AccessPointAddress | string |

Description

string

AccessPointAddress shall contain the MAC address of the access point with which the WiFiEndpoint is currently associated. If the WiFiEndpoint is not currently associated, then AccessPointAddress shall be NULL.The MAC address shall be formatted as twelve hexadecimal digits (for example, "010203040506"), with each pair representing one of the six octets of the MAC address in "canonical" bit order. (Therefore, the Group address bit is found in the low order bit of the first character of the string.)

Associated | boolean |
Description | string | Associated shall indicate whether or not the WiFiEndpoint is currently associated to an access point or client station.
AuthenticationMethod | uint16 |

Description

string

AuthenticationMethod shall specify the method used to authenticate the WiFiEndpoint and the network to one another. * Unknown (0): shall indicate that the authentication method is unknown to the server. * Other (1): shall indicate that the authentication method is known to the server but not specified in the list below. If AuthenticationMethod contains 1, OtherAuthenticationMethod shall not be NULL and shall not be empty. * Open System (2): shall indicate that the authentication method is Open System. AuthenticationMethod shall contain 2 only if EncryptionMethod contains 2 ("WEP"). * Shared Key (3): shall indicate that the authentication method is Shared Key. AuthenticationMethod shall contain 3 only if EncryptionMethod contains 2 ("WEP"). * WPA PSK (4): shall indicate that the authentication method is WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) PSK (Pre-Shared Key). AuthenticationMethod shall contain 4 only if EncryptionMethod contains 3 ("TKIP") or 4 ("CCMP"). * WPA IEEE 802.1x (5): shall indicate that the authentication method is WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) IEEE 802.1x. AuthenticationMethod shall contain 5 only if EncryptionMethod contains 3 ("TKIP") or 4 ("CCMP"). * WPA2 PSK (6): shall indicate that the authentication method is WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access Version 2) PSK (Pre-Shared Key). AuthenticationMethod shall contain 6 only if EncryptionMethod contains 3 ("TKIP") or 4 ("CCMP"). * WPA2 IEEE 802.1x (7): shall indicate that the authentication method is WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access Version 2) IEEE 802.1x. AuthenticationMethod shall contain 6 only if EncryptionMethod contains 3 ("TKIP") or 4 ("CCMP"). * CCKM IEEE 802.1x (8): CCKM (Cisco Centralized Key Management with LEAP or EAP-FAST)

BSSType | uint16 |
Description | string | BSSType shall indicate the Basic Service Set (BSS) Type of the network that corresponds to the instance. A Basic Service Set is a set of stations controlled by a single coordination function. * Independent: the WiFiEndpoint is associated directly to another client station. * Infrastructure: the WiFiEndpoint is associated to a network via an access point.

Description

string

EncryptionMethod shall specify the encryption method in use to protect the confidentiality of data sent and received by the WiFiEndpoint. * Unknown (0): shall indicate that the encryption method is unknown to the server. * Other (1): shall indicate that the encryption method is known to the server but not defined in the list below. If EncryptionMethod contains 1, OtherEncryptionMethod shall not be NULL and shall not be empty. * WEP (2): shall indicate that the encryption method is Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP). The value of EncryptionMethod shall be 2 only if the value of AuthenticationMethod is 2 ("Open System") or 3 ("Shared Key"). * TKIP (3): shall indicate that the encryption method is Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). The value of EncryptionMethod shall be 3 only if the value of AuthenticationMethod is 4 ("WPA PSK"), 5 ("WPA IEEE 802.1x"), 6 ("WPA2 PSK"), or 7 ("WPA2 IEEE 802.1x"). * CCMP (4): shall indicate that the encryption method is Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP). The value of EncryptionMethod shall be 4 only if the value of AuthenticationMethod is 4 ("WPA PSK"), 5 ("WPA IEEE 802.1x"), 6 ("WPA2 PSK"), or 7 ("WPA2 IEEE 802.1x"). * None (5): shall indicate that no encryption method is in use. The value of EncryptionMethod shall be 5 only if the value of AuthenticationMethod is 2 ("Open System") or 3 ("Shared Key").
