Cisco Wireless LAN Controller?

Any idea on when/if Solarwinds Wireless Network Monitor will support Cisco Wireless LAN controllers? I'm even willing to donate one or two to Solarwinds if it would help get development started.

Would it help if I asked nicely?

P L E A S E ? ?

I figured it was worth a shot

I'm afraid we don't have an ETA just yet, but improvements to Wireless Monitor are on our roadmap.

We are scheduled to start the conversion process to the cisco centralized solution within 6 months.

The current wireless package will be of little value after the conversion.

Does v8 Wireless Module support Cisco LWAPP Thin AP's Yet?? Are there plans to make this work without the use and resources od a custom poller?

It does not. We are considering that feature for a future release.

We've switched to an all LWAPP environment and now our wireless module is useless.

Please comment when you know how long until Solarwinds supports LWAPP. I know Cisco WLC's have plenty of readable MIBS....we just need the Solarwinds team to pull them all together.

bleh

I'm another customer with a number of LWAPs deployed. Currently about 33% of our APs are LWAPs, and we are getting ready to convert more of our larger sites in the near future.

Of course we still have trouble getting the Network discovery to find our regular Cisco APs and without the time to manually enter all of them we are basically not using this module at all.

Add us to the list. We currently have the wireless module but will be converting 60 APs in 08. I guess it looks like we wont renew that module if it will be useless.

Oh and we also have a WLSE.

I would also like to put my voice forward to see if WLC and LWAPP will be supported we currently have 175 LWAPP AP's and that's growing month on month.

We are in the beginnings of a migration to LWAPP AP's globallly and this would be a disaster if they are not supported.

I will also have to eliminate using the wireless module as I have already converted over 80 AP's to the cisco wifi controller using LWAPP

We are getting ready to move over 800 access points to LWAPP, this will take the wireless module off the list of things to buy

Add us as well. We are migrating our APs to LWAP now. There isn't much use for the module then, and very little on the AP can be monitored once it is migrated.

all i can say is SIGH!!!!!!!!!!

i am also awaiting this integration. until then, i have uploaded a template to the sharing zone to at least download the config from the WLC. hope this might help a bit, but it does nothing for the monitoring of the lightweight aps.
