Wireless Device Monitoring

Iotellect Network Manager can monitor diverse wireless devices via SNMP. The required standard MIB file (IEEE802dot11-MIB) is included in the distribution bundle.

Network device overview dashboard of a wireless device shows the following metrics out-of-box:

  • Device SSID
  • BSS Type
  • Authentication Algorithm
  • Current CCA Mode
  • Interface Description
  • Country Code
  • Interface Type
  • MTU Setting
  • Wireless Interface Status
  • Wireless Interface Operational Status
  • MAC Address
  • MAC of the Most Transmitted Disassociation Frame
  • MAC of the Most Transmitted Deauthentication Frame
  • MAC of the Most Failed Authentication Frame

It's also possible to monitor vendor-specific wireless device information. For example, Cisco wireless devices provide the following detailed information via SNMP:

  • Number of clients, bridges and repeaters available via each wireless interface
  • Detailed information about every wireless client (name, state, address, role, device class, RSSI, traffic volume, and more)
