The first two points are fairly easy; you
need to define the OID_TO_TYPE and OID_TO_SYM entries for 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.525.
You can pretty well copy other Cisco entries as models. Some of this is
covered in the Diagnosis Guide. It involves defining new symbols for the
new device type. You will also find discussion of the topic of adding
device types in the mailing list archives.
MIBS are generally available from the manufacturers.
For the Aironet MIBS you can start at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/airo1200/accsspts/b1228ja/b1228icg/bicgmib.htm. Be sure you install
the SNMP V1 versions of the MIBS.
Once you have the definitions for NetView correct you should
be able to use SNMP Data Collection or the MIB Browser to look at the data on
the devices. At that point you should be able to see anything Cisco has
to tell you about the device.

Access Points
Thank you all..
We do have CiscoWorks,
WLSE and Netview monitoring. Since the Operators primarily use Netview, I am
trying to see how they can be alerted when the radio side goes down..Netview
only displays the BVI interface and not the dot11 side -- which I think is the
main issue. I would expect that when I double click on the AP that I would see
both interfaces but I only see BVI.
Below is the objection
information on one AP:
1) the AP has a generic
icon( isComputer=True). How do I change it to be bridge?
2) why is the SnmpAGent =
Unset How do I change that ? or does it matter ?
3) Interface -- it only
list the BVI
4) Does anyone have the
mibs for the APs? Aironet 1200s ?

I have spoken to both Cisco and Tivoli and opened tickets with both on
this same subject in the past year.
What
we found out with some pain points.
We
implemented a sort of mid level solution. WLSE is a Cisco Appliance for
Wireless LAN Solution Engine providing the some of the following features;
ap
availability
radio
thresholds
eap
wep
leap
and other
security features all the way to the client. Also bridges, rogue ap (
just in case some yahoo plugs in a fry's linksys on the corp network ) and some
other cool configuration features.
This
was by no means easy for me as a newbe NetView/Tivoli Administrator. But
with 3rd level support from Netview they were able to help me see this to light
and we now have the wlse talking all the way to TEC and the 7x24 staff.
If you
would like more information on this, and how we use I would be glad to share.

Hello List,
I cant find the answer in archive so I am not sure if
anyone has encountered this.
Can Netview monitor the radio side of an access point?
In particular AIX 5.2 Netview 7.1.4 Cisco 1210 Access Points.
We are monitoring BVI side but we also need to know if
the radio goes does. Any ideas?
Is this a Cisco TAC or Tivoli Tech question? I haven't open a
ticket with either one just wanting to know
Thanks, Catalina
