Description: Manages inter-controller wireless client mobility groups and roaming anchor configurations on Cisco WLCs.

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-MOBILITY-MIB?

CISCO-LWAPP-MOBILITY-MIB is a Cisco enterprise MIB implemented on Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) acting as Central Controllers (CC) that terminate the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) tunnel from lightweight access points. It exposes configuration and status data for 802.11 client mobility between controllers, including mobility anchor relationships for WLAN profiles, mobility group and multicast mobility enable states, and keep-alive parameters used between peer controllers. Its monitoring value is chiefly software/service-status oriented: cLMobilityAnchorStatus and cLMobilityAnchorRowStatus reveal whether an anchor mapping for a WLAN profile is active, while cLMobilityMCEnableStatus/cLMobilityMCAdminEnableStatus and cLMobilityMCKeepAliveCount indicate whether the mobility control-plane service between controllers is enabled and healthy. It is specific to Cisco's LWAPP/CAPWAP wireless architecture and depends on the broader Cisco wireless controller MIB family for AP and WLAN context. It is deployed in enterprise and campus Wi-Fi networks with multiple Cisco WLCs supporting seamless client roaming across controller boundaries. Engineers can download the CISCO-LWAPP-MOBILITY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-LWAPP-MOBILITY-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 (WLC)
  • Cisco lightweight access point (LWAPP/CAPWAP)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cLMobilityAnchorTable/cLMobilityAnchorEntry, keyed by cLMobilityAnchorWlanProfileName and cLMobilityAnchorSwitchIPAddress, to confirm an anchor controller mapping for a guest WLAN is in the expected cLMobilityAnchorStatus. Checking cLMobilityMCEnableStatus against cLMobilityMCAdminEnableStatus would reveal whether mobility control messaging between controllers has been administratively enabled but failed to actually come up. cLMobilityMCKeepAliveCount can be watched to detect missed keep-alives suggesting a peer controller has become unreachable, which would break seamless roaming for clients moving between its APs and others.

What Can Be Monitored

  • mobility anchor mapping status
  • WLAN profile anchor configuration
  • mobility group enable state
  • multicast mobility enable state
  • controller keep-alive count

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cLMobilityIncomingCount 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 cLMobilityIncomingCount into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object represents the number of successfully incoming inter-WLC roaming count for this WLC. 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.
