Wireless Neighborhood
The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 devices per radio 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).
NOTE For a detected AP that is also a cluster member, only the SSIDs of the
default VAP (VAP0) display as In cluster. Non-default VAPs on the AP display
as Not in cluster.
•Cluster—The list at the top of the table shows IP addresses for all WAP
devices that are clustered together. (This list is the same as the members
list on the Single Point Setup > Access Points page.)
