wireless LAN controllers.

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 CISCO-LWAPP-AAA-MIB?

The CISCO-LWAPP-AAA-MIB is a Cisco private module implemented on Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) acting as Central Controllers that terminate the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) tunnel from Cisco lightweight access points. It manages Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) configuration on the controller, exposing tables for AAA method priority ordering and for configured TACACS+ server entries, including server type, priority, address, port, and enabled state. Its monitoring/management value is software-configuration oriented: administrators use it to verify AAA method precedence (e.g., local vs. RADIUS vs. TACACS+) and to confirm each configured TACACS+ server is correctly addressed, reachable on the right port, and enabled, catching misconfigurations that would otherwise cause authentication failures for admin or client access. It is part of the broader CISCO-LWAPP-* MIB family and depends on the underlying LWAPP tunnel/controller architecture shared with other Cisco lightweight-AP MIBs. It is deployed on Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers (e.g., 2100/4400/5500/WiSM series and successors), where CISCO-LWAPP-AAA-MIB SNMP monitoring supports AAA configuration checks across fleets of lightweight access points in enterprise Wi-Fi networks.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-LWAPP-AAA-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 Controllers (LWAPP-based)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would check claPriorityTable/claPriorityEntry to confirm the claPriorityOrder in which claPriorityAuth methods (such as TACACS+ vs. local) are attempted, and poll claTacacsServerTable/claTacacsServerEntry for claTacacsServerAddress, claTacacsServerPortNum, and claTacacsServerEnabled to verify each AAA server is correctly configured. If claTacacsServerEnabled is set but the server is unreachable, admin logins to the WLC could silently fail over to a lower-priority method, which this table helps diagnose. ciscoLwappAAAMIBNotifs would alert on AAA-related configuration or state-change events.

What Can Be Monitored

  • AAA method priority order
  • TACACS+ server configuration (address, port, priority)
  • TACACS+ server enabled state
  • AAA notification events

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using claRadiusAuthClientAccessRequestsTotal OID:

Select a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (LWAPP-based) 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 claRadiusAuthClientAccessRequestsTotal into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object indicates the number of RADIUS Access-Request packets sent by the controller. 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.
