dot11BeamformingFrameCount
Module: IEEE802dot11-MIB
OID (symbolic): IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11BeamformingFrameCount
OID (numeric): 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.49
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: This counter shall be incremented when th transmitter sends a frame with new/updated beam forming parameters.
What is dot11BeamformingFrameCount?
This OID counts the number of wireless frames sent with advanced directional antenna adjustments (beamforming) to improve signal strength. Higher counts indicate more aggressive optimization happening in real time. A wireless engineer would monitor this to confirm the access point is optimizing coverage for far or obstructed clients.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.49 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11BeamformingFrameCount
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.49.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11BeamformingFrameCount.1
