Lose SNMP Settings on AP reboot

[jonathan.ward88]

Hi All,

I have 2x 2500 Series WLCs and 27 APs, at a variety of different models (mainly 2702I's)

I have enabled SNMP on the APs so as to monitor using WhatsUpGold, however when an AP goes down e.g. unplugged during testing, and then comes back up it loses the SNMP config I have set, so as far as the monitoring tool is concerned the AP is still down, until I login via SSH and re-enter the SNMP config.

I have tried a write and a copy run start on the APs but these appear to do nothing, at a guess it's to do with the WLCs providing the core config, but I can't find a way in the interface of forcing the SNMP globally for the APs.

Am I missing something, or is this expected behaviour?

current versions:

Controller Summary

Management IP Address 10.25.192.133 , ::/128 Software Version 8.0.110.0 Field Recovery Image Version

AP Versions Versions

Thanks in advance for any help

Nothing can be saved on the APs.  This is the foundation of controller-based AP. 

If you want to pull data from the AP the do an SNMP Get/Walk on the controllers.  That's how we've done ours.
