dot11ChannelWidthSwitchCount

Module: IEEE802dot11-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11ChannelWidthSwitchCount

OID (numeric): 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.38

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: This counter shall be increment when the bandwidth used is switched from 20 to 40 or vice-versa.

What is dot11ChannelWidthSwitchCount?

A counter incremented each time the station's operating bandwidth switches between 20 MHz and 40 MHz. Frequent switching flagged by a fast-rising counter can indicate channel contention or interference forcing the radio to fall back to a narrower channel repeatedly.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.38
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11ChannelWidthSwitchCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.38.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11ChannelWidthSwitchCount.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dot11ChannelWidthSwitchCount.1
