Module: IEEE802dot11-MIB
OID (symbolic): IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11BeaconPeriod
OID (numeric): 1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.12
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This attribute shall specify the number of TU that a station shall use for scheduling Beacon transmissions. This value is transmitted in Beacon and Probe Response frames.
What is dot11BeaconPeriod?
Specifies, in TU, the interval at which a station transmits Beacon frames; this value is also advertised in Beacon and Probe Response frames. Access-point admins shorten this (e.g. to 100 TU) for faster client discovery/roaming, or lengthen it to reduce beacon overhead on a busy channel.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.12 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11BeaconPeriod
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.12.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11BeaconPeriod.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.12.1 i <value>
