SNMP_WLAN(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual SNMP_WLAN(3)
NAME
snmp_wlan - wireless networking module for bsnmpd(1)
LIBRARY
(begemotSnmpdModulePath."wlan" = /usr/lib/snmp_wlan.so)
DESCRIPTION
The snmp_wlan module implements a private BEGEMOT-WIRELESS-MIB, which
allows management of virtual wireless interfaces. The MIB defines
objects similar to the state data and configuration capabilities of
ifconfig(8) for configuring virtual wireless interfaces. Therefore one
should consider adding write communities or loading the snmp_wlan module
on systems where security is crucial.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
A short description of the Tables and interesting objects in the MIB
follows.
wlanInterfaceTable
The table is used for creation and deletion of virtual
wireless interfaces. To add a new interface, a SET should be
executed on the wlanIfaceName column with value the desired
name of the interface. Next the parent interface must be set
via wlanParentIfName column. Any optional parameters may be
set via the wlanIfaceOperatingMode, wlanIfaceFlags,
wlanIfaceBssid and wlanIfaceLocalAddress columns. To finally
create the interface in the system, a SET with value of
active(1) to wlanIfaceStatus column should be executed. To
destroy a wireless interface a SET with value of destroy(6) to
the relevant wlanIfaceStatus column should be executed.
wlanIfParentTable
The table contains information about the hardware capabilities
of the parent of a wireless interface.
wlanIfaceConfigTable
The table is used to get or set various configuration
parameters for a virtual wireless interface. Depending on the
operating mode of the interface and the hardware capabilities
of the underlying hardware interface, not all parameters and
values may be supported.
wlanIfacePeerTable
The table contains information about the associated stations
for interfaces operating as access points, or the stations
identified as neighbors in the IBSS for interfaces operating
in adhoc mode.
wlanIfaceChannelTable
Information about the active channels for the wireless
interfaces in the system.
wlanIfRoamParamsTable
The parameters that govern the roaming operation on the
wireless interfaces.
wlanIfTxParamsTable
wlanScanResultsTable
The table contains the scan results from the last scan for
each wireless interface on the system.
wlanIfaceStatisticsTable
Summary statistics for each wireless interface on the system.
wlanWepInterfaceTable
WEP configuration for the wireless interfaces on the system.
wlanMACAccessControlTable
Access Control configuration for wireless interfaces operating
as access points.
wlanMACAccessControlMACTable
The table with Access Control MAC entries for which the
configured Access Control Policy on wireless interfaces
operating in Host AP mode is applied.
wlanMACAccessControlMACStatus column is used to add or delete
MAC ACL entries. A set with value createAndGo(4) will add new
entry, while with value destroy(6) will delete an existing
one.
wlanMeshRoutingConfig
The subtree contains system configuration related to Wireless
Mesh Routing.
wlanMeshInterfaceTable
The table contains information for wireless interfaces
operating as wireless mesh points.
wlanMeshNeighborTable
The table contains information for the neighbors of wireless
interfaces operating in mesh mode.
wlanMeshRouteTable
The mesh routing table for interfaces operating as mesh
points, used for forwarding packets on a mesh network.
wlanMeshRouteStatus column is used to add or delete entries in
the mesh routing table for an interface. A set with value
createAndGo(4) will add new entry, while with value destroy(6)
will delete an existing one.
wlanMeshStatsTable
Summary statistics for each virtual wireless interface
operating as mesh point.
wlanMeshHWMPConfig
The subtree contains system configuration related to Hybrid
Wireless Mesh Protocol.
wlanHWMPInterfaceTable
The table contains HWMP information for wireless interfaces
operating in mesh mode.
wlanMeshHWMPStatsTable
Summary statistics for HWMP operation on interfaces operating
as mesh points.
