Wireless Access points in NPM

stevenjwilliams83 Oct 25, 2013 9:09 AM

Are wireless access points considered nodes in NPM? How does NPM detect wireless access points? Can alerts be configured for AP's that go in an up/down status?

Steven,

Yes, WAPs are considered nodes in NPM, and we will pull wireless data if the device is supported. Typical node status alerts would apply.

  In the case of Thin APs their status is pollled through the wireless controller that are connected to and have a different set of alerts.
  
  note: if you have controllers with a 'failover' configuration the same AP may be down on the backup controller and up on the active controller and alerts are somewhat hard to get right.
