Description: LigoWave MIB providing Atheros chipset driver-level statistics for wireless performance monitoring on LigoWave radio devices.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is LIGO-ATHDRV-STATS-MIB?
LIGO-ATHDRV-STATS-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB published by LigoWave for its wireless broadband radio equipment, exposing low-level statistics from the Atheros wireless chipset driver used inside LigoWave outdoor/indoor access points and subscriber units. It surfaces counters covering radio driver error conditions, interrupt-level events, and transmit/receive queue behavior rather than general system configuration. It is primarily useful for monitoring the hardware/software health of the radio's Atheros chipset driver, exposing watchdog timeouts, hardware error interrupts, beacon miss interrupts, receive overrun/EOL interrupts, and transmit underrun/queue-full conditions that indicate driver or RF hardware distress. As a proprietary LigoWave extension it has no dependency on standard networking MIBs beyond base SNMPv2-SMI conventions. It is typically deployed in outdoor wireless ISP (WISP) and point-to-point/point-to-multipoint bridge links where operators need chipset-level diagnostics beyond standard interface counters. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the LIGO-ATHDRV-STATS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LIGO-ATHDRV-STATS-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- LigoWave wireless access point/bridge radio
Monitoring Examples
An operator would poll ligoAthStatsTable/ligoAthStatsEntry per-radio rows for counters like ligoAthWatchdogTimeouts and ligoAthHardwareErrorInterrupts to catch a radio that is silently resetting or losing sync with its driver. A rising ligoAthBeaconMissInterrupts count combined with ligoAthRecvOverrunInterrupts or ligoAthRecvEolInterrupts would point to RF interference or a failing antenna link. Growing ligoAthTxFramesDiscQueueDepth or ligoAthTxQueueFull values would flag transmit queue congestion, often correlating with throughput drops on the wireless link.
What Can Be Monitored
- watchdog timeouts
- hardware error interrupts
- beacon miss interrupts
- receive overrun/EOL interrupts
- transmit underrun interrupts
- transmit queue depth/discards
