 |
|
Here are a couple of new graph templates for Cisco wireless APs:
1) Cisco Dot11 Associated Clients - graphs the number of associated clients on an access point. Includes an HRULE to indicate your max-associations if you are limiting number of associations.
2) Cisco Dot11 Client Rate Distribution - using the scripts queries the AP for the offered rate of each client, and draws an area/stack graph. This is a very useful way to see how well your APs are placed, since the access rate is directly proportional to the strength and quality of the signal.
Since it is an area/stack graph, this, in a way, duplicates the associated clients graph.
---------
Requirements/Caveats:
- You must have TCL installed on your cacti server (TCL is a perl-like scripting language but easier to use  Linux users will have no problem with this, Windows users can download from ActiveState.
- Currently supports 802.11b/g rates (1Mbps - 54Mbps)
- Tested with Cisco 1210 and IOS 12.3, but should work on any Cisco AP running recent IOS.
- Tested on Cacti 0.87a/b only
Manually run the script first to see if TCL is working, then import the templates:
you@cacti# ./group_dot11_client_rate.tcl <host> <community> <version>
