Description: H3C MIB for monitoring 802.11 wireless station associations, signal strength, data rates, and connection statistics.

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 H3C-DOT11-STATION-MIB?

H3C-DOT11-STATION-MIB is an H3C (Hangzhou Huawei-3Com/HPE Networking) MIB for monitoring 802.11 wireless client (station) associations on H3C wireless infrastructure. It exposes a table of currently associated stations with their MAC and IP addresses, username, negotiated transmit rate set, signal strength, RSSI, channel, power-save mode, and association ID. This is direct software/hardware status monitoring for the radio side of a WLAN: signal strength and RSSI reveal radio-link quality for each client, station uptime shows how long a client has stayed associated, and power-save mode and rate-set data reveal client behavior affecting throughput -- all key to diagnosing poor wireless performance or unexpected disconnects. Its module description references the CAPWAP protocol and access-controller (AC) architecture, indicating it is designed to work within an AC-managed multi-AP wireless deployment rather than standing alone. It is deployed in H3C enterprise WLAN environments using a centralized wireless access controller managing multiple access points, and an H3C-DOT11-STATION-MIB download equips that controller-based monitoring with per-client signal and association data.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-DOT11-STATION-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

H3C wireless access points
H3C wireless access controllers (AC) and managed AP deployments

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll h3cDot11StationAssociateTable/h3cDot11StationAssociateEntry rows -- h3cDot11StationMAC, h3cDot11StationSignalStrength, h3cDot11StationRSSI, h3cDot11StationUpTime, and h3cDot11StationTxRateSet -- to identify a specific client's radio link quality and how long it has been connected. A client showing a low h3cDot11StationRSSI alongside a degraded h3cDot11StationTxRateSet would reveal it is at the edge of AP coverage and experiencing poor throughput, prompting investigation of AP placement or interference.

What Can Be Monitored

per-station signal strength and RSSI
station association uptime
station negotiated transmit rate set
station power-save mode
station MAC/IP/username identification
station channel assignment

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cDot11StationRxFrameCnt OID:

Select an H3C wireless access controller (client station association/signal stats) 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 h3cDot11StationRxFrameCnt 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. Represents the count of frames that are received by AP from station. 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.
