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 WS-SW-GRE-MIB?
WS-SW-GRE-MIB is a private MIB from Symbol Technologies (later Motorola, now part of Zebra/Extreme) for the WS-series wireless switch product line, covering configuration of GRE tunnel endpoints used to backhaul traffic between the wireless switch and its access points. Its data is primarily configuration in nature: the tunnel endpoint address and the encapsulation parameters that define how wireless client traffic is wrapped for transport across the wired network. Monitoring value centers on confirming the software/tunneling service is correctly configured and operational, since a misconfigured or down GRE tunnel endpoint directly breaks connectivity between the wireless switch and its access points; no hardware sensor data (temperature, fans, etc.) is indicated for this module. It builds on generic GRE tunneling concepts and likely interacts with standard interface (IF-MIB) objects for the tunnel interface itself, though no explicit sample objects were provided to confirm this. It is deployed in enterprise WLAN installations that use Symbol/Motorola wireless switches for centralized, tunnel-based AP traffic backhaul. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the WS-SW-GRE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WS-SW-GRE-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
- Symbol Technologies / Motorola / Zebra wireless switches (WS series)
Monitoring Examples
No specific sample objects were supplied for this MIB, so concrete object names cannot be cited; in general terms, an administrator would check the configured tunnel endpoint address and encapsulation parameters to confirm they match the peer access point or controller, and would expect a mismatch or missing endpoint to show up as lost connectivity to the affected APs.
What Can Be Monitored
- GRE tunnel endpoint configuration
- tunnel encapsulation parameters
