Discovery of Wireless Access Controller - CI Classes

[David77]

When we run Discovery Patterns against our Wireless Access Controllers and Access Points, is is accurate to say that the following CI Classes will be used:

---device ------------- : --- CI Class used --------

Wireless Controllers: IP Routers

Wireless Access Points: Wireless Access Point

Secondly, how does Discovery of WAP work, generally?  Does it go to the Controller, and then collect the information about all Access Points connected to it, or does Discovery have to physically be able to reach out to all the Controllers *AND* each Access Point?

Thanks!!

This is a good place to start to understanding how we go about discovering wireless access points...Ultimately its done from the switches view where we query the bsnAPT table through the Cisco WAPs library extension.

Hi Doug,

One of our client do not want Wireless controllers to be placed onIP Routers table.They want them to be placed on a custom table created for Wireless controllers. How can we achieve this requirement?

We tried creating classification record to place records on this custom table. What approach should we follow?
