WS-SW-MAC-NAME

Description: Manages Symbol Technologies wireless switch MAC address name-to-address mappings and alias table entries.

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.

WS-SW-MAC-NAME is a Symbol Technologies (Motorola) proprietary MIB for wireless switches that manages a name-to-MAC-address alias table, letting administrators assign friendly labels to client or device MAC addresses. It exposes configuration data only: the alias table entries mapping a human-readable name to a hardware address, with no environmental or performance counters. Its monitoring value is administrative rather than fault-oriented — it helps identify which named device or client corresponds to a given MAC entry seen in other switch tables (e.g., association or ACL logs), aiding troubleshooting of client identity rather than reporting hardware/software health directly. It is used alongside the vendor's broader wireless switch MIB tree (e.g., client association and ACL MIBs) for cross-referencing MAC addresses. Typical deployment is on Symbol/Motorola enterprise wireless switches where naming known devices simplifies operational management. Engineers can download the WS-SW-MAC-NAME file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

No sample object names were provided; based on the module description, the relevant data would be an alias table of name/MAC-address pairs. An administrator would poll this table to resolve a MAC address flagged in an ACL violation or association log to a known device name, revealing whether an unrecognized MAC belongs to an unauthorized client.
