To view summary and detailed configuration information for a mesh access point from a mesh network map,
follow these steps:
Step 1 On the GUI of Cisco Prime Infrastructure, choose Monitor > Maps.
Step 2
Click the Map Name that corresponds to the outdoor area, campus, building, or floor location of the mesh access point
you want to monitor.
Step 3 To view summary configuration information for a mesh access point, move the cursor over the mesh access point that
you want to monitor. A page with configuration information for the selected mesh access point appears.
Step 4 To view detailed configuration information for a mesh access point, click the arrow portion of the mesh access point
label. The configuration details for the mesh access point appears.
Note If the mesh access point has an IP address, a Run Ping Test link is also visible at the bottom of the mesh access
point panel.
Step 5 On the Access Point configuration page, follow these steps to view configuration details for the mesh access point:
a) Choose the General tab to view the overall configuration of the mesh access point such as AP name, MAC address,
AP Up time, associated controllers (registered and primary) operational status, and software version.
The software version for mesh access points is appended the letter m and the word mesh in parentheses.
Note
b) Choose the Interface tab to view configuration details for the interfaces supported on the mesh access point. Interface
options are radio and Ethernet.
c) Choose the Mesh Links tab to view parent and neighbors' details (name, MAC address, packet error rate, and link
details) for the mesh access point. You can also initiate link tests from this panel.
d) Choose the Mesh Statistics tab to view details on the bridging, queue, and security statistics for the mesh access

Monitoring Mesh Access Point Neighbors Using Maps

To view details on neighbors of a mesh access point from a mesh network map, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Maps.
Step 2 Click the Map Name that corresponds to the outdoor area, campus, building, or floor you want to monitor.
Step 3 To view detailed information on mesh links for a mesh access point, click the arrow portion of the access point label.
The Access Points screen appears.
Step 4 Click the Mesh Links tab.
Note You can also mesh link details for neighbors of a selected mesh access point by clicking on the View Mesh
Neighbors link on the mesh access point configuration summary panel that displays when you mouse over a
mesh access point on a map.
Note Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) only appears on the View Mesh Neighbors
panel.
Note In addition to listing the current and past neighbors in the panel that displays, labels are added to the mesh access
points map icons to identify the selected mesh access point, the neighbor mesh access point, and the child mesh
access point. Select the clear link of the selected mesh access point to remove the relationship labels from the
map.
