Support for Wireless LAN
IP supports discovery and
monitoring a wireless LAN. As part of wireless LAN discovery and monitoring,
IP discovers Wireless Controllers, WirelessAccessPoints, Wireless
Clients and Authentication server. An authentication server provides
authentication service for different network elements such as Wireless
Clients.
The provides more information on
topology classes and root-case analysis scenarios for Wireless LAN.
The Wireless certification is currently supported for two vendors,
namely Cisco and Aruba. The certification of the two vendors can be
found in the following conf files:
- oid2Type_Cisco.conf in <BASEDIR>\IP\smarts\conf\discovery
- oid2Type_Aruba.conf in <BASEDIR>\IP\smarts\conf\discoveryIP server does not generate any alert if the status of the authentication server is UNKNOWN. So, if the WirelessController is Down, the related authentication server status is UNKNOWN. Therefore, to get the proper status of the authentication server, rediscover any other running WirelessContoller that is serviced by the same authentication server.
