Hi,
I can not answer your question, I have looked for this also but also I
really do not trust WCS/NCS/Prime N to give an accurate output.
Still using some perl scripts from FAT AP days and modified these to
double-check the capwap units are taking clients.
Check for clients on APs and what radios they are working on, if no
counts when feel there should be, then take a closer look what is going on.
If you have anything left over from managing individual APS and wanted
to reuse, the hard part for me was understanding hitting the WLC then
appending the MAC address of the AP to query the MIB and all has to be
in decimal. Can then pull a client MAC address list from each AP, change
to decimal and query again to get the radio information for each client
and other information if wanted.
Electrical brown outs and other issues has caused APs to look fine but
not take clients for us on array of AP models and OS versions over the
years.
best!

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to run a report that
identifies unused radios of using Cisco Prime 1.4.
We recently found a room with two access points where a client
couldn't connect. It turned out that even though the 2.4 radio
reported as being on and functioning, no clients could connect.
One stopped working a few weeks ago, and the other three days ago.
The 5GHz radios were working fine and had clients associated to
both access points.
I ran the "Client Count" report for the affected floor from the
Client Reports section and this was ok for a small area, as it
reports all the access points in a graph format, and allowed me to
select by radio type.
It got me wondering how many other radios may have a similar problem.
If I run this report for all our access points, there is no sort
function, so you have to manually look through all the graphs.
In the Device section, there is a "Top AP by Client Count" This is
a handy report, as it gives a numeric output and can be sorted,
but it seems to be total clients for the AP and there is no option
to report on just specific radio type, so I can only assume that
this report only reports access points with no associations on any
radio.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter.
