Aruba Networks Wireless LAN

What is Discovered and Monitored

FortiSIEM uses SNMP and NMAP to discover the device and to collect logs and performance metrics. FortiSIEM communicates to the WLAN Controller only and discovers all information from the Controller. FortiSIEM does not communicate to the WLAN Access points directly.

Protocol

Information Discovered

Metrics collected

Used for

SNMP
