XYLAN-VAP-MIB

Description: Manages Xylan OmniSwitch virtual access point configuration for dial-in and WAN connectivity.

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.

XYLAN-VAP-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Xylan (whose OmniSwitch product line was later absorbed into Alcatel), covering configuration of Virtual Access Points (VAP) used for dial-in and WAN connectivity on Xylan switches. It falls into the configuration/interface-management category, defining the parameters that set up virtual dial-in access ports rather than exposing broad hardware telemetry. Its monitoring value centers on software/service status — confirming that a VAP is configured and operationally up so dial-in or WAN sessions can be established, rather than on temperature, power, or CPU metrics. It has no strong stated dependency beyond the standard SNMPv2 SMI and the vendor's broader OmniSwitch enterprise MIB tree it belongs to. It is typically deployed on legacy Xylan/Alcatel OmniSwitch equipment providing dial-in remote access or WAN uplink connectivity in enterprise networks, and administrators can download the XYLAN-VAP-MIB file to load into their MIB browser for reference.

No sample object names were supplied for this module, so specific table names cannot be honestly cited; based on the description, an administrator would be expected to poll per-VAP configuration and operational-status objects to confirm a virtual access point is correctly configured and active before troubleshooting a failed dial-in or WAN connection attempt.
