SSID in wlan service name

General
1

Hey all,

Running 1.5.0p21 Raw

Is it possible to get the SSID for a wireless lan in either the service name or status detail?

We have set the Network Interface and Switch Port Discovery rule to show description as this shows Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/5 etc for the service name for physical interfaces, but for wireless lans we get:

  • Interface wlan1
  • Interface wlan2 etc

Using alias just shows

  • Interface 1
  • Interface 2

Anyone know how to do this?

thanks

I think what you want is only possible if you can configure manually a description on the wireless interfaces. The problem is that the interface don’t know what SSID’s it hosts. This is from the SNMP data the system gets for the interface check. It can be one SSID or many.

One possible solution would be a special check for such wireless interfaces but i think that is too much work for only an edge use case.

But what you can do is using an HW/SW inventory plugin for your WLAN controller or access point. Like this one https://thl-cmk.hopto.org/gitlab/checkmk/cisco/wlc/inv_cisco_wlc_aps_lwap
It is not collecting the SSID’s on the APs but nearly all other data. You can use this as an example what can be done with the inventory to also get the information you want.

Thanks Andreas, we’re using Ruckus VSZ, I’ll investigate and see what I can figure out.
