CISCO-WIRELESS-HOTSPOT-MIB

Description

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 Cisco Light-weight CAPWAP Access Points. This MIB provides configuration about Hotspot 2.0 functionality as defined by WiFi Alliance. Particularly there are two main configuration groups related to Hotspot: - ANQP server configuration - Hotspot icon configuration The ANQP server configuration contains the server parameters and the network information that the client can query through the GAS/ANQP protocol. A given ANQP server is associated to a policy-profile, which is then mapped to a WLAN. The Hotspot icon configuration allows to define the properties of the icons stored on the CC that can be associated to an Online Sing-up (OSU) provider defined in the ANQP server. GLOSSARY Access Point ( AP ) An entity that contains an 802.11 medium access control ( MAC ) and physical layer ( PHY ) interface and provides access to the distribution services via the wireless medium for associated clients. LWAPP APs encapsulate all the 802.11 frames in LWAPP frames and sends them to the controller to which it is logically connected. Central Controller ( CC ) The central entity that terminates the LWAPP protocol tunnel from the LWAPP APs. Throughout this MIB, this entity is also referred to as 'controller'. Light Weight Access Point Protocol ( LWAPP ) This is a generic protocol that defines the communication between the Access Points and the Central Controller. Mobile Node ( MN ) A roaming 802.11 wireless device in a wireless network associated with an access point. Access Network Query Protocol ( ANQP ) This is a query and response protocol used by a Mobile Node to discover information about the network advertised by an Access Point. Generic Advertisement Service ( GAS ) It provides the Layer 2 transport between MN and a server in the network for the advertisement protocol frames prior to authentication. Organization Identifier ( OI ) Identifies an operator, manufacturer or organization. It is assigned by IEEE. ANQP server This is the server that replies to the ANQP queries, providing the requested information. In can be the AP itself, the CC or an external entity. Service Set Identifier ( SSID ) A service set identifier is a name that identifies a particular 802.11 wireless LAN. A client device receives broadcast messages from all access points within range advertising their SSIDs. The client device can then either manually or automatically, based on configuration, select the network with which to associate. The SSID can be up to 32 characters long. Homogeneous Extended Service Set Identifier ( HESSID ) This is a globally unique identifier, in MAC address format, used to identify a group of APs connected to the same list of Service Providers or other destination network(s). Network Access Identifier ( NAI ) In order to provide roaming services, it is necessary to have a standardized method for identifying users. NAI is actually the user identity submitted by the client during network authentication. Hotspot Operator Icon An icon representing a given operator.
