NPM thinks a 2811 is a Heavy AP

I am relatively new to Solarwinds.  All of my remote locations use either 2811 or 2821 series routers.  When I add them to Solarwinds the system seems to think most of them are Wireless Autonomous APs.  I am not sure why.  I tried deleting and adding them again but it was no help.  Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

  • As I keep working on this heavy AP issue,I would like to confirm the following OIDs are matching up in the database.

    Here is the SysObjectID for

    2811-->1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.576

    2821-->1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.577

    Log into the database and execute the following query to see what SysObjectID is showing for the nodes in the question.

    Select nodeid,ip_address,caption,sysobjectid from nodes where nodeid=?

    ?-->Log into the GUI,goto the node details page of node in question.Once you are in the Node details page,look at the URL of the web page.It should look like the one below.

    http://xxxxxx/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:17

    17 is the node id for that node.Key in this id in the Query above.Please compare the Sysobjectid value let us know the result.

  • I ran the query as requested.  Below are the results.

  • FWIW I had the same problem with 2801 and 2811 routers.  I fixed it by going to Admin -> Views -> Views by Device Type and changing the Web View for those device types to "default".  They were set to "Wireless Autonomous AP".

  • owilson, thanks for the reply.  made the change and everything looks good now.
