SNMP configuration for EWC

Torken — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 20:15:30 GMT

Hello to all,

I want to monitor my EWC from an external monitoring server (Zabbix Server). I am used to working with SNMP. I would like to monitor information that I can find in the dashboard GUI menu.

The problem is I can't find any GUI menu to configure SNMP as this link :

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/catalyst-9800-series-wireless-controllers/214286-managing-catalyst-9800-wireless-controll.html

I also tried to find a command in CLI, but nothing interesting appear :

EWC#snmp ?
  get       generate an SNMP Get request
  get-bulk  generate an SNMP GetBulk request
  get-next  generate an SNMP GetNext request
  inform    generate an SNMP Inform request
  set       generate an SNMP Set request

EWC#snmp?
snmp

I don't find any information about monitoring an EWC on Internet (maybe I did wrong research)

AP : Cisco 9115AXI-E

Version : 16.12.4a

- In the CLI did you try snmp-server ? , I mean type the full word 'snmp-server' and check if you get command options when using '?'

Ok, I wasn't in configure mode... (I am not used to configuring WC, first time)

EWC(config)#snmp-server ?
  accounting           SNMP Accounting parameters
  cache                Enable SNMP cache
  chassis-id           String to uniquely identify this chassis
  community            Enable SNMP; set community string and access privs
  contact              Text for mib object sysContact
  context              Create/Delete a context apart from default
  drop                 Silently drop SNMP packets
  enable               Enable SNMP Traps
...

Why I can't find the GUI interface ? (i want to know only to complete my knowledge)

It's well possible that this hasn't yet been implemented on the GUI. Often the full feature set is only on CLI and a reduced one on the GUI.
