Description: Manages Cisco WLAN infrastructure including access point configuration and wireless client tracking.
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-WLAN-MAN-MIB?
CISCO-WLAN-MAN-MIB is a Cisco enterprise MIB that provides configuration and management support for IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN devices such as access points and wireless controllers. It exposes device-level and network-level configuration objects, along with notifications, rather than raw traffic counters, focusing on how the WLAN infrastructure is managed remotely. For monitoring hardware and software status, it is most useful for confirming which management access methods, like HTTP and Telnet administration, are enabled on a device, which is a key indicator of the unit's software configuration posture and remote-manageability. It builds on IEEE 802.11 wireless standards and sits within Cisco's broader enterprise MIB tree alongside other WLAN-related modules. It is typically deployed on Cisco wireless access points and WLAN controllers in enterprise Wi-Fi networks. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-WLAN-MAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-WLAN-MAN-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 access points
- Cisco WLAN controllers
Monitoring Examples
An administrator can poll cwmHttpServerEnabled and cwmTelnetLoginEnabled to confirm whether web and command-line management access are active on a given access point, which matters for both operational access and security hardening. The cwmDeviceConfig and cwmNetworkConfig object groups hold per-device and per-network configuration parameters that can be checked for drift across a WLAN deployment. Traps defined under ciscoWlanManMIBNotifs would alert an NMS if a managed device's configuration state changes unexpectedly.
What Can Be Monitored
- HTTP management server enabled state
- Telnet login enabled state
- device-level configuration
- network-level configuration
- WLAN management notifications/traps
