The default is one hour, meaning that channel usage is reassessed and the
resulting channel plan is applied every hour.
If you change these settings, click Save. The changes are saved to the active
configuration and the Startup Configuration.
The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 devices within range of each
wireless radio in the cluster. (For example, if a WAP device has two wireless
radios, 40 devices would be displayed for that device.) The Wireless
Neighborhood page also distinguishes between cluster members and
nonmembers.
The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:
• Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) devices in a wireless domain so
that you can take action to limit associated risks.
• Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which WAP devices are visible
and at what signal strength from other devices, you can verify that the
deployment meets your planning goals.
• Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a
glance in the color coded table.
To view neighboring devices, select Single Point Setup > Wireless
Neighborhood in the navigation pane. To see all the devices detected on a given
Single Point Setup, navigate to the web interface of a member and select
Wireless > Rogue AP Detection in the navigation pane.
For each neighbor access point, the following information is shown:
• Display Neighboring APs—Select one of the following radio buttons to
change the view:
- In cluster—Only neighbor WAP devices that are members of the cluster.
- Not in cluster—Only neighbor WAP devices that are not cluster
members.
- Both—Shows all neighbor WAP devices (cluster members and
nonmembers).
