Cisco Wireless Lan Controller and NAV
Hi. Has NAV any support for Cisco Wireless Lan Controller 440x ? Trying to add my own device using editDb gives following output: Mod_python error: "PythonHandler editdb" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch result = object(req) File "/var/www/nav/editdb/editdb.py", line 158, in handler output = editPage(req,pageList[table](),request,unicodeError) File "/var/www/nav/editdb/editdb.py", line 465, in editPage outputForm,action) File "/var/www/nav/editdb/editdb.py", line 2327, in add box = initBox.Box(ip,form['ro']) File "/var/www/nav/editdb/initBox.py", line 49, in __init__ self.typeid = self.getType(identifier,ro) File "/var/www/nav/editdb/initBox.py", line 99, in getType sysobjectid = snmp.get(oid) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/nav/Snmp.py", line 146, in get raise "Snmp error %s at %s (%s, %s)" % \ Snmp error 2 at 1 (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0, NULL: ) Regards Odd Arne Hauge

Our Cisco devices, i.e., 6509, 6513, 3550, couldn't collect the bandwidth data in Routers bandwidth with OID defined in ~/cricket-config/routers/Defaults. All the graph views for routers show 0. How can I edit the config file so that NAV doesn't show the Bandwidth option in the page of /routers/ path? Thanks in adavance for any feedbacks. Anna Liu - annaliu@us.ibm.com (408)927-2846

This OID value actually equals 0, at lease for 6509, 3550, 3750, 3560 switches. I think it's deprecated OID from old Catalyst 5000.

Thank you Alexander, Do I have to remove bandwidth strings also in the DS lines? The view line seems apply to all targets in the Routers. Do I need to remove bandwidth contents each time when a new router is added?

Hi, I think I used bulk-import to get the box into nav. I am not sure what Category I should place it in. For now I have placed it under GW, but thats not correct. I only get 53 snmp oid out of the box. But it is importen to get support for this box. Many of the University Colleges use this box, and as I see it maybe machine-tracking is the most importen thing. The Cisco Wireless Lan Controller 440x has itself a well developed system for machine-tracking, but it would be nice to have all the machine-tracking in one place/system. Peder

I agree on its importance. We have 4 of the WiSM controllers (which are just 440x controllers on a blade), and they run our entire enterprise wireless LAN. On 4/10/07, Peder Magne Sefland <peder.sefland@hivolda.no> wrote:

This is NAV's somewhat cryptic way of telling you that the remote SNMP agent doesn't know the OID. (The code was recently changed to give a more friendly error message in this case, and it will be in place for NAV 3.3). The OID in this case is sysObjectID.0; if your Cisco Wireless Lan Controller 440x reports a noSuchName error for this OID, then I'd say something is seriously wrong with your controller. NTNU reports that they have added a Cisco WLAN controller to their NAV with no problems, so I'm not sure what causes your problem. As to your question of "any support for" the Cisco WLAN Controller 440x, the answer is yes. I.e., it is an IP device, and can be status monitored by NAV. The box should support SNMP (although something about that seems broken in your case), so you will be able to retrieve some basic SNMP data from it. But that is all. When it comes to actually retrieving info about the slaves controlled by the box, NAV has no idea. We are working on better support for autonomous Cisco WLAN AP's this year, in fact Andreas Knudsen from the University College of ?stfold is coming up here next week to work on this support. Unfortunately, we have no current plans of supporting the special case of a Cisco WLAN Controller, as we currently haven't enough resources to work on it. We are aware, though, that they are growing more popular and should be supported, but we have no idea yet how they can best be supported by NAV, and not sure how the controller/slave concept maps into NAV's existing data model. Whoever is going to work out some support for this box, must have access to one and the proper Cisco documentation for it. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

When I do a snmpwalk I get the following result: snmpwalk -v2c -On lan-controllers ip -c community system .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: Cisco Controller .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 = OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.1.1.4.3 Without the -On option: snmpwalk -v2c lan-controllers ip -c community system SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14179.1.1.4.3 So it seems to me that NAV is the problem not the controller. - odd arne hauge
