Cisco WLAN Attribute Reference

This reference lists the attributes that Device Security collects from Cisco WLAN, their names as stored in Device Security, and the Device Security fields they map to.
When Device Security integrates with Cisco WLAN controllers, it imports wireless network data to enrich the device inventory. The attributes in this reference cover access point configurations and wireless client associations.
The third-party attribute name in Device Security refers to the attribute name as it appears in the Assets Inventory table and in Query Engine. This follows the format of third-party-name.attribute-name. When viewing the attribute name in the Assets Inventory table column selector or on a Device Details page, where the third-party name can be found as a header for the attributes section, then the third-party name is removed from the attribute name.
For example, micrsoft_defender_xdr.macAddress would appear in the Query Builder and in the Assets Inventory table, but under Device DetailsAttributesIntegration Specific AttributesMicrosoft Defender, the attribute would appear as macAddress.

Access Point Attributes

Device Security collects access point attributes from the Cisco Catalyst show ap summary detail command. Each record describes an individual access point managed by the controller.
