What Is COLUBRIS-DEVICE-WDS-MIB?

This Colubris (HP) MIB manages Wireless Distribution System (WDS) configuration, allowing access points to form wireless mesh/backhaul links between each other rather than only serving clients. It exposes configuration and grouping data: WDS group definitions, per-radio WDS settings (acknowledgment distance, QoS), and the maximum number of supported groups. Its monitoring value is largely configuration/status-oriented, confirming which radios are assigned to which WDS groups and whether radio-level WDS parameters such as acknowledgment distance (which affects long-range mesh link timing) are set correctly for the physical link distance. It builds on underlying 802.11 wireless MIB concepts, complementing Colubris's own wireless interface MIB. It's used on Colubris/HP access points deployed as wireless mesh backhaul links, e.g., outdoor or campus mesh networks. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the COLUBRIS-DEVICE-WDS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in COLUBRIS-DEVICE-WDS-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

  • Colubris/HP wireless access point (mesh/WDS mode)

Monitoring Examples

An admin checks coDeviceWDSGroupTable for a coDeviceWDSGroupEntry's coDevWDSGroupName to confirm two APs are configured into the same mesh group, then inspects coDeviceWDSRadioTable's coDevWDSRadioAckDistance to verify it matches the actual physical distance between mesh nodes, since a mismatch here is a classic cause of degraded mesh link throughput. coDevWDSRadioQoS settings would be checked when diagnosing why traffic prioritization isn't behaving as expected across the mesh link.

What Can Be Monitored

  • WDS group membership
  • radio acknowledgment distance setting
  • radio QoS configuration
  • maximum WDS group count

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using coDevWDSLinkStsPktsTxRate1 OID:

Select a Colubris/HP wireless access point (mesh/WDS, legacy) 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 coDevWDSLinkStsPktsTxRate1 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. It reports the number of frames transmitted at 1 Mbps. 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.
