SNMP Configuration on Cisco Aironet 1130ag

I am using Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor and I'm trying to get my AP's added but they don't show up.
I see that snmp server on the AP's is enabled for under the BVI1 Interface. I don't have an IP address associated with that interface.
I tried moving it to a different interface that has an IP address but it just keeps defaulting to that BVI interface.
Is it possible to enable SNMP on a different interface?

The error I get on the GUI of the AP is "Can't open UDP Socket"

All traffic on Aironet APs is sourced from the BVI interface if they run IOS software.  BVI1 is the default interface.  If it has no IP your config is probably bad.

Can you post the config?

Hi,

The APs are autonom or managed by a network controller?

If there are autonome, you need to check your BVI interface IP configuration.

Else if you are using Light AP which will be managed by controller, you need only to integrate the controller to Solarwinds and then you will manage all the APs managed by the controller

Please advice on you AP type and Solarwinds NPM version

Regards.

Attached is the config. .24 is for internal AD users authenticated through Radius and .25 is for guest access.

I do not use a controller to manage all AP's and NPM Version is 11.5

I uploaded the new config with IP on the BVI internface and now I can't connect to it or ping it. This is what originally what happened which is the reason that interface wasn't being used. Any thoughts?

Can you see the AP on the switch if you do show cdp neighbor interface fastethernet0/1 detail (substitute fastethernet0/1 with the real interface obviously)

ASKER
Yes I can see it from the switch.

One sec, I'm an idiot. Forgot to change the IP address for my test AP.
Let me re-test and I'll get back to you.
