Description: Manages Cisco wireless mesh network backhaul links, RAP/MAP roles, and mesh topology on LWAPP 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-MESH-MIB?

CISCO-LWAPP-MESH-MIB manages Cisco wireless mesh networking on LWAPP-based controllers, covering the parent-child relationships between Root Access Points (RAPs) and Mesh Access Points (MAPs) that form a wireless backhaul mesh topology. It belongs to the Cisco enterprise wireless (outdoor/mesh Wi-Fi) technology area, exposing per-node configuration such as mesh role, group name, backhaul link type and data rate, and Ethernet bridging state. Notably for hardware/software status monitoring, it exposes clMeshNodeEthernetLinkStatus for link health, clMeshNodeInternalTemp for the mesh radio's internal temperature, and clMeshNodeHeaterStatus for cold-weather heater operation—all important environmental/hardware health indicators for outdoor-mounted mesh nodes. It also tracks each node's parent MAC address, letting operators trace and validate the mesh's tree topology and backhaul path health. This MIB depends on the underlying LWAPP/CAPWAP controller-AP framework and is deployed in outdoor and campus wireless mesh deployments such as public safety and municipal Wi-Fi networks using Cisco 1500-series mesh access points. Engineers can download the CISCO-LWAPP-MESH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-LWAPP-MESH-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 wireless mesh access point (e.g., Aironet 1500 series)
  • Cisco wireless LAN controller

Monitoring Examples

An operator queries clMeshNodeTable/clMeshNodeEntry for clMeshNodeParentMacAddress and clMeshNodeBackhaulDataRate to verify a MAP has associated with its expected RAP parent at an acceptable backhaul rate. A rising clMeshNodeInternalTemp combined with clMeshNodeHeaterStatus toggling on indicates the outdoor AP is compensating for cold weather, while a lost clMeshNodeEthernetLinkStatus on a public-safety backhaul node signals a wired uplink failure needing dispatch.

What Can Be Monitored

  • mesh node role (RAP/MAP)
  • parent AP MAC address / mesh topology
  • backhaul link type and data rate
  • Ethernet bridge link status
  • internal temperature
  • heater status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using clMeshNodeHops OID:

Select a Cisco wireless access point or controller 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 clMeshNodeHops 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 number of hops a MAP mesh node is from RAP. 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 Gauge32-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 (in hops), 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.
