Need assistance with setup of a Cisco 1142 AP in NPM 10.

I did not setup the AP's just the wireless controllers and the AP's came up. I ried to do what you are doing but it turned out to be not what I was looking for and it will always show as unknown. I mean you can make modications to get it close but I get better info off the AP when I discover the wireless controllers and not the AP. Of course we have the 1242's not sure if it makes a difff.

EMJR,

Thank you for the reply. I do not have a controller these are Autonomous Access Points. Anyone know how I can gather information off of these Access Points?

Thank you.

I noticed on the Orion online demo that they have a Cisco 1200 wireless AP that shows the information that I would like to see on my Cisco 1142N wireless AP. Can someone help me with setting up my AP with NPM10 to display the same type of informatoin that is on the onilne demo?

This is the information that Orion pulls on my Cisco 1142 wireless Access Point.

Thanks.

I ended up fixing my issue. The issue was due to the fact Cisco 1142 AP has an optional object identifier (OID) field that auto populates "ieee802dot11" when you set the SNMP string. I removed the ieee802dot11 from this field and my NPM picked up my 1142 AP Wireless information.

Hello,

Where exactly is this OID set? My APs are associated with the WLC 4404s and I can't seem to find this option.

Thanks!

Response from Solarwinds support: "These types of APs (lightweight) do not support SNMP therefore we can not poll statistical information from them since this can only be done via SNMP. The only thing that can be monitored on them is status since this is done via ICMP."
