Pity too it wont report to Ciscoworks. I have done some initial testing with Statseeker and icmp - I intend to import 600 aps to it in a few weeks - I will let you all know how it goes.

The issue is that we want to see the APs in NMS with their names associated to an IP and a MAC address.
If your NMS supports ICMP you can just have it ping the APs. That way the NMS will get basic up/down info for them. Beyond that you'll need to do as Mike suggested and have your NMS and controllers talk via SNMP. The controllers have a fairly rich MIB; I believe everything the WCS knows is obtained via SNMP from the controllers. Of course programming your NMS to obtain all of this info is essentially recreating the WCS product. It's a shame the WCS can't generate some higher level traps from the info obtains from the controllers. -Karl ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
