Abstract
Reliability and stability are essential conditions for proper operation of any communication system, it is more critical if we talk about wireless networks. Some applications are not fault tolerant for data loss or even synchronization issues; it means that administrators should care not only about application itself but with physical layer as well. By tracking performance and status using open source and standardized protocol is possible to correct or predict possible operational problems at network. In this paper we describe relevant 802.11 SNMP MIB set of parameters with suggestions of optimum values to each one. We also describe some data correlation possibilities, measurement scenarios and cases studies to be used as reference for wireless network administration. The proposal is to correlate gathered data from wireless nodes with environmental information.
