Hello All
Please can I be advised if and how the IDP can provision and/or push config out to Access Points via a Wireless LAN Controller.
Many thanks once again.
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
For IDP, the most important point is being able to communicate with its target even if there is a controller or something else in the middle, so as long as you can reach and communicate with your access points directly or via the controller it should be no problem for IDP.
Regarding the specifics on how to do it, it will depend on the Access Points and Controller in question but the general flow for something like pushing a configuration is:
- Within DataMiner, either automatically or manually a configuration is selected to be pushed
- IDP checks which element and which configuration are needed and finds the correct custom script to be called
This custom script can be developed by any user such as yourself and its goal is to perform any commands needed for a specific product - Once the control is passed to the custom script it will have as input an element reference and a configuration file reference and can at this point perform the same commands an operator would do to perform those configurations manually
Hope this helps you, but if you need further assistance do not hesitate in reaching out.
Hi,
If you install the IDP package you will have a few example scripts for most of the custom things you may need to configure.
For your particular use case you should be able to base yourself on the script IDP_Example_Custom_ConfigurationDefault or on the IDP_Example_Custom_ConfigurationUpdate
For future reference, if you need other custom operations you can search for all script whose names start with IDP_Example_Custom_
Thanks a lot João
Hi João,
Thanks a lot for the response. Have you any more info regarding the custom scripts and how they are created and what format they need to be in.
Many thanks
Stuart
