EWC Check WASSP / CAPWAP Tunnel Status ?

[M_Nees]

Hi,

is there a way to check the CAPWAP Tunnel Status of all connected APs ?

Currently i do only know the AP Availability Report which show the tunnel status with green / brown color.

But i fear that if the AP looses the Tunnel for a short period of time or Tunnel is flapping - the report is to slow to show that. Also i need to know how long is the tunnel active! How many Tunnel up/downs are occuring.

It will be also interessting to see some counters regarding Tunnel status - like RX / TX Tunnel Probe packet (i hope they exists - i do not know exactly) or any other.

Any hints for me ?

We have a script, that greps the syslog file and counts the session poll disconnects (tunnel down) messages. Then we manually check APs that have more than 20 disconnects per day.

Oct 12 01:01:13 192.168.1.9 events: RU Session Manager Wireless AP session poll disconnect Wireless AP session timed out. (AP SN 12345678910 AP NAME xyz AP IP 192.168.15.115 timeout 45 secs (active tunnel)) 2

Oct 12 01:01:21 192.168.1.10 events: RU Session Manager Wireless AP session poll disconnect Wireless AP session timed out. (AP SN 12345678910 AP NAME xyz AP IP 192.168.15.115 timeout 60 secs (backup tunnel)) 2

Hello Joshua,

I've asked the responsible colleagues. They use syslog-ng and it's possible to define filters in syslog-ng and create specific actions when these filters apply.

We use the following filter and write into MySQL database:



filter f_wlan_session_poll {



message('session poll disconnect')



;};

Would you be willing to share the script? 
