This script is intended to help the user find a client and the AP it's associated to as well as help troubleshoot client roaming.
This python script will do at least one of the following for a given sta:
- Notify user of the current associated AP via the Pushover notification service
- Blink the lights on the currently associated AP
This script ssh's into the master controller, runs show global-user-table list mac-addr <mac> and parses the response. This script will run indefinitely until killed by the user. Because of the way Paramiko handles ssh, each command will spin up a ssh session every time a command is sent(Not great, I know, but it works. See to-do's).
NOTE: When the script process is killed, if an AP was blinking it will not be set back to normal. This must be done manually.
Usage: aruba_apfinder.py <options>
aruba_apfinder.py -m <ip> -e <enable password> -u <username> -p <password> -b -p -pt <app token> -pk <user key>
| Option | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| -m, --master | Master Controller IP Address | Yes |
| -e, --enable | Controller's enable password | Yes |
| -u, --user | SSH Username | Yes |
| -pw, --password | SSH Password | Yes |
| -b --blink | Blink APs | No |
| -p --pushover | Send Pushover Notifications | No |
| -pt, --pushtoken | Pushover Application Token | Yes, if -p is set |
| -pk, --pushkey | Pushover User Key | Yes, if -p is set |
-
Pushover
- A valid Pushover account(https://pushover.net) is required for sending notifications(yes, it's free).
- An application in Pushover must be created(I recommend a dedicated application).
-
Python Modules:
- Netaddr
- Paramiko
- All others should be built-in
- Write the AP associations a times to a log file
- Optimize SSH sessions so that a single SSH tunnel is established and kept open for the life of the script.
- Handle SIGINT so that the script cleans up any running commands instead of just quitting.
