CISCO WIRELESS CONTROLLER 5500 POWER SUPPLY STATUS POLLERS ~
CISCOWIRELESS5500-POWERSUPPLY.UNDP

***New upload has readable values.  True/False for Power Supply presence, and
Up/Down/Unknown for operational status***

These are Universal Device Pollers - import these into your UnDP on the Server;
do not import via the new poller web interface.   - you can find a hardware
health for the Wireless controllers that includes the OS Version details(and
still under construction) under the new Pollers



So after many attempts to find Power Supply Pollers I was able to find the
needed details to slap these together.



This will work for 5508's Which I am running several of at the moment. Currently
no Hardware Health is captured, and anything in the Entity, or Module tables are
the associated AP's

This may work on earlier Wireless Controllers - I am not sure how far after the
5500's this will work. But test and reply so we know!



wireless LAN controllers were developed by Airespace and prior to their
acquisition by Cisco in 2005, they had already created their own SNMP MIBs (the
OIDs start .1.3.6.1.4.1.14179).  Since the acquisition, several former Airespace
objects have been obsoleted and replaced by CISCO-LWAPP-* or other Cisco
objects, yet some former Airespace objects remain in use, depending on the
software train in use on the wireless LAN controller.

Try walking agentSwitchInfo (.1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.1.1.3)





AIRESPACE-SWITCHING-MIB::agentSwitchInfoPowerSupply1Present.0 = INTEGER: false(0)          = OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.1.1.3.2.0

AIRESPACE-SWITCHING-MIB::agentSwitchInfoPowerSupply1Operational.0 = INTEGER: false(0)      = OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.1.1.3.3.0

AIRESPACE-SWITCHING-MIB::agentSwitchInfoPowerSupply2Present.0 = INTEGER: false(0)          = OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.1.1.3.4.0

AIRESPACE-SWITCHING-MIB::agentSwitchInfoPowerSupply2Operational.0 = INTEGER: false(0)      = OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.1.1.3.5.0



Status of 1 means it is either Present or Operational... value of Zero would be
the false, or failed/missing trigger.  You can setup your alerts with a Custom
Poller Value <> 1  to be safe.

  *disclaimer* I have not sought out and know all the possible values - it
appears to follow a True (1) False (0) logic with the status



The attached DL has all 4 PS Pollers ONLY - NO TRANSPORT MODE - with the names
simplified and underscores in place to display the Present Value above the
Operational Value.

   Tested and works with previous versions of Orion if you are using the UnDP
   App from the server.....   My initial test on these from the Web Pollers
   failed - I will post adjustments or a working option…
 * fasteddye over 5 years ago +1
   This is working great for the active WLC in an HA setup but I am wondering if
   you are aware of how to monitor power supply status for the standby WLC.
   Thanks. -Ed
