It is best practice to discover using credentials for WLAN controllers. WhatsUp Gold network discovery uses these credentials to gather detailed information about WLAN access points.
You can create a regular scanning interval to detect and update active end-stations connected to your access points using the Schedule tab in the IP Address Scan wizard.
Note: In your discovery scan you must elect to Expand Scan to Include Wireless Environments. (This will enable discovery to include WLAN access points distributed over different subnets).
Your ability to manage wireless infrastructure devices is determined by your user rights. To view data on this dashboard, you must have the Access Wireless user right enabled. For the ability to actively manage wireless infrastructure devices as well as include, exclude, or manage rogues, the Configure Wireless option must be selected as well.
