How to view client statistics on an access point

[Michael Murray]

I have Cisco 3602 APs, a 5508 controller, and NCS. I would like to view the client count and client traffic on a particular AP in real time. I know I can view the periodic numbers that NCS pulls but I'd like to see them any time I want. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Enable ssh on the AP(s) and the following commands will provide the info you are looking for:

0 = 2.4 slot  1 = 5 slot

sh controllers dot11Radio 1 wlan

    shows BSSID values for WLANs

sh controllers Dot11Radio 1 powercfg

    shows current and supported power levels for each radio: 0 = 2.4, 1 =5 

sh controllers Dot11Radio 0 client | begin RSSI

    shows client RSSI values as seen by radio: 0 = 2.4, 1 =5

    can use pipe to isolate by client mac address

You can enable spin up a linux box with RANCID and use cron to pull the info via script
