WLAN reporting with 9800 WLC

Alex-Pr — Tue, 30 May 2023 20:51:09 GMT

Hi All,

We are a meetings center so we run custom WIFI networks for events and conferences. We have been using PI for years for reporting and that has been great. We are now upgrading to 9800 controllers and with have DNA Centre.

What is a good want to do similar per WLAN reporting? Is there something in DNA Center that is similar or should I keep going with PI?

What we currently have is per WLAN association graphs as well as a detailed report that shows the total number of connected devices, bandwidth, device types etc.

I have attached a couple samples

Thanks. Appreciate your input.

Only issue is DNAC does not keep historic data beyond couple of weeks. You have capability to run most of the reports in DNAC, see below client report templates available in DNAC

I would suggest you get familiar with DNAC reports and see if you get what you want. It won't be exactly same, but you can generate similar reports (max up to 2 weeks of historic data). Until you are comfortable keep the PI, but in long run PI won't be supported and has to go in favour of DNAC

Dear Alex,

You can explore report section of DNAC. You can also generate custom reports.
No dough that PI gives us great reporting tools and templates but DNAC is some different while using PI.
