COLUBRIS-SATELLITE-MANAGEMENT-MIB

Description: Manages satellite-connected remote AP configuration and uplink status on Colubris/HP platforms.

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.

COLUBRIS-SATELLITE-MANAGEMENT-MIB manages satellite (remote/dependent) access point configuration and their uplink relationship to a master AP or controller on Colubris (later HP) wireless deployments, a mesh-like architecture where satellite APs extend coverage under a master's control. It exposes per-satellite configuration and identity data — device ID, MAC/IP address, SSID, channel number — plus behavioral settings like whether the satellite forwards wireless-to-wireless traffic or restricts traffic to master-only paths. Its monitoring value is software/connectivity status: the satelliteTable lets an administrator confirm each satellite is present with the expected satelliteIpAddress and satelliteChannelNumber, and satelliteMasterTrafficOnly/satelliteForwardWirelessToWireless reveal whether traffic forwarding policy matches the intended mesh topology. It depends conceptually on the master AP's own management interface (satelliteSNMPPort implies SNMP-based communication back to the master) rather than an external standard. It is typically deployed in Colubris/HP wireless mesh setups extending coverage from a master AP to remote satellite units, such as in hospitality or campus environments, where COLUBRIS-SATELLITE-MANAGEMENT-MIB SNMP monitoring helps confirm satellite APs stay properly linked to their master controller.

An administrator would enumerate satelliteTable/Entry by satelliteIndex, checking satelliteDeviceId, satelliteMacAddress, and satelliteIpAddress to confirm each satellite AP is present and reachable. If a satellite's satelliteChannelNumber or satelliteSSID doesn't match the master's expected configuration, clients roaming between master and satellite could experience connectivity drops. Checking satelliteMasterTrafficOnly reveals whether a satellite is restricted to backhaul-only traffic to the master versus allowed to forward wireless-to-wireless client traffic directly, which affects local traffic latency and load on the master.

Colubris Satellite Management MIB manages satellite-based network access points and remote wireless infrastructure for Colubris networks.
