After few follow-ups he provided me a candidate release 10.1.2 version of this product which is perfectly work with this Cisco WLC. He was kind enough to go through my test set up & see why it is not working. So I was able to get hold of a guy called “Jim Dougherty” who wrote the below blog post about Scrutinizer’s capability of getting Cisco WLC netflow export. But these guys are offering technical assistance during this 30 days tria period as well. I saw WLC successfully added via SNMP, but no real traffic reports from wireless controller. Again it did not work well initially with Cisco WLC. I think I downloaded 10.1.1 of their netflow analysis tool called Scrutinizer. Since Cisco confirmed Plixer Scrutinizer supporting WLC netflow in the above FAQ page, I have downloaded the 30-days trial version to check this out.
Solarwinds need to either customized their product to suit this WLC’s flow export or Cisco has to modify flow format (looks very unlikely). So as it is cisco WLC netflow does not work with current solarwinds tool (even though cisco claim it). It does not include any of the below fields which standard netflow v9.0 monitoring tool expect in their flows.įollowing are the unique field included in Cisco WLC flow packet. You can see WLC netflow packet format is quiet different what Solarwinds Netflow Analyzer expects. When we look at the Cisco WLC netflow export field information in the FAQ section, found below clarifying WLC netflow packet format. Once we logged with support case with Solarwinds below answer was given.įlow packets will be ignored by Orion NTA if they do not include the following fields in your Flow template: When I configure WLC to export netflow traffic to Solarwinds NTA, it could not able to decode flow exports getting from cisco WLC. I wanted to verify this & did some testing with WLC 7.4 & netflow exports.įirst with SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer version 3.10.0 which is the version we have in our production environment. Here is the screenshot of that (32nd min at given webex below).Īpplication Visibility & Control with Cisco Wireless – By Jeevan Patil
While I was watching CiscoLive 2013 – London (via Ciscolive365) presentation about Application Visibility & Control on Cisco WLC, noticed few vendors’ netflow tools listed as supported 3rd party netflow collectors.
