Polling Active Clients via SNMP.

simon_elliott_6 — Fri, 21 Feb 2014 14:39:31 GMT

I have a ZD1150 and 23x 7372 APs which im trying to poll active clients via SNMP from.
i can poll the ZoneDirector OK with the following statement

snmpget -v 2c -c public 10.0.0.8 RUCKUS-ZD-SYSTEM-MIB::ruckusZDSystemStatsNumSta.0
this returns the correct value.
RUCKUS-ZD-SYSTEM-MIB::ruckusZDSystemStatsNumSta.0 = Gauge32: 58

but if i try to poll an AP i get an error
snmpget -v 2c -c public 10.0.0.22 RUCKUS-ZD-SYSTEM-MIB::ruckusZDSystemStatsNumSta.0
RUCKUS-ZD-SYSTEM-MIB::ruckusZDSystemStatsNumSta.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID

Right - you can't use ZoneDirector MIBs on the AP's - apples and oranges...

You might want to look at ruckusWLANStatsNumSta or similar in the AP SNMP Reference Guide : https://support.ruckuswireless.com/do...

Thats helpful, except i don't see the corresponding - or equivalent check.

I am after the number of currently authorised clients.

i can get stats of recently connected and dropped. but I dont see the correct one for me (needle in a haystack)

can you point me closer to the direction i need?

I see you're working with Support now on this issue. Please do share the result when you have it.

Well your guys have come back with one solution. which works, but its also incredibly ugly in practicality terms.

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 10.1.7.2 RUCKUS-ZD-WLAN-MIB::ruckusZDWLANAPNumSta

will return

performing snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 10.1.7.2 RUCKUS-ZD-WLAN-MIB::ruckusZDWLANAPNumSta.X
doesnt work so im forced to use OID numbers, which works but performs highly human unreadable results.

Adding these into a script s very unwieldy so although it does provide the data i need, it returns it in a poor format for usability.

I don't want to sound ungrateful. It is helpful to me. But as i've responded to support, polling the AP's directly makes it much easier to work with the data.

I'll convert the thread to an Idea so it gets on our product manager's radar.
