Description: Monitors Symbol Technologies wireless switch client mobility state, roaming events, and tunnel assignments.
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-MOBILITY-MIB?
WS-SW-MOBILITY-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Symbol Technologies (later Motorola/Zebra) that monitors client mobility on its wireless switch infrastructure -- tracking wireless clients as they roam between access points managed by the same switch or across switches in a mobility domain. It exposes data such as client roaming/mobility state, roaming event history, and tunnel assignments used to maintain session continuity as a client moves. This is primarily a software/service-status MIB: administrators use it to monitor the health of the roaming and tunneling subsystem, catching cases where clients fail to roam cleanly, tunnels are not established, or roaming events spike abnormally (indicating RF or configuration issues). It depends on the underlying WLAN/AP association data (exposed by sibling Symbol wireless-switch MIBs) to correlate client mobility events with specific access points. It is typically deployed in enterprise Wi-Fi networks with multiple access points and switches spanning a mobility domain, such as campus or warehouse deployments. Engineers can download the WS-SW-MOBILITY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WS-SW-MOBILITY-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/Motorola/Zebra wireless switch / mobility domain
Monitoring Examples
No sample objects were provided, so this description is inferred from the module's stated purpose: an administrator would poll the client mobility-state and tunnel-assignment data to see how many wireless clients are actively roaming and whether their mobility tunnels are established correctly. A spike in failed roaming events or clients stuck in a non-roamed state would indicate a problem in the mobility domain, such as a broken inter-switch tunnel or RF coverage gap.
What Can Be Monitored
- client roaming/mobility state
- roaming event counts
- mobility tunnel assignments
- client-to-access-point association during roam
