Monitor Traffic on APs

  • 1.  Monitor Traffic on APs

    Posted Jul 29, 2014 08:56 PM

    Hi

     

    We are using Nagios to monitor our IT infrastructure. We have defined SNMP on controller and we can monitor controller bandwidth and other parameters. My question is:

    Is there a way we can monitor or define SNMP on an access point to print MRTG (usage graphs) and different MIBs for a particular AP?

     

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Hi Farzan,

    there is no SNMP agent on the APs. To monitor APs you need to query the controller, take a look into the WLSX-WLAN-MIB, specifically the wlanAPxxxxxxx OIDs, there are various ones there that can be used to view total or 'data' only components of AP, per SSID.

     

    WLSX-WLAN-MIB::wlanAPRxDataPkts[STRING: 0:24:6c:ca:24:78][1][STRING: 0:24:6c:22:47:88] = Counter32: 0
WLSX-WLAN-MIB::wlanAPRxDataPkts[STRING: 0:24:6c:ca:24:78][1][STRING: 0:24:6c:22:47:8a] = Counter32: 3238076
