Catalyst 9800-80 snmp OIDs for AP-Count and Client-Count

KA4 — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 19:37:33 GMT

Currently migrating from CT8510 to Catalyst 9800-80 I am looking for SNMP-OIDs for new software that will represent the count of accesspoints associated to the controller and the overall count of clients logged into the all WLANs implemented. Old OIDs .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.618.1.8.4.0 and .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.618.1.8.12.0 will not work for new SW/HW.

There is another OID I'm looking for that will represent the number of clients associated to a specific accesspoint (old OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.513.1.1.1.1.72)

Best regards

Georg

I'm looking for exactly the same OIDs you mentioned..Did you find anything ?

i have found this OID to deliver the number of associated access points:

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.846.1.2.14.1.3.0.4.10.127.0.5

the last 4 segments represent the mgmt ip address, in my case "10.127.0.5"

hope this is correct and helps others...

Thanks @Raoul1971 useful to know but not exactly a direct replacement and requires a bit of extra effort to extract the right mobility peer's count by IP address. For anyone who's interested this is actually the mobility MIB showing APs on each of the mobility peers:

snmpwalk -c community -v 2c w.x.y.z 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.846.1.2.14.1.3
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.846.1.2.14.1.3.0.4.a.b.c.d = Gauge32: 1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.846.1.2.14.1.3.0.4.d.e.f.g = Gauge32: 0

Object cLMobilityExtMCAPCount
MIB CISCO-LWAPP-MOBILITY-EXT-MIB
Description "This object indicates the total number of APs reported by this device: this MC, or its peer MC or its MA."

Hi KA4 - did you ever found the client count OID ?

Re: Catalyst 9800-80 snmp OIDs for AP-Count and Client-Count

Still not supported @Filip.Olsen
Follow https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/catalyst-9800-series-wireless-controllers/217460-monitor-catalyst-9800-wlc-via-snmp-with.html#anc17 for status but it now seems unlikely that Cisco will ever implement this.
It should have been introduced by https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvu26309 but the status is now terminated which means they have no intention to fix it even though it must be such a simple thing to do - an absolute disgrace in my opinion!

Also although https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvv44330 says Fixed - only in 17.5.1, but that would normally carry forward to future releases - I've tested on 17.9.4 and AP count still not working either.

Yes, it seems that SNMP third party monitoring is really limited.
What TAC told me is that if you want or provide your network for full capabilities you need the Cisco DNA Wireless software. In my case, we have SolarWinds and just some parameters could be monitored (CPU, Memory, interface and temperature).
A shame, to be honest.

Number of Accesspoints:

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.846.1.2.14.1.3.0.4.aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
(aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd = HA-Cluster-IP or Controller IP)

Number of connected Clients (per WLAN!)
1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.1.1.1.38 [walk/table]

Tested on:
Cisco Catalyst 9800-40 Wireless Controller
Firmware 17.9.4a

This worked, thanks.

Have anybody found any walk/table that list SSID names?

Re: Catalyst 9800-80 snmp OIDs for AP-Count and Client-Count

steffenille — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 08:37:02 GMT

you can get them via OID walk 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.513.1.10.2.1.1

but there will be a lot, beccause it's all SSIDs per AP. I'd suggest you opick one AP an then walk through his SSIDs:

e.g. walk 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.513.1.10.2.1.1.124.33.13.53.185.96.0
