Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Radio specific client count report in Cisco environment

2014-03-23 Thread James Helzerman
Can you export the report as a CSV and do a sort or filter based on "0"
 clients for a radio?  You will probably get a lot of false positives such
as after hours but you could further filter the list till you get something
manageable.

There is also a dead radio report.  It is under the inventory report and
then change the drop down to "dead radio".  I am not 100% sure what or how
is classified as a dead radio.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Radio specific client count report in Cisco environment

2014-03-24 Thread Christina Klam
We have a similar issue where periodically AP are "up" but will not let
clients connect to it.  I never thought to look if it was only 2.4 or
both.  The "solution" is that we reboot every AP and controller every 90
- 100 days.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Radio specific client count report in Cisco environment

2014-03-24 Thread Jim Glassford

Hi,

I can not answer your question, I have looked for this also but also I 
really do not trust WCS/NCS/Prime N to give an accurate output.


Still using some perl scripts from FAT AP days and modified these to 
double-check the capwap units are taking clients.
Check for clients on APs and what radios they are working on, if no 
counts when feel there should be, then take a closer look what is going on.
If you have anything left over from managing individual APS and wanted 
to reuse, the hard part for me was understanding hitting the WLC then 
appending the MAC address of the AP to query the MIB and all has to be 
in decimal. Can then pull a client MAC address list from each AP, change 
to decimal and query again to get the radio information for each client 
and other information if wanted.


Electrical brown outs and other issues has caused APs to look fine but 
not take clients for us on array of AP models and OS versions over the 
years.


best!
jim

this report only reports access points with no associations on any

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Radio specific client count report in Cisco environment

2014-03-24 Thread Kitri Waterman
Cisco has a WLC config checker here. 

https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/7711/wlc-config-analyzer


Running our config through it revealed that we have a large amount of
2.4 radios at power level 7...which translates to 2 dBM...meaning your
radios could just be WAY powered down.

Make sure you have no output to the WLC console and then run "config
paging disable" and then "show run-config". Dump all that output into
the analyzer.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Radio specific client count report in Cisco environment

2014-03-24 Thread McClintic, Thomas
Kitri,

If you are allowing RRM to do TPC you may want to evaluate your layout. TPC is 
setting the PL to 7 because the APs can all see each other. If you turn up the 
PL you may see your utilization for 802.11 climb as well.

Just something to consider, you can also set the Minimum Power Level Assignment 
to something higher, like 10dBm. Just be sure to keep an eye on utilization at 
the AP.

Totally off subject, but tossing it out there

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. We are using Wism2's running 7.5.102.8 and are in the 
process of upgrading to 7.6.100.0 to support 3700 series access points. The 
affected access points that I am aware of are 3500 series.

We have a mix of 1142, 3500 and 3600 series at the moment.

We upgraded to 7.5.102.8 as there was a bug affecting the radios in random 1142 
access points which caused radios to fail requiring a reboot to fix.

I tried running the dead radio report, as suggested in another email, but it 
didn't seem to reveal much.

Thanks,
Peter.

Hi,

Cisco's recommendation is forget 7.5 train and upgrade to 7.6 or use 
7.4MD (all 7.5, 7.3. and 7.2 are in deferred state). I think its better 
upgrade and look if the problem appears again.


Regards.
Fran.

to fix.

I tried running the dead radio report, as suggested in another email,
but it didn’t seem to reveal much.

Thanks,

Peter.

Cisco environment

What code base are you running and what model AP was the issue on?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has been able to run a report that identifies
unused radios of using Cisco Prime 1.4.

We recently found a room with two access points where a client couldn’t
connect. It turned out that even though the 2.4 radio reported as being
on and functioning, no clients could connect. One stopped working a few
weeks ago, and the other three days ago. The 5GHz radios were working
fine and had clients associated to both access points.

I ran the “Client Count” report for the affected floor from the Client
Reports section and this was ok for a small area, as it reports all the
access points in a graph format, and allowed me to select by radio type.

It got me wondering how many other radios may have a similar problem.

If I run this report for all our access points, there is no sort
function, so you have to manually look through all the graphs.

In the Device section, there is a “Top AP by Client Count” This is a
handy report, as it gives a numeric output and can be sorted, but it
seems to be total clients for the AP and there is no option to report on
just specific radio type, so I can only assume that this report only
reports access points with no associations on any radio.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter.
