Querying wifi controller(5508) for probe requests forwarded from access points using SNMP

[seemanagar]

Any device looking for wireless network transmits probe requests to find nearby access points . The access points in turn forwards the probes received to wifi controller. Cisco's mobility service engine(MSE) gets these probe requests forwarded to wifi controller from different access points to find the location of mobile devices.

In my office, we have cisco 5508 wifi controller. I want to query the wifi controller to get the probe requests using SNMP.  Cisco follows a different mechanism for getting the probe requests from wifi controller.

Using SNMP I can query any OID(object identifier) from MIB(management information base) of a wifi controller.    Basically my question is how to query the wifi controller for probe requests ? What is the OID I should query for ?

Hi Seemanagar,

I too want to know the same stuff as you've explained above. Did you managed to get the OID to get the details of probe packets? I am interested in the client mac addresses, their snr values etc. for my work.

Thanks in advance for the help :)
