BSSID Counters

BSSID Counters

This feature helps to retrieve the BSSID statistics when a client is associated with a WLAN for every configured interval. A new configuration is introduced in the controller per AP profile to enable or disable BSSID statistics on the access points. The feature is disabled by default.


Note


BSSID counter is not supported on the Cisco Aironet 1800 series APs and Cisco Catalyst 9100 series APs.


Enabling BSSID Statistics and BSSID Neighbor Statistics

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Example:

Device# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

ap profile ap-profile-name

Example:

Device(config)# ap profile ap-profile-name

Enters the AP profile configuration submode. ap-profile-name is the profile name of the configured AP.

Step 3

bssid-stats

Example:

Device(config-ap-profile)#[no] bssid-stats

Enables BSSID statistics. Use the no form of the command to disable the feature.

Step 4

bssid-stats bssid-stats-frequency bssid-timer-seconds

Example:

Device(config-ap-profile)# bssid-stats bssid-stats-frequency 40

Sets the BSSID stats frequency timer. BSSID statistics frequency timer is in the range of 1 to 180 seconds.

Step 5

bssid-neighbor-stats

Example:

Device(config-ap-profile)# [no] bssid-neighbor-stats

Enables BSSID neighbor statistics. Use the no form of the command to disable the feature.

Step 6

bssid-neighbor-stats interval bssid-interval <1-180>

Example:

Device(config-ap-profile)# [no] bssid-neighbor-stats interval 50

Sets the interval at which BSSID neighbor statistics is sent from the AP. The BSSID neighbor stats interval is in the range of 1to 180 seconds.

Verifying BSSID Statistics on the Controller

To verify the BSSID statistics on the controller, use the following command:

  • show wireless stats ap name ap-name dot11 24ghz slot 0 wlan-id <wlan-id> statistics

    Device# show wireless stats ap name APXXXX.6DXX.58XX dot11 24ghz slot 0 wlan-id 18 stat
