We are new to NAV and have a couple of questions regarding adding new IP devices. We are trying to add our Cisco 1242 and 1131 access points, and I can see that they are already added in the "Type" list. But we are using Lightweight AP's that does not have SNMP, so I do not have a RO community. How do I best add the access points then? Is it possible to use "WLAN" as device, or do I have to add it under "Other"?
Hi Lene, welcome to the list.
The WLAN category requires the device to answer SNMP requests. You will need to add your lightweight APs under the OTHER category to avoid the SNMP requirement. This means that NAV can only do status monitoring of these devices.
Hi. Morten.
One quick question regarding monitoring of lightweight access-points. When will NAV be able to handle AP up-/down-traps sent from wireless controllers? Then you will not need to register APs in NAV since the wireless controllers handle this part. The APs are already registered there so that makes sence :-) But NAV will do the part with sending SMS/email to the right people and maintain a list of APs down.
