Cisco AP1240's not showing up in Wireless

rene.verhagen

Hello all,

We are running NPM 9.5 SP5, and added a couple of Cisco AP's to NPM. They all are 1240's, and seen correctly in NPM. However, under Wireless they do not show up at all, and I am wondering why that is. I searched the forums but did not find a similar case yet, so that's why I am asking here.

Point is they are running in a customer's LAN, and only ICMP and SNMP are allowed in the tunnel to that location. For NPM, that is enough, but maybe the Wireless module needs more connectivity.

Anyone? Thanks in advance!

Regards, Rene

    If NPM can see it and it has SNMP access, the 1240 is a thick/autonomous AP right?  Can you confirm if it supports the 802.11 MIB?

    Hi Brandon,

    This is what NPM says:

    It does not mention anything about the device being any type of AP... :)

    Maybe stupid question, but how can I tell if the device supports the 802.11 MIB?

    Thanks for your help!

    Regards, Rene

    Do you have a MIB Browser, like in our Toolset?  1.2.840.10036 is the OID for this MIB you can try it against it

    I have used MIB-Walk from the Toolset to walk the MIBs and determine the support MIBs, but unfortunately the 802.11MIB is not there.

    Here's what IS supported: AirPair-MIB, BLC, BRIDGE-MIB, CISCOTRAP-MIB, END, ENTITY-MIB, EtherLike-MIB, Ethernet-MIB, IF-MIB, IP-MIB, OLD-CISCO-SYS-MIB, OLD-CISCO-SYSTEM-MIB, OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB, RFC1213 and SNMPv2-MIB.

    Isn't it strange that an AP from Cisco does not support the 802.11MIB? And if it doesn't, can I upgrade the IOS or so?

    Hope this helps, regards,

    Rene

    Yes, the next step is to check for an updated IOS that does support the 802.11 MIB.
