CISCO-LWAPP-OPENDNS-MIB

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 OPENDNS on the controller. Particularly this mib covers the OPENDNS for the wireless controllers. OpenDNS provides cloud based security service by inspecting DNS query. It can filter the fully qualified domain name(FQDN) from the DNS query and provide customized policy for the security administrator to allow or deny traffic towards the FQDN. ISR4K platform can act as a DNS forwarder on network edge, the router can transparently intercept the DNS traffic and forward DNS queries to the OpenDNS cloud. 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 it to the controller to which it is logically connected to. Central Controller ( CC ) The central entity that terminates the LWAPP protocol tunnel from the LWAPP APs. Throughout this MIB, this entity 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 controllers.
