Can You Monitor Ruckus Access Points Using SNMP?

[Fazza]

I've configured our ZoneDirector 1200 with our SNMP settings and have added that to SpiceWorks Network Monitor OK. What I cant do however, is find a way of configuring SNMP on individual access points. I cant browse to an AP via its IP address as we're using ZD to configure them and I cant see any SNMP settings for the actual APs - am I looking in the wrong place or is it not possible to do what I want to do?

You can view the IP addresses of the AP’s through the controller and then use the relevant SNMP queries? I tried this a few years ago and pretty sure it worked. I think the SNMP checks you can do are referenced in the user guide or some other Ruckus documentation.

 

It may have changed however.

I use NPM and I have the zone director setup in it with snmp. It pulls in all the APs and gives me their status.

I get connected clients with signal strength etc.

 

If spice works doesn't do this for you, you may try downloading the mib package from support.

Does spice works let you configure custom pollers / query OID values?

SpiceWorks only uses SNMP.

 

The access points are managed centrally which means I cannot connect to them via an Internet browser as you get a "this site can't be reached" message which is correct as when they are centrally managed it disables local access to the APs.

 

If I get a new AP of a box that isnt centrally managed and connect to it via a web browser it has SNMP settings for the AP.

 

On the ZoneDirector 1200 I can only find one setting for SNMP and when I edit the settings of individual APs SNMP is not listed.

Its not an easily read format to human eyes, but do a snmpwalk on the ZD

I ran this against my ZD and it returned address of connected clients, and connected APs. How spiceworks makes sense of that data is a different story.

 

I also have a ZD3000, so that may play a difference.

 

I also noticed a tick box in my ZD that is not set, but looks like it may help.

Inherit SNMPv2 for APs
