WLSE manage AP using SNMP through xDSL line with an NAT router

[ccsam]

Hi,

This is the deployment architecture that I had :

WLSE (Internet public add)--->xDSL----->NAT router---->BBSM--->APs

I had a problem in managing the APs which the ip address will be translated to a public ip addresses. When I use discovery options from my WLSE, it does not find any AP. I enable the CDP on my router and APs. There is only 1 ssid on all my APs.

Is it possible to manage the APs using snmp using this model?

regards,

Sam

Since you have NAT in between the WLSE and the APs, this will not work. SNMP does not work over NAT. To test this, try using the SNMP Reachable Tool under Administration->Connectivity Tools. enter the ip address and click on SNMP Reachable, you'll see that it will time out.
