HIPATH-WIRELESS-HIGUARD-MIB

Description: Siemens HiPath Wireless HiGuard MIB for WLAN intrusion detection managing rogue device monitoring and security policy.

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.

HIPATH-WIRELESS-HIGUARD-MIB is a Siemens Enterprise Networks (HiPath Wireless) proprietary MIB, registered under hiPathWirelessHWM, that exists to parse events forwarded by a HiGuard wireless intrusion-detection server (branded SpectraGuard Enterprise) into SNMP notifications. It defines four small objects that make up the varbind list of its single notification: eventSeverityLevel (high/medium/low), senderComponentId and senderIPaddress identifying which HiGuard sensor/component raised the event, and eventSummaryDescription carrying a free-text summary of the event. All four are bundled into the single hiGuardEvent NOTIFICATION-TYPE, described in the MIB itself as a "SpectraGuard Enterprise Event." Because the module has no configuration or counter objects, its entire monitoring value is as a bridge that lets a standard SNMP trap receiver ingest WLAN rogue-device and intrusion-detection alerts from the HiGuard/SpectraGuard system without needing a dedicated console. It depends on the parent HIPATH-WIRELESS-SMI for its enterprise registration point. It is deployed alongside HiPath Wireless controllers and HiGuard sensors in enterprise WLAN deployments, where HIPATH-WIRELESS-HIGUARD-MIB SNMP monitoring lets security teams route rogue-AP and wireless-attack alerts into their existing SNMP-based alerting pipeline.

An operator's trap receiver captures a hiGuardEvent notification and inspects eventSeverityLevel and eventSummaryDescription alongside senderComponentId; a stream of high-severity events from the same senderComponentId in a short window would indicate an active rogue access point or wireless attack being detected by that HiGuard sensor.
