Is there a way to get Aruba APs into NCM? Maybe through wireless in NCM? They do not have any SNMP settings of their own so they cannot be brought in by a scan.
Yes, you could add the device and ignore the SNMP failed error. Then, you'd have to manually assign a device template since we wouldn't have a system OID from discovery to auto-associate.
But since they do not respond to SNMP how will NCM pull data from them?
Ah, I didn't realize you were trying to inventory them. I thought you were interested in just backing them up via SSH, Telnet, or TFTP.
Without SNMP, the only way to gather inventory data is to create some scheduled scripts to store the result of "show" commands (assuming they exist) to a file and/or email the results.
OK then. Let's turn this into an NCM feature reuqest so that NCM can see APs like NPM does for the purposes of inventory.
can you elaborate a little bit on how to write the script and use the show command to inventory the APs? thank you
