client association syslog message with 5500 wlc

[szaboandraslnx]

Hi!

It is a Customer requirement to send 802.11 client association/disassociation logs to the Syslog server in a Unified Wireless system. (AIR-CT5508 + LAP1142)

With Autonomous APs it was easy; just send the following messages with the correct severity level:

*Mar  1 00:31:35.220: %DOT11-6-ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Station   xxxx.xxed.5c2c Associated KEY_MGMT[WPAv2 PSK]

*Mar  1 00:31:55.861: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station xxxx.xxed.5c2c Reason: Sending station has left the BSS

Unfortunately I didn't find such logs even in Msg Log with the severity level set to debugging.

I was able to do client assoc/disassoc logging with SNMP trap + trap receiver software, BUT is there any way to do this with Syslog?

Thanks,

Andras

Anras:

Those info (like you mentioned) are sent to the SNMP trap receiver, not to Syslog. (you can choose what traps to send and you can select 802.11 association)

However, i don't know if changing the facility level to "Syslog" in WLC's logging config will change anything ( i don't think it will do anything but you can try it).
