Hi all
Has anyone onboarded Arista WIFI yet, the models we have are managed centrally via CV-CUE the Wifi version of cloudvision, although you can extract some commands via SSH.
Had a quick look around and couldn’t find anything, I will in the meantime dig around about custom devices 😀
Thanks
We don’t yet collect and model Arista WIFI, but you still have a few choices for collecting data into the platform to include in NQE queries.
The first question for you is, ‘what information do you want to collect’?
The second question is, ‘where is this data? Is it in CUE or on the WIFI devices themselves?
Once we know this, we can guide you through the process of extracting the data.

You can create a custom CLI profile for SSHing to the wireless controllers. then run show commands to collect data that you can organize via NQE.
Just to update I did create a Endpoint profile and logged on to the AP’s themselves and added the following show commands, as my priority is to extract key data, for the purposes we have I will loop back to using CUE to see if this is better later,
The Profile is as shown below, I have no doubt I will tune this a little, but hopefully it helps others.
show ap neighbours ← This is one I am not 100% sure we need as yet, although it could detect channel issues.
show arp table
show country ← Validating country the AP’s are configured for will be useful to ensure compliance
show device info
show device status
show dual uplink status ← Although we are not using dual uplink one others may find useful, and us in new office build outs where we run two cables to the AP’s.
show ethernet all
show ethernet stats
show gateway ipmacs
show lldp neighbor info
show mode ← Again not one we are personally using but could be useful for others.
show neighbors adhoc ← Probably one to drop if can’t find use.
show neighbors assoc ← Probably one to drop if can’t find use.
show neighbors rf ← May have a use for RF clashes will experiment if not like the others one to drop
show route
show vaps ← This seems the best to retrieve the SSID’s and validate only the correct SSIDs are configured.
show vlans
show vlan config
show vlan gateway
show vlan status
Will experiment with a couple of NQE’s and share them if I think they are useful.
The next thing I should do is add a discovery command, but will experiment again with that later.
Name Detection - Command to assign the device name
Clear Prompt - Method to clear the CLI prompt during collection
Type Detector - Command and string to fingerprint the Arista APs
Are you also considering a client RSSI value analysis NQE?
A wonderful example of using CLI Endpoints BTW.
With reference to the client RSSI values I hadn’t at this time, but it possibly something I will look at in due course.
