does anybody have an example script of monitoring APs registered to a Cisco wireless controller (440

Votes:

0

We are trying to monitor the amount of APs registered agains the controller at any given time. Unfortunatly the controller does not provide this as a value directlly via SNMP. Instead it seems like users with other graphing software have used perl scripts to poll the controller for the MAC of each registered AP and then counted the total number of MAC addresses listed (divided by two as each of the APs two radio interefaces respond seperatly). I am trying to use a VB script achive this, but to no avail. I am also hoping on using this feature both in PRTG7 as well as in IPCheck5 as we still use both applications.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for an example script on doing somthing like this or possibly have their own script they wouldn't mind sharing? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Here is my script, as I mentioned above every time I try to use it the program comes back saying "Script is empty".

Any ideas?
