How does Site24x7 monitor Cisco WLCs?
Our Cisco WLC monitoring tool uses SNMP to collect data from your network through an On-Premise Poller, which is easy to set up. You can specify an IP range or use classless inter-domain routing to discover devices in your network. You can even create discovery rules and device and interface filters to fine-tune the discovery process.
Once you've added the On-Premise Poller, it will start collecting data such as the traffic, CPU utilization, memory utilization, number of connected clients, and other performance information from your devices. The SSIDs in your network will be categorized and listed under the SSID(s) section (if authorized) or the Rogue Access Points section (if unauthorized). The access points are listed by Type and Channel in the Radios section, making it easy for you to manage your network.
Additionally, you can also set thresholds for the Access Points, Radios, Rogue Access Points, and SSID(s) as required and receive alerts on threshold breaches. With our Cisco WLC monitoring tool, you can breathe easy knowing that your network is organized, secure, and under control.
