Help monitoring RSSI and SNR for wireless SUs

Post by superdust »

Hi

I need help monitoring RSSI and SNR for some Alvarion wireless gear.

The problem is that there is no unique OID for each SU (subscriber unit/station) connected to the BU (base unit/access point).
Instead a community string containing the SUs MAC address is sent in the request.

See Wireshark screenshot capture from traffic generated by the Alvarion management program.

How can I get this to work in Cacti?

1) script the install of each device with the custom public SNMP field.
2) write plugin to let Cacti use 1 device and then logic to change the public SNMP field based off a list of client MAC (hopefully queryable via SNMP from the BU).
