How to check if a Wireless Access Points (WAPs) is controlled by a Cisco network switchSummaryAs per current design, the Wireless Access Point (WAP) devices are not discovered directly. The discovery of the (WAP) devices is made via Cisco device that controls them. To discover a Wireless Access Point (WAP) device the Cisco Switch Wireless Access Point (WAP) discovery requirements must be meet and in addition the network access and rights for collecting data must be granted by infrastructure or network team. The prerequisites to discover a Wireless Access Point (WAP) include Discovery and Service Mapping Plugin and Cisco WAPs extension. The network requirements for discover a (WAP) device include: SNMP access to Cisco Wireless Access Point (WAP) deviceAccess from MID Server to query and collect data for Cisco Wireless Access Point (WAP) on OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.2.1.1.InstructionsValidate that plugin with ID "sn_itom_pattern" is installed by checking the Plugins Module. Debug the WAPs extension having the correct IP of the Cisco switch that is managing that (WAP) device. Confirm the presence of the WAP Extension Entering Debug Mode of the extension If the connection to the IP Switch using SNMP protocol is not successful than a timeout error like the one from below will be printed: In this case the Network or Infrastructure Team must be contacted in order to allow access via SNMP protocol to the IP switch. If the connection to the device IP switch is successful but no data can be collected from SNMP walking on OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.2.1.1 that means that: 1 - the user utilized in SNMP discovery does not have rights to access that OID 2 - the IP Switch device does not have any (WAP)s information or capability Related LinksIn order to validate if the OID is reachable from MID Server, any snmpwalk tool can be used to directly querytest the target host.
