[afnog] MONITORING WIRELESS APs AND USERS

[Maureen Wanja Njue]

Dear Ali,

I could suggest use of cacti to monitor your wireless.There are a number of cacti templates for different devices. I do have a similar setup as yours at the Universities.Am able to monitor details like the number of users connected to each SSID and the number of users associated to each access points.

See attached screenshots.


Kind Regards,

Subject: [afnog] MONITORING WIRELESS APs AND USERS

Hello everyone,

In our organization here, we have quiet a number of Cisco APs that give wireless service to users with hand-held devices and laptops and we have about 3 buildings which of course all have the cisco APs installed. So those APs are all hooked up to a cisco wireless controller in which we manage the APs from a GUI. My question is, is it possible to monitor people that are connected to the wireless using the cisco wireless controller...maybe if there is any config to do to monitor anyone connected to the APs for effective monitoring? if yes how should it be then and if no then are there any ideas or suggestions on what to do to monitor them?.

Thank You
