Description: Monitors battery charge and health status for Cisco LWAPP outdoor mesh access points.

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-MESH-BATTERY-MIB?

CISCO-LWAPP-MESH-BATTERY-MIB is a Cisco MIB implemented on wireless LAN controllers that terminate the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) tunnel from outdoor mesh access points, and it reports on the Multipurpose Power Supply (MPS) battery backup units used to keep mesh access points running during power interruptions. It exposes hardware status data for each AP's battery backup unit: model name, charging state and level, remaining capacity, input/output voltage and power, serial number, and firmware/software version. This is a clear hardware-monitoring MIB focused on power backup health: an administrator uses it to confirm a mesh AP's battery is present, charging normally, and has adequate remaining capacity, which is essential for outdoor mesh deployments that rely on battery backup during outages. It depends on the broader Cisco LWAPP/mesh MIB family and the underlying LWAPP tunnel relationship between controller and access point for its data to be populated. It is typically deployed in outdoor wireless mesh networks (municipal, campus, or industrial) using Cisco lightweight access points with MPS battery backup units, managed via a wireless LAN controller. Engineers can download the CISCO-LWAPP-MESH-BATTERY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-LWAPP-MESH-BATTERY-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 outdoor mesh access point
  • Cisco Multipurpose Power Supply (MPS) battery backup unit

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll the clMeshNodeBatteryTable, indexed per access point, to read clMeshNodeBatteryChargingState and clMeshNodeBatteryChargingLevel alongside clMeshNodeBatteryRemainingCapacity to see how much runtime is left if grid power is lost. Checking clMeshNodeBatteryInputVoltage and clMeshNodeBatteryOutputVoltage against expected ranges, along with clMeshNodeBatteryStatus, would reveal a failing or disconnected battery unit before an actual power outage strands the mesh AP. clMeshNodeBatteryModelName and clMeshNodeBatterySwVersion would help confirm the correct battery hardware/firmware is installed across a fleet of outdoor APs.

What Can Be Monitored

  • battery charging state/level
  • remaining battery capacity
  • battery input/output voltage and power
  • battery status
  • battery firmware/software version

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using clMeshNodeBatteryStatus OID:

Select a Cisco outdoor mesh access point / MPS battery backup unit 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 clMeshNodeBatteryStatus 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 object represents the status of the battery. unknown - Battery status is unknown. normal - Battery is operating normally and is in standby mode ready to takeover if input AC power supply fails. overloaded - Battery is overloaded when more current. 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 anything other than 'normal', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
