Description: HP Networking ICF SNMP MIB defining 802.11 wireless textual conventions and reference objects used by other HPN WLAN MIBs.

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-REF-MIB?

HPN-ICF-DOT11-REF-MIB is an HP Networking (ICF—Intelligent Configuration Framework) MIB defining common 802.11 wireless textual conventions and reference objects reused across HP's broader family of WLAN-related MIB modules. It exposes access-point and radio element inventory data—AP identity, template name, serial ID, and model alias—along with per-radio attributes like radio number, policy, and index. Its monitoring relevance is centered on wireless hardware inventory and identity: hpnicfDot11APElementSerialID and hpnicfDot11APElementModelAlias let an operator confirm exactly which physical AP hardware and radio modules are deployed and how they're configured, functioning as a foundation rather than deep runtime statistics. It exists specifically to be referenced by other HPN 802.11-specific MIBs (e.g., radio performance, client association MIBs), so it has a direct structural dependency on those sibling modules and on the IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards it documents. It is deployed in enterprise wireless LAN environments built on HP Networking (H3C-derived) access points and wireless controllers. An HPN-ICF-DOT11-REF-MIB reference appearing in a sibling wireless MIB's imports clause simply indicates that module borrows these AP/radio identity conventions rather than duplicating them.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-DOT11-REF-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 poll hpnicfDot11APElementTable/hpnicfDot11APElementEntry, indexed by hpnicfDot11APElementIndex, to confirm the hpnicfDot11APElementSerialID and hpnicfDot11APElementModelAlias of each deployed access point match inventory records. The hpnicfDot11RadioElementTable/hpnicfDot11RadioElementEntry rows would be checked for hpnicfDot11RadioElementRadioPolicy and hpnicfDot11RadioElementRadioNum to verify each AP's radios are configured with the expected policy (e.g., 802.11a vs. 802.11g). Because this is a reference/textual-convention MIB, actual runtime performance counters (signal strength, client counts) would be found in other HPN dot11 MIBs that build on these definitions.

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
hpnicfDot11	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.75			This MIB defines the root node and TC for 802.11 features. By this way, the MIB series for 802.11 will be easily maintained. GLOSSARY IEEE 802.11 Standard to encourage interoperability among wireless networking equipment. IEEE 802.11a This is a high speed physical layer extension to the 802.11 standard on the 5 GHz band. IEEE 802.11b High-rate wireless LAN standard for wireless data transfer at up to 11 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g Higher Speed Physical Layer (PHY) Extension to IEEE 802.11b, will boost wireless LAN speed to 54 Mbps by using OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). The IEEE 802.11g specification is backward compatible with the widely deployed IEEE 802.11b standard. When configure radio with as bg mode, it means that radio will be compatible to 802.11b and 802.11g. When configure radio with as g mode, it means that radio will be only compatible to 802.11g. IEEE 802.11i As 802.11 has lot of deficiency in wireless security domain, especially for enterprise custom, IEEE defined a new standard 802.11i to extend security feature of 802.11 standard. AKM The authentication and key management method defined by 802.11i, and which includes 802.1x and pre-shared key.
