Editing Location Appliance Polling Parameters
After adding a Cisco 2700 Series Location Appliance (location appliance) to the Cisco WCS database, you can modify the independent Client, Rogue Access Point, Asset Tag, and Statistics polling periods that the location appliance uses to poll its associated Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers. Note that this is independent of the number of times Cisco WCS users may request a data refresh from the location appliance.
Note: Before the location appliance can collect any data, it must be associated with one or more Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers as described in Assigning Controllers to Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers.
1.In the Cisco WCS interface, select LOCATE to display the All Location Appliances page.
2.Click the desired Server Name to have Cisco WCS display the Location Appliance > General Properties > <LocAppliance Name> page.
3.In the left navigation bar, click Polling Parameters to have Cisco WCS display the Location Appliance > Polling Parameters > <LocAppliance Name> page.
4.Set the following:
-Retry Count: Enter the number of times to retry a polling cycle between 1 and 99999, default = 3. The Retry Count generally does not need to be changed from the default.
-Timeout: Enter the number of seconds for a polling timeout between 1 and 99999, default = 5 seconds. The Timeout generally does not need to be changed from the default.
-Client Station Polling and Interval: Select the check box to turn Polling on, and enter the number of seconds between Client polling attempts between 1 and 99999, default = Polling disabled and a 300 second interval. You may want to leave Client Polling off, and you may want to change the Polling Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data collection, respectively.
Note that the Polling Interval is the period between the end of a preceding polling cycle and the beginning of the next polling cycle. That is, if the polling cycles take five minutes to complete, and the Polling Interval is ten minutes, the time between the start of polling cycles is fifteen minutes.
-Rogue AP Polling and Interval: Select the check box to turn Polling on, and enter the number of seconds between rogue access point polling attempts between 1 and 99999, default = disabled and a 600 second interval. You may want to leave rogue access point Polling off, and you may want to change the Polling Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data collection, respectively.
Note that the Polling Interval is the period between the end of a preceding polling cycle and the beginning of the next polling cycle. That is, if the polling cycles take five minutes to complete, and the Polling Interval is ten minutes, the time between the start of polling cycles is fifteen minutes.
-Asset Tag Polling and Interval: Select the check box to turn Polling on, and enter the number of seconds between Asset Tag polling attempts between 1 and 99999, default = disabled and a 600 second interval. You may want to leave Asset Tag Polling off, and you may want to change the Polling Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data collection, respectively.
Note that the Polling Interval is the period between the end of a preceding polling cycle and the beginning of the next polling cycle. That is, if the polling cycles take five minutes to complete, and the Polling Interval is ten minutes, the time between the start of polling cycles is fifteen minutes.
