AP Scan List Parameter

Description

 

 

 

AP Name

The access point’s name. It is shown only if the access point was configured

 

with a name, Aironet Extensions are enabled (on access points running Cisco

 

IOS Release 12.2(4)JA or later), and the access point transmits this

 

information.

 

 

Note This field shows up to 15 characters although the name of the access

 

point may be longer.

 

 

CCX

The version of Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) supported by the access

 

point. It is shown only if the access point transmits this information.

 

Value: 1, 2, 3, or 4

 

 

Other Information

A list of miscellaneous values that may appear depending on the access

 

point’s current status and the information that it transmits.

 

Values: Ad-Hoc, Power, Qos, RM-Normal, RM-Source, and Ssidl

 

 

 

 

Value

Description

 

 

 

 

Ad-Hoc

Indicates that the device is not an access point but another

 

 

client adapter operating in ad hoc mode.

 

 

 

 

Power

Indicates whether the access point can limit the transmitting

 

 

power of the client adapter. If so, the power limit is also shown

 

 

in milliwatts (mW).

 

 

 

 

Qos

Indicates whether the access point is using quality of service

 

 

(QoS). QoS on wireless LANs (WLAN) provides

 

 

prioritization of traffic from the access point over the WLAN

 

 

based on traffic classification.

 

 

 

 

RM-Normal

Indicates whether the access point is using radio management.

 

RM-APScan

If so, a value of 1 indicates normal status, 2 indicates AP radio

 

RM-CliWlk

scan, and 3 indicates client walkabout. Any other value

 

 

appears as RM-State:xxx, where xxx represents a numerical

 

 

value.

 

 

 

 

RM-Source

Indicates whether the access point is using radio management

 

 

extensions and displays the MAC address of the radio

 

 

management source (for example, RM-Source:

 

 

00-07-85-B4-04-9F).

 

 

 

 

Ssidl

Indicates the number of advertised alternate SSIDs (for

 

 

example, Ssidl:2).
