Description: MIB for the NETGEAR WC7520 ProSafe 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN controller, managing AP associations, system settings, and controller notifications for up to 50 access points

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 WC7520-MIB?

WC7520-MIB is NETGEAR's module for the ProSafe WC7520 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN controller, a controller product managing up to 50 access points (enterprise OID netgear.productID.Wlancontroller.wc7520). It exposes controller identity and system settings (name, location, country), IP/VLAN network configuration (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS/WINS servers, VLAN tagging), and a notifications group for SNMP traps. Monitoring use includes tracking the controller's operational/system state (wcState) and its network configuration, plus receiving trap-based notifications for events across the managed AP fleet, functioning as the primary software/configuration health indicator for this controller-and-AP deployment. No specific dependency on other MIBs is apparent from the module description beyond standard SNMP notification conventions. It is deployed in mid-sized enterprise wireless networks where a NETGEAR WC7520 controller centrally manages a fleet of up to 50 access points. Engineers can download the WC7520-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WC7520-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

  • NETGEAR WC7520 ProSafe wireless LAN controller

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll wcState alongside wcName, wcLocation, and wcCountry to confirm the controller's identity and current operating state, and check wcIpVlanIp, wcIpVlanSubnetMask, and wcIpVlanDefaultGateway for correct network configuration. Receiving a trap defined under wcNotifications with objects populated from wcNotificationObjects (using prefix wcNotificationPrefix) would alert the admin to an event such as an AP joining, leaving, or losing connectivity to the controller.

What Can Be Monitored

  • controller system identity/location
  • controller operational state
  • IP/VLAN network configuration
  • DNS/WINS server settings
  • controller trap notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using wcState OID:

Select an NETGEAR WC7520 ProSafe wireless LAN controller (controller state/network-config/trap status) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type wcState into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the state flag is used to apply the configuration. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is anything other than 'Applied', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
