Tranzeo CPQ wireless signal

[sloop]

I made this graph template to show the receive signal strength and noise floor of a tranzeo CPQ radio.

exported from cacti 0.8.6j

set the tranzeo unit to 32-bit counters (administrative settings in web interface)

The standard ucd/net templates in cacti work fine for graphing the 802.11 interface
Interface: errors/discards
Interface: traffic (bits/sec)
Interface: unicast packets/sec

Hi can you explain how you setup this in cacti please.

Will this work with TR5a series radios in pxp mode?

thanks

Hi can you explain how you setup this in cacti please.

What are you having trouble with? Do you have a working cacti installation? You need that first, and then import my template. You will need to setup your Tranzeo radio as a "ucd-net snmp host" first and then add this graph to it.

I dont know, I dont have any of those radios. How about you try it out and let us know?

Ok working now, was finally able to properly "import" (not copy and paste) an xml file. Will report back later on all the Tranzeo's that I have used on.

Thanks again.

Getting NAN from this.

I imported the graph - ok
Created the device
Create from template cpq - wireless signal
I add the graph to a tree...

Comes up NAN.

Did you confirm snmp community string and that you can query the tranzeo device via snmp from your cacti host?

All of the following Tranzeo Radios work:
CPQ
SL2
TR900
TR902
TR5a
TR5a+
TR6000

I decided to give it a go since I've had some success with many devices recently, and this still does not work on the latest version. This time instead of a CPQ I'm trying it on a TR6 p2p bridge. SNMP is enabled and the interfaces seem to graph fine.

Just not the template. I get the noise floor values but the signals are nan. I'm going to check the oid's in the xml to see if they are right.

Actually I take it back, it is working with the tr6. Great! I'll check out the tranzeo's next.

[lonecrow]

This works great on the one piece of equipment I have working. A TR6 I believe.

Now i'm trying it on another TR6 and I enabled ALL stats on those two bridges and I can graph the interfaces but not the signal.

I set it up exactly the same as my other graphs. But I get NAN. I can snmpwalk the device. Its set to 32bit counters every setting exactly like the other.

When I run the graph in debug mode this is what I get

OK

I have updated some of the graphs, and split them into 2 different sections, one for noise and one for signal. Also added some base lines to give a general good and bad level.
