Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is TRAPEZE-NETWORKS-INFO-RF-DETECT-MIB?
This is a Trapeze Networks (a wireless LAN vendor later acquired by Juniper) private MIB for RF security detection, part of the Trapeze wireless controller's rogue-AP and wireless intrusion detection feature set. It exposes tables of detected RF transmitters and clients, including their MAC addresses, channel, signal strength, and a classification (e.g., rogue, known, ad-hoc) with a stated reason. Its monitoring value is squarely security/software-status oriented rather than classic hardware health: it lets an admin see which unauthorized or suspicious wireless transmitters have been detected nearby, their signal strength trend, and how the controller classified each threat, which is essential for wireless intrusion detection and compliance. It is part of the larger Trapeze wireless MIB suite and depends on the controller's underlying RF-scanning/sensor infrastructure to populate its tables. It's typically deployed in enterprise WLAN security monitoring via the Trapeze (later Juniper) wireless controller's SNMP interface. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the TRAPEZE-NETWORKS-INFO-RF-DETECT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TRAPEZE-NETWORKS-INFO-RF-DETECT-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
- Trapeze Networks (Juniper) wireless LAN controller
Monitoring Examples
An admin would poll trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrTable, keyed by trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrTransmitterMacAddress and trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrListenerMacAddress, to review trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrRssi and trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrChannelNum for a newly detected access point. trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrClassification together with trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrClassificationReason reveals whether the controller flagged the transmitter as a rogue AP and why (e.g., matching SSID but unknown MAC), while trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrSsid and trpzInfoRFDetectXmtrNetworkingMode show what network the rogue is impersonating. trpzInfoRFDetectClientTable similarly tracks wireless clients associated with detected transmitters, helping identify which client devices are at risk.
What Can Be Monitored
- detected transmitter MAC/SSID
- RF signal strength (RSSI)
- channel number
- rogue/threat classification
- classification reason
- associated client detection
