LAP dynamic DNS record

[Vincent Douhet]

Hi,

I'm facing some issues to populate dynamically DNS record of APs. The IPs addressing of APs are configured via DHCP servers (MS). The DHCP server is not configured to register automatically record against DNS (MS on the same server); as said by system administrator. The problem is that some APs record are populated on the DNS and some not (even in the same subnet).

So the question is : Does LAP supports DDNS or the record needs to be done by the DHCP ?

Thanks a lot

What is the importance of register AP names in DNS ?

In order to add these on NAGIOS engine which is used by our Helpdesk. We don't want giving them an access on another portal (Prime) for simplicity.  There is all IT stuff on this NAGIOS portal.

Thanks.

Does it simply check AP reachability or will that collect information via SNMP from AP directly.

If SNMP, this will simply duplicate monitoring (as you already doing it via PI) & could impact the AP performance.

I would simply give "read-only" view to Prime & briefing them what/how to look something on Prime.

Not sure how many AP you got, we have close to 2K & I do not want to administer anything like what you are going to do.

Thanks Rasika.

Yes it is just to check reachability via ICMP. 

The question is technical : Does LAP supports DDNS RFC2136 ? If they don't, I will review the proposal.
