shutdown radios over snmp

Mark — Wed, 07 Jun 2017 22:57:00 GMT

I am trying to shutdown the access point radio over SNMP.

I have an OID from the MIB that says I should be able to do this, but I cannot find a value that will be acceptable.

The OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.388.50.1.3.34.2.1.5 - wingCfgAltDevIfShutdown, is showing the current setting of the radio, and is a Read-Write value. It is Integer format, but I have no found a value that is acceptable using SNMPSET.

I enter "snmpset -r:(IP Address) -o:(OID stated above) -val:10", then I receive a badvalue(3) error. I don't know what value is acceptable as a value of 1 in integer format. Any suggestions?

This was done using snmpsoft.com snmpset function, AP7532, and WING 5.8.3 firmware.

Hi Mark,

looks you have a wrong OID - this one is the one you are looking for
-- 1.3.6.1.4.1.388.50.1.3.18.3.1.1.5 wingCfgDevIfShutdown OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX TruthValue MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION " XPath: /wing-config/device[mac=key1]/interface[name=key2]/shutdown" DEFVAL { false } ::= { wingCfgDevIfEntry 5 }
OID you shared above is read-only and seems to be monitoring one.

Please try with correct OID and let me know.

Regards,
Ondrej

Mark,

seems we are both looking wrong way - this OID is for Ethernet interfaces.
Looking around in the MIB I found that snmpwalk on group 1.3.6.1.4.1.388.50.1.3.18.3.1.1 gives you overview of available interfaces

These are only radio control parameters you can use via SNMP

Hi guys, won't open a new thread, because my target maybe the same as marks. I just wanna shut down a wireless network (a SSID for guests) via snmp and re-enable if necessary.

I diff'ed the snmpwalks with enabled and disabled state and got the following OID:

iso.3.6.1.4.1.388.50.1.4.3.2.10.1.1.15.7.100.101.102.97.117.108.116.20.56.52.45.50.52.45.56.68.45.56.57.45.65.52.45.53.52.58.82.49 = Gauge32: 0
iso.3.6.1.4.1.388.50.1.4.3.2.10.1.1.15.7.100.101.102.97.117.108.116.20.56.52.45.50.52.45.56.68.45.56.57.45.65.52.45.53.52.58.82.50 = Gauge32: 0

In enabled state both are 1, disabled zero. But the seems to be both read-only.

I am testing on WiNG v5.9.0, but believe the MIBs are the same. I am using the WING-MIB.mib file from the AP7522 v5.9.0 firmware zip file in conjunction to Ireasoning MIB Browser. I successfully can use the following to set the WLAN shutdown (integer, value = 1) and to re-enabled use integer, value = 2).

.1.3.6.1.4.1.388.50.1.3.4.1.1.3.4.87.80.65.50

Hey Christopher, I got it working, thanks fot that!

For a complete solution of my task, I need to view/change the PSK of wlan. Is there any value at the private community tree?

Any further ideas here?

Hi Maik, try IF-MIB::ifDescr to define your wifi interface on device , than set this interface off by ifAdminStatus.
