  Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) Protocol
                                Base MIB

Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols.  In particular, it
   describes the managed objects for modeling the Control And
   Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) Protocol.  This MIB
   module is presented as a basis for future work on the SNMP management
   of the CAPWAP protocol.
