WLC CLI command to show clients

Aleck_Sei — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 11:16:14 GMT

Hi everybody

I work with a Cisco 8540 WLC and I have to extract some connection statistics.

Is there some command to list...

- all clients connected to a specific SSID?
- all clients connected to a specific APGroup?
- all clients connected to a particular AP.?

I am trying to use "grep" but I am not able to display the information that I want.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have Prime Infrastructure? You can pull client statistics from that or even other management tools. If you are just looking for a command line for just point in time connections, then there are a few, like one @Mark Elsen mentioned. You can also look at the show client summary ?

There are options to include the ssid ip username, etc.

(5520-01) >show client summary ?

<ssid / ip / username / devicetype / security / ipsk-tag> Displays active clients selective details on anyone (OR) all of parameters <ssid, ip, username, devicetype, ipsk-tag> requested in any order.

The apgroup stuff you might just have to figure out how to parse that data from the show wlan apgroup command.

Here is the command I use to get the information by IP when I ssh to the controller:
grep include "x.x.x.x" "show client summary ip" (replace the x's with the IP address)
