Description: Enterasys Networks extension to the IEEE 802.11 MIB adding WEP key management and wireless link test functionality.

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 ENTERASYS-IEEE802DOT11EXT-MIB?

This Enterasys Networks proprietary MIB extends the standard IEEE802dot11-MIB with read-write configuration objects for wireless access points/controllers that the base 802.11 standard MIB does not provide. It covers general wireless system settings, physical/building location tagging, link-test diagnostics, and WEP key management (both legacy default keys and an 'enhanced' key table). Beyond configuration, it supports monitoring hardware/software status through its link-test table, used to actively probe RF link quality between an AP and a client, and through general status objects reflecting the operational state of the wireless subsystem. It explicitly depends on the standard IEEE802dot11-MIB, since its objects supplement rather than replace that standard schema. It is deployed on Enterasys (now Extreme Networks) wireless access points and switches managing WEP/WLAN security and RF diagnostics in enterprise wireless networks. Engineers can download the ENTERASYS-IEEE802DOT11EXT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ENTERASYS-IEEE802DOT11EXT-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.

Monitoring Examples

A network engineer would write to etsysDot11ExtLinkTestTable/etsysDot11ExtLinkTestEntry to initiate an RF link test between an AP and a specific station, then poll the resulting entry to detect a degraded wireless link before users report dropped connections. The etsysDot11ExtWEPDefaultKeysTable and etsysDot11ExtWEPEnhancedTable expose which WEP keys are configured, letting an admin audit that stale or weak WEP keys have been rotated. The etsysDot11ExtBldgTable associates radios with physical building/location tags for site-level fault correlation.

What Can Be Monitored

RF link test results
WEP default key configuration
WEP enhanced key configuration
building/location association
general wireless system configuration status

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
etsysDot11ExtMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9			This mib module defines a portion of the SNMP enterprise MIBs under Enterasys Networks enterprise OID as an extension to the IEEE802Dot11 MIB. This Enterasys Networks Proprietary MIB was designed to be used for read-write access to configuration objects not provided by IEEE802.11 MIB, or any other standard MIB.
etsysDot11ExtObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1
etsysDot11ExtLinkTest	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.1
etsysDot11ExtLinkTestTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.1.1		not-accessible	This table contains objects to test the link between a requester (entity which sends out the management request message) and a responder (entity which responds with the appropriate management response message). An entity could be either an Access Point(AP) or a station (STA).
etsysDot11ExtLinkTestEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.1.1.1		not-accessible	An Entry (conceptual row) in the LinkTest Table. By means of message transmission between requester and responder, the communication quality between the two stations can be determined. The requester and responder can be any combination of AP and STA except STA to STA in an Infrastructure Network (network which has at least one AP present.
MAC etsysDot11ExtLTRemoteStationMAC	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.1.1.1.1	MacAddress	read-write	The MAC address for the remote station to participate in the Link Test. To initiate a search for a participating station, write the broadcast address (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF) to this variable.
STR etsysDot11ExtLTRemoteStationName	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.1.1.1.2	SnmpAdminString	read-only	The wireless station name of the remote station participating in the Link Test.
INT etsysDot11ExtLTTrigger	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.1.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	Writing a 1 to this variable causes a single Link Test request message to be sent to the remote station.
OCT etsysDot11ExtLTRemoteContents	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.1.1.1.4	OCTET STRING	read-only	The exact byte-by-byte contents of the Link Test packet returned by the remote station.
etsysDot11ExtGeneral	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2
etsysDot11ExtGeneralTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1		not-accessible	This table contains all the objects that must be configured on every radio card installed in the Access Point regardless of the operating mode in use.
etsysDot11ExtGeneralEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1		not-accessible	An Entry (conceptual row) in the Dot11General Table. This allows for multiple instances of radio cards in the Access Point.
INT etsysDot11ExtPCCardType	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The type of PC card inserted in the Access Point.
STR etsysDot11ExtPCCardVersions	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.2	SnmpAdminString	read-only	Specifies the version identifiers for the PC card. This will indicate both the Hardware and the Firmware versions.
INT etsysDot11ExtBridgeMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	CURRENT Access Point bridge mode state. In workgroup mode all communications between clients passes through the Access Point. LAN-to-LAN mode is the improved name for 802.11. LAN-to-LAN used to be called full-bridge pre-802.11. This mode is a method of connecting two wired LAN's via a wireless link, also referred to as Point-to-Point mode. LAN-to-LAN-HUB mode allows the interconnection of multiple (ie. more than two) wired LAN's via wireless links, also referred to as Point-to-MultiPoint mode. When operating in multimode the Access Point can simultaneously operate in both workgroup mode and either Point-to-Point or Point-to-MultiPoint modes. This object must be saved across a system reset and/or a power cycle.
INT etsysDot11ExtResetOptions	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.4	INTEGER	read-write	noReset (0) No reset is performed. A 'get' on this object always returns this value. resetRadioCardIfNecessary (1) Some parameters can only be given to the card at initialization time, and if any of these are changed, a card reset will be necessary for them to go into place. The card will be reset at this time if any of those parameters have indeed been changed. resetRadioCardRegardless (2) Forces the radio card to reset, even if no radio card parameters have been changed.
INT etsysDot11ExtSystemScale	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the CURRENT Access Point density in the Extended Service Set (ESS). This object must be saved across a system reset and/or a power cycle.

When this mode is set to disabled, a station with the network name of ANY is allowed to associate. This object must be saved across a system reset and/or a power cycle.
INT etsysDot11ExtMulticastTxRate	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.7	INTEGER	read-write	This value specifies the Multicast data transmission rate of the AP. It is implemented when cards that operate faster than the 2Mbit 802.11 standard are inserted. This object must be saved across a system reset and/or a power cycle.
ENA etsysDot11ExtIntraBSSRelay	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.8	EnabledStatus	read-write	When this mode is enabled the AP entity within the PC Card will relay frames to destined for stations associated with it and will NOT forward them to the bridging entity within the AP. When this mode is set to disabled, the AP entity within the PC Card will not relay frames from wireless client(s) to station(s) associated with it, instead forwards frames to the bridging entity within the AP. This object must be saved across a system reset and/or a power cycle.
STR etsysDot11ExtStationName	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.9	SnmpAdminString	read-write	DURABLE: The wireless station name sent out as part of the beacon messages. Valid only when a DS card is inserted in the Access Point.

OCT etsysDot11ExtBldgMPActivationKey	1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.3.1.1.7	OCTET STRING	read-write	Point-to-multipoint bridge mode requires an activation key to enable. A valid multipoint activation key must be entered as a string of ACSCII characters translating to the binary HEX value of the key before the Access Point will accept the point-to-multipoint bridge mode setting. Returns SNMP_BAD_VALUE if validation fails. This object must be saved across a system reset and/or a power cycle.
