Monitoring WLAN Health
This section lists SNMP MIBs that are frequently used to run health checks on Dell W-Instant devices, which can
be performed through a MIB browser application. To retrieve information from a MIB, the following information
is required:
SNMP version
SNMP community name—
public
or
private
The IP Address of the Dell PowerConnect W-Series Mobility Controller
The OID of the MIB value you want to monitor
In addition, MIB files can be placed in the appropriate disk location to assist the user in locating desired OID
values for monitoring. If MIB files need to be acquired, see
Downloading MIB Files
.
It is assumed that the workstation is connected to the Dell W-Instant and that a MIB browser is available. For
most applications, the
root
of the MIB must be included in the OID—the OID begins with a decimal point as
shown below.
.

If using an application that is run through CLI (a
cmd
window), the command would resemble the following:
snmpget -v 2c -c <community name> <Instant IP address><MIB OID>
