WAP Radio

The WAP Radio monitor uses SNMP authentication to determine the status of a Cisco Aironet wireless access point.

First, the monitor first checks the ifType (OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3) value. The ifType value of 71 - IEEE 80211 must be present for the monitor to continue checking the WAP radio device status. Then, if the ifType value is true, the ifAdminStatus (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7) value is checked. If the ifAdminStatus value for the interface is in the Down or Testing state, the active monitor is considered Down and the ifOperStatus (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8) value is checked. If the ifOperStatus value is 1 - Up or 5 - Dormant, the WAP radio is determined to be in the Up state. Otherwise, the device is considered to be in the Down state.

Only a unique name and description are required to successfully configure this monitor, though you can click Advanced to set the SNMP timeout and number of retries as well as enable Use in Rescan if desired.
