Understanding Wireless Neighborhood Information
The Wireless Neighborhood shows all access points within range of every member of the cluster, shows which access points are within range of which cluster members, and distinguishes between cluster members and
For each neighbor access point, the Wireless Neighborhood view shows identifying information (SSID or Network Name, IP Address, MAC address) along with radio statistics (signal strength, channel, beacon interval). You can click on an AP to get additional statistics about the APs in radio range of the currently selected AP.
The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:
∙Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) access points in a wireless domain so that you can take action to limit associated risks.
∙Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which APs are visible at what signal strength from other APs, you can verify that the deployment meets your planning goals.
∙Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a glance in the color coded table.
