It would be nice if there was a feature that would get users to submit tickets instead of sending direct emails about issues. That's always the roughest part about implementing a helpdesk system.

I was just wondering about this as well. Is there any way to make the WLAN Controller go into a warning state if any of the AP's are down?

This is useful. Most of the time, I can pull a cap into Wireshark, which makes things easy, but this is useful for when that's not an option.

UPS alerts for when you have power issues are helpful. Gives you a good warning before they drain out and stuff starts shutting down. Also lets you know if your building has any weird power issues.

I figured it out. We actually had a web filter that had a change made to it recently that blocked Skype. Apparently, it thought that this SNMP traffic was Skype traffic. I have no clue why that is. The weird thing is that I did a packet cap on the ASA, and it was actually getting the packets for the periodic polling from…

I believe you will have to do these steps everytime you upgrade as well. Not a huge hassle, but something to keep in mind. It's really something that should just be a setting.

Definitely agree on point 1. And to take it further, I think that they should allow for the fine tuning of permissions on nearly everything.

If there's not an easy way to do it, then I probably won't bother. I just thought that if enumeration could handle it, it would have been simple enough to implement. Otherwise, just using the number will have to do.

Thanks for your help with this. I've removed and re-added the devices, and that didn't work. No changes(configs or updates) have been made to the ASAs. This problem started at the same time for both pairs of ASA/Link Balancers. I don't think the Barracuda's are the problem because the traffic appears to be getting blocked…

Just in case anyone wants to be able to do this in the future, I wrote a powershell script that makes use of the WHD API to do this. Just create a schedule to run it every 5 minutes(or whatever you want). At the top of the script there are some parameters that you need to customize specifically for your site.…

And that reminds me. I need to water that cactus.

It turned out that we need SAM to be able to do this. We had installed the SAM trial a while back and then removed it, but somehow this functionality remained through a few upgrades. I guess that the NPM 12 upgrade just 'fixed' the problem.
