I've never worked with WLSE, but you should be able to load your
standard device MIBs into WLSE, load the mib(s) for WLSE into Netview (I
believe WLSE can forward snmp to a destination for monitoring, and WDS
talks to WLSE). When you say "read the trapd.log", it makes me think you
want to further integrate upstream with Netview. You can use addtrap to
add the trap defs from WLSE and take the trap further, or integrate with
TEC from there. HTH

As part of a wireless pilot project we have installed 50 access points
(Cisco aironet 1231G) in a couple of buildings. The real project once
approved could scale to over a 1000 units. We are also trying a Cisco
WDS1030 with the WLSE management tool. The WLSE seems to be a good
configuration and troubleshooting tool. To keep things simple for our
computer center operators we would like to send the traps we configure
in WLSE to our Netview server as snmptraps to be displayed as alarms.
Sending the traps is simple, but which would be the right procedure to
correlate these traps in Netview??? I don’t want to just read the
trapd.log and react on the information there, instead I would like to
have more flexibility by using the correlation facilities from Netview
which is the way we are alarming on snmptraps send by different type
of devices with network connectivity (ups, environmental units,
sensors, switches, servers, routers, etc)
I like the centralized approach of using WDS devices to monitor
several access points at once and send snmptraps from just a device
instead of 50 access points.
In summary I would like to know:
Which snmp mibs/traps need to be loaded in Netview to process the
traps sent by the WDS unit???
Once I load the traps, I guess I can correlate based on the trap ID
the same way I’m correlating other traps.
If there is no a particular mib/trap ID for the traps sent by the WDS,
How can I then correlate them once the reach the Netview server????
If someone is doing something similar, please send me a note.
Thanks for any information.
