Two MIB OIDs related to obtaining number of clients through snmp

SenthilS · ‎02-09-2024

I am trying to monitor the number of clients connected to AP via snmp.

I see two mib oids in AIRESPACE-WIRELESS-MIB that appear to give somewhat similar info.

bsnApIfNoOfUsers (.1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.2.2.1.15) - No of Users associated with this radio.

bsnAPIfLoadNumOfClients (.1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.2.13.1.4) - This is the number of clients attached to this Airespace AP at the last measurement interval(This comes from APF)

Both tables have same index. Not clear what is the difference between these two oids.

Can anyone help clarify this ?

what is the model of the AP, and what code running on it ?

are you doing snmpwalk to WLC ? or directly AP ?

can you post example outcome here to understand the issue ?
