Extreme Networks Access Points Monitoring

LogicMonitor’s monitoring package for Extreme Networks Access Points (APs) provides SNMP-based monitoring for devices running HiveOS or Extreme IQ Engine. It collects key performance metrics such as CPU and memory usage, client count, SSID activity, and radio-level statistics. The package consolidates telemetry across frequency bands and SSIDs, offering a unified view of AP performance. This enables you to monitor Extreme Networks APs efficiently and gain actionable insights into wireless network behavior. The package supports scalable and structured monitoring within the LogicMonitor platform.

Requirements for Monitoring Extreme Networks Access Points

Designed for Extreme Networks Access Points (APs) running HiveOS or the Extreme IQ Engine. To use this package, SNMP must be enabled and accessible on the target APs. 

The following Management Information Bases (MIB) must also be available:

• AH-SYSTEM-MIB—Provides essential system data, such as CPU and memory usage, firmware version, device uptime, and environmental readings like temperature.
• AH-INTERFACE-MIB—Delivers radio and interface-level metrics including client count, RSSI, transmit power, frame types, and throughput statistics.
• IF-MIB—Supplies 64-bit octet counters and MAC address mappings used for accurate traffic monitoring.

Because the available MIBs do not include explicit RF band telemetry, the module makes certain assumptions when classifying radios—such as treating a third radio as 6GHz where applicable.

Adding Resources into Monitoring

Add your Extreme Networks AP resources into monitoring. For more information on adding resources into monitoring, see Adding Resources.

Assigning Properties to Resources

The addCategory_ExtremeNetworks_AP PropertySource automatically assigns properties to resources that match the AppliesTo logic. 

Property	Description
system.categories	Set to ExtremeNetworksAP, enabling DataSources to apply through hasCategory("ExtremeNetworksAP").
auto.endpoint.serial_number	Serial number of the AP (from AH-SYSTEM-MIB).
auto.endpoint.model	Device model (For example, AP305C, AP410C).
auto.firmware_version	Firmware version (For example, HiveOS 10.x or IQ Engine build).
predef.externalResourceType	Set to Wireless for classification.

Migration from LogicModules

With the release of this suite, the following legacy LogicModules are now deprecated:

• Aerohive_Access_Point_Neighbors
• Aerohive_clients-
• Aerohive_snmp64_wifi_If-

If you are currently using these legacy modules, you can safely import the updated LogicModules included in this suite. The new modules use different internal identifiers, ensuring they do not overwrite or interfere with existing configurations or historical data.

Disabling stops data collection and alerting but preserves historical data. Deleting a module permanently removes its historical data. For more information, see Disabling Monitoring for a New Instance. 

Import LogicModules

From the LogicMonitor Exchange, import all Cisco Meraki LogicModules from the package. For more information, see LogicModules in Package. If these LogicModules are already installed, ensure you have the latest versions.

Troubleshooting

If data is missing or unexpected behavior occurs during monitoring, review the following common issues and limitations that may affect data collection or module application.

• Band Classification Assumption—Some Extreme Networks AP models support tri-radio configurations (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz), but due to channel overlap and lack of RF telemetry, the module assumes the third radio (`wifi2`) operates in the 6 GHz band. This may result in misclassification for flexible radio configurations.
• SNMP Access Required—Direct SNMP access to APs is required. In controller-managed environments (for example, ExtremeCloud IQ), SNMP may be disabled or unavailable at the AP level.
• Not for Controller-Only Deployments—The package does not support environments where AP data is available only through REST APIs or cloud interfaces.
• Device Scope—Modules apply only to devices with system.sysinfo containing “HiveOS” or “IQ Engine,” or a matching sysoid (1.3.6.1.4.1.26928.1). Devices outside this scope are not classified or monitored.
