I really like your project and have it pretty much running on most of my switches how I want it.
But I noticed two things, concerning the Cisco WLC parts.
1. When you specify the name of the Cisco WLC as switch name in the GUI, he doesn't find it. It is their though, I went into the mactable.txt
Excerpt --> wcfon01,9c04.eba0.04b3,APd867.d9fc.0bf5,wifi
This is quite annoying as you can not filter on it.
2. It seems that the ciscowlcscraper has no arp collection feature. Only MAC addresses. The code seems to show only a placeholder for future implementation? Missing command is show arp switch (on a Cisco 2504 WLC running 7.2)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I filtered out wifi entries by default from switch reports since we have 8,000 clients here and it might break people's browser by clicking on it. I'll add a knob to turn on that functionality and treat them as regular switches.
As for ARP, is your WLC your router for your wireless network? I've only dealt with external routers with WLCs and grab the ARP table from the external router. If the WLCs can in fact be full routers, get me the show arp command and output and I'll add that to the scraper.

Sorry for being so late with the response.
Here is the requested output and more.
These outputs give the ability to link a MAC-address to a an AP a WLAN and it's IP address.
I added the command config paging disabled. To make sure that it doesn't wait for page breaks.
Mario,
I am currently working on getting the wlan association, and it should be in by the end of the week. Unfortunately config paging disable requires privileges or it is system wide, and the last time I checked that can not be changed. I wrote a function to deal with the paging and it handles it pretty well.
I am curious as to why you want to collect ARP from the WLCs vs collecting it on your routers, it could lead to an excessive about of duplicates in the arp.txt.

Mario,
I added this to the todo list and will add ARP table support to the next revision of the WLC scraper. Thanks for the output.
