Description: Manages 802.11 wireless probe functions on H3C APs for passive client and device discovery.

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 HH3C-DOT11-PROBE-MIB?

HH3C-DOT11-PROBE-MIB is an H3C (Hangzhou Huawei-3Com/New H3C) enterprise MIB covering the 802.11 wireless probing feature, which uses AP radios as sensors to passively detect and enumerate nearby wireless clients and devices rather than serving normal client traffic. It exposes per-AP-radio probe configuration (enable status per AP name and radio ID) and a discovered-client table capturing MAC address, associated BSSID/SSID, and whether the detected client is dissociating. Its monitoring focus is wireless security/visibility status: administrators use it to confirm probing is enabled on expected AP radios and to review the live population of detected wireless clients, including transient or rogue devices appearing near a sensor. It depends on the underlying H3C wireless AP/controller management framework for AP naming and radio indexing conventions. It is typically deployed in enterprise WLAN environments using H3C access points for wireless intrusion/rogue-device detection alongside normal Wi-Fi service. Engineers can download the HH3C-DOT11-PROBE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-DOT11-PROBE-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 (New H3C/HPE Networking) wireless access point acting as a probe sensor

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll hh3cDot11PROBERadioCfgTable/hh3cDot11PROBERadioCfgEntry, keyed by hh3cDot11PROBERadioCfgApName and hh3cDot11PROBERadioCfgRadioId, to confirm hh3cDot11PROBERadioCfgStatus shows probing enabled on the intended AP radios. The hh3cDot11PROBEClientTable would then be polled to see hh3cDot11PROBEClientMac, hh3cDot11PROBEClientBSSID, and hh3cDot11PROBEClientSSID for devices detected near a sensor, revealing unexpected or rogue wireless clients. hh3cDot11PROBEClientIsDiss and hh3cDot11PROBEClientStatus would show when a previously detected client has left or gone stale.

What Can Be Monitored

  • probe enable status per AP radio
  • detected client MAC address
  • detected client BSSID/SSID
  • client dissociation status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cDot11PROBEClientRSSIMax OID:

Select an H3C wireless access point acting as a probe sensor (rogue-device detection) 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 hh3cDot11PROBEClientRSSIMax 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 maximum RSSI of the detected client. 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
