topic Hi,Try to use this command: in Wireless

BSSID information

glenne nelson — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 09:32:32 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to find the BSSID for AP's on our campus. Using both Wireless Lan Controllers (WLC) and Cisco Prime, I just cannot find where the BSSID is evident.

It is configured and used because a client has requested the information for BSSID all our AP's based on the fact that he can see the ones in his area (not sure what tool he used to get this).

Additionally, can a report be generated from WLC and/or Cisco Prime to return the BSSID on all our AP's, about 1000 currently.

Thanks,

Glenne.

Hi,

Try to use this command:

Thanks, I'll have a look. I was using WLC via the GUI rather than CLI.

How about running a report for the BSSID of all the AP's, is that possible, without having to write any scripts.

I don't think there is way to take report without scripts.

Just via CLI you can check for each AP and prepare a excel sheet.

Thanks, I'll look into it

Thanks,

I'll look into it further and have a couple of sources coming back to me with some further information. At least I'm clear now that there was no way of extracting the information from the GUI on WLC or Cisco Prime.

Have checked the post which and it corroborates what we have already deduced.

The required BSSID information is required by our Unified Comms team for a LYNC2013 project. Have given them the option to have scripts written to derive the information or find something other than BSSID for LUNC2013 database.

Lync over wifi ? Good luck

Lync over wifi ? Good luck with that !

Have your read the Lync deployment guide? When on a voice call Lync tells the nic to stop all background scanning till the nic loses connection !

I needed exactly the same

PETER MOOREY — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 18:32:13 GMT

I needed exactly the same info, for monitoring of our Lync deployment. The BSSID is a calculated value. You can take the radio MAC address and increment it for 2.4Ghz starting from zero, and decrementing by 1 starting from F for 5Ghz, for example:

2.4Ghz SSID1 = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:70

2.4Ghz SSID2 = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:71

2.4Ghz SSID3 = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:72

5Gz SSID1 = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:7f

5Gz SSID2 = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:7e

5Gz SSID3 = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:7d

Hope this helps,

Peter Moorey.
