Description: HP Networking ICF SNMP MIB for extended 802.11 wireless configuration including advanced radio and security settings on HP WLAN devices.

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 HPN-ICF-DOT11-CFGEXT-MIB?

HPN-ICF-DOT11-CFGEXT-MIB is an HP Networking (ICF/Comware-based) enterprise MIB extending the base HPN-ICF-DOT11-CFG-MIB with advanced 802.11 wireless configuration, specifically load-balancing controls across radios and access points. It exposes configuration objects that enable/disable traffic- and session-based load balancing, define traffic and session thresholds, and group radios for balancing purposes via a radio-group table. Its monitoring value is primarily configuration status rather than raw traffic counters: administrators use it to confirm load-balancing features are enabled as intended and to check configured thresholds (in Kbps or session count) against actual usage patterns, helping explain uneven client distribution across access points or radios. It explicitly builds on the companion HPN-ICF-DOT11-CFG-MIB, which defines the base WLAN configuration this module extends. It is deployed on HP Networking (Comware-based) wireless access points and controllers in enterprise WLAN deployments. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HPN-ICF-DOT11-CFGEXT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-DOT11-CFGEXT-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

An administrator would check hpnicfDot11LoadBalanceTrafficEnable and hpnicfDot11LoadBalanceSessionEnable to confirm which load-balancing modes are active, then compare hpnicfDot11LBTrafficThresKbps and hpnicfDot11LBRadioGroupTable/hpnicfDot11LBRadioGroupEntry membership against observed traffic to see whether a radio group is being properly balanced. If clients report poor performance on one AP, hpnicfDot11LoadBalanceTrafficThres and hpnicfDot11LoadBalanceSessionThres would be reviewed to confirm the thresholds are appropriately tuned for the deployment's client density.

What Can Be Monitored

traffic-based load balancing enable state
session-based load balancing enable state
traffic/session load-balance thresholds
radio group membership for load balancing

hpnicfDot11CFGEXT	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.75.6			This MIB provides information for WLAN configuration extended. The HPN-ICF-DOT11-CFG-MIB define MIB objects for WLAN basic configuration, while this MIB will define MIB objects for load balance these kinds feature. GLOSSARY IEEE 802.11 Standard to encourage interoperability among wireless networking equipment. Access point (AP) Transmitter/receiver (transceiver) device that commonly connects and transports data between a wireless network and a wired network. Access control (AC) To control and manage multi-APs, it will bridge wireless and wired network. Fat AP Applied in the home, SOHO and so on, and it could work independently without help from AC. Fit AP Applied in the enterprise environment, it will work under the control and management from AC. Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol The short name of protocol is CAPWAP. AC will control and manage AP by CAPWAP tunnel protocol defined by IETF. Also, a data tunnel will be set up between AC and AP. BSS IEEE 802.11 Basic Service Set (Radio Cell). The BSS of an AP comprises of the stations directly associating with the AP. Radio The chip set to receive and send wireless signal. Association The service used to establish access point or station mapping and enable station invocation of the distribution system services. (Wireless clients attempt to connect to access points.) Basic Rate A data rate that is mandatory for client devices to support in order for them to achieve successful association. MSDU MAC Service Data Unit, it is frame format defined by 802.11. TU It is 1,024 microseconds (ms), which is about 1 millisecond. AKM The authentication and key management method defined by 802.11i, and which includes 802.1x and pre-shared key.
