Number of clients accessing Trapeze WiFI AP:s

Post by niqslask »

Greetings, this is my first posting in this forum and my english may be a bit rusty. I've searched the web for a solution to a problem i have but have failed miserably :(

I'm trying to graph the number of clients that are accessing an AP connected to a Trapeze MX-200. I've failed to locate a MIB for this equipment. But I have located the SNMP OID needed to access the data but the OID is partly generated based on something unique in the AP which partly are the same for many AP:s.

.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.16.10.48.54.55.50.55.48.49.54.52.55
.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.16.10.48.54.55.50.55.48.49.54.57.56
.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.16.10.48.54.55.52.56.48.48.49.50.48

Looking at the OID:s for three AP:s one sees a first part containing the OID that describes that we are looking at number of AP:s. In the above case .1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.16. Next is a sequence of numbers that I think describes the AP in questioning, for instance .10.48.54.55.50.55.48.49.54.52.55. From this we get a GAUGE32 value that display the number of clients connected to the AP. I've verified this to be correct.

If i try to create a template that walks through an creates an index based on this I get as an example the following response when I debug the Data Query for the device:

+ Executing SNMP walk for data @ '.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.19'
+ Found item [ifIndex='6'] index: 55 [from value]
+ Found item [ifIndex='8'] index: 56 [from value]
+ Found item [ifIndex='5'] index: 48 [from value]

I think the index are built around the last value in the OID which seem to be ten numbers between 48 and 57. There are 20 AP:s which means that the index will be filled with a number more then once.

Sorry for the long text but how do i create in a SNMP-template an index that are the numbers 1 to 20? Can I create and define the value of the index myself? In the template below you can see that there is a OID-value that displays the number of AP's that are connected to the Trapeze MX-200. .1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.1.0

I post the XML-template below:

<interface>
<name>Get SNMP Interfaces</name>
<description>Queries a host for a list of monitorable

interfaces</description>
<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.19</oid_index>
<oid_num_indexes>.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.1.0</oid_num_indexes>

<index_order_type>alphabetic</index_order_type>
<fields>
<ifIndex>
<name>Index</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.19</oid>
</ifIndex>
<ifName>
<name>Name</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.8</oid>
</ifName>
<apClients>
<name>AP attached clients</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.14525.4.5.1.1.2.1.16</oid>
</apClients>
</fields>
</interface>

I would really like som help solving this issue...

Thanx in advance!!

Hi,
I am dealing with some 3Com WX in Cacti. I see there isn't any "<direction>output</direction>" in your termplate, and that is wrong.
bye.
