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
