   2. Re: Aruba Instant AP Serial Number Help (Mackie, Paul)
--- Begin Message ---
 I just tried a new aruba-instant.my and guess what - I now have a few serial 
numbers on the inventory page. They are displaying in the following format: 

HASH(0x000000000000) VNQ0000000 
[the example ^ has obfuscated information]
The few that now have serial number information turn out to be the IAP devices 
elected as the virtual controller for each of our Aruba Central groups.
Can anyone offer a configuration (either Aruba or Netdisco) for the individual 
Aruba AP315, AP365, AP375, AP567, AP615 and AP635 models to respond with their 
own serial numbers?

 I have the same problem and can't get it sorted. Have hundreds of various 
models of Aruba IAP across campus. When I SNMPwalk them from the cli, serial 
reports as undef. 
When I try netdisco-do show -d <IP> -e AI-AP-MIB::aiAPSerialNum it too returns 
undef.
I *believe* I modified the Aruba.pm correctly but have the same results.

Vertiv / Liebert UPS, HP switches and some of my Unifi Nanobeam bridges - 
Netdisco discovered those with no problem at all. 

I have read the earlier posts about this issue and just not making any headway. 
Understand I am only days into a Netdisco install so I have much to learn. Was 
there a resolution and I am overlooking something simple?
Thanks

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but I gave up to some extent and 
went for the custom field like shown below.  This works for all our IAP's 
whether virtual controllers or members.

host_groups:
  aruba_access_points:
    - 'os:airos'

host_group_displaynames:
  aruba_access_points: 'Aruba APs'

custom_fields:
  device:
    - name: 'arubaserial'
      label: 'Aruba AP Serial'
      snmp_object: 'AI-AP-MIB::aiAPSerialNum'
      only: 'group:aruba_access_points'

Would be great if we could also pull all the AP info such as SSID and connected 
clients etc on Instant AP's just like we can with real controllers. It is 
exposed by SNMP but Netdisco doesn't see it. That's not related to your issue 
though.

Best regards,
