If you change these settings, click Save. The changes are saved to the active configuration and the Startup Configuration.

Wireless Neighborhood

The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 devices within range of each wireless radio in the cluster. (For example, if a WAP device has two wireless radios, 40 devices would be displayed for that device.) The Wireless Neighborhood page also distinguishes between cluster members and nonmembers.

The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:

•Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) devices in a wireless domain so that you can take action to limit associated risks.

•Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which WAP devices are visible and at what signal strength from other devices, 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.

To view neighboring devices, select Single Point Setup > Wireless Neighborhood in the navigation pane. To see all the devices detected on a given Single Point Setup, navigate to the web interface of a member and select Wireless > Rogue AP Detection in the navigation pane.

For each neighbor access point, the following information is shown:

•Display Neighboring APs—Select one of the following radio buttons to change the view:

-In cluster—Only neighbor WAP devices that are members of the cluster.

-Not in cluster—Only neighbor WAP devices that are not cluster members.

-Both—Shows all neighbor WAP devices (cluster members and nonmembers).
