This MIB is intended to be implemented on all those
devices operating as Central Controllers (CC) that
terminate the Light Weight Access Point Protocol
tunnel from Light-weight LWAPP Access Points.
This MIB provides configuration and status information
about the CCXv5 clients that the controller is aware of.
This configuration and status information pertaining
to the client is termed as Client Reporting.
Client Reporting is a mechanism used by a client and
AP for the purpose of exchanging client information.
Once a client has associated with the network, the
associated AP may send the client a Client Report
Request frame at any time. This frame identifies
what type of information is desired from the client.
For all CCXv5 clients, client reporting is organized
into 4 major categories:
Client Profile Information
Client Manufacturer Information
Client Operational Parameter Information
Client Capability Information
Client Profile is for retrieving information about the
configuration on the client.
Manufacturer Information is for retreiving data about
the wireless adaptor in use.
Operating parameters is for retrieving the details of
the clients current operational modes
Client Capabilities is for retrieving information
about the client's capabilities.
This mib defines the attributes for all of the above 4
categories.
