Module: IEEE802dot11-MIB
OID (symbolic): IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11DesiredBSSType
OID (numeric): 1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.10

Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This attribute shall specify the type of BSS the station shall use when scanning for a BSS with which to synchronize. This value is used to filter Probe Response frames and Beacons. When set to infrastructure, the station shall only synchronize with a BSS whose Capability Information field has the ESS subfield set to 1. When set to independent, the station shall only synchronize with a BSS whose Capability Information field has the IBSS subfield set to 1. When set to any, the station may synchronize to either type of BSS.
What is dot11DesiredBSSType?
This attribute specifies what type of wireless Basic Service Set (BSS) network a 802.11 station should connect to when scanning for available networks: infrastructure (standard access point), independent (ad hoc peer-to-peer), or any. The station uses this setting to filter which Beacon and Probe Response frames it will respond to. An operator configures this to control whether a device connects to traditional wireless networks via an access point or operates in peer-to-peer mode.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.10 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11DesiredBSSType
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.10.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11DesiredBSSType.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.10.1 i <value>
