I have MT’s setup as backhauls all over the place. When I snmpwalk them each link will have a slightly different OID for graphing rf levels. I don’t see a universal one. Is there a way to over come this? I have to create a probe for every link and if a MT gets swapped out I have to rebuild the snmp each time. It would be nice if I could use 1 probe for all. Is this possible?
Here’s what I’ve been using. The numbers at the end always change. Can a wild card be used?
The reason is that there are separate levels per MAC address. The varying numbers are the MAC address of your peer.
On a point-to-point link it is useless, but on an AP with 2 or more clients you need this in order to plot your clients independently.
When you use snmpwalk, just omit those final digits and it will return the (varying) OID automatically.
Ah you are talking about snmpwalk from Dude. I don’t have experience with that, I use it as a generic Linux command.
I leave it to others to comment about Dude.
Solectek bridges have kind of the same trouble where the OID is actually something different on each link even though they use the same hardware something is tacked onto the end of the RSSI OID.
For example the actual oid is 1.3.6.1.4.1.2890.7.6.2.1.5.6.0.128.72.116.21.168 on one bridge, Since it is the only OID in the column it works for every radio even though everything past 6.0 is unique…
This is the function that I use for solectek radios.
if(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.4.1.2890.7.6.2.1.5.6”, 10 ,5),oid_column(“1.3.6.1.4.1.2890.7.6.2.1.5.6”, 10 ,5),“False”)
Lebowski! I wanna give you a hug! This works. I never knew about columns. I’ve been creating separate probes for links for years. You are a life saver! Wanna go bowling some time? lol For the future somebody that finds this, heres what it looks like after you put it into a dude probe.
