Consolidated AP-Provisioned Information from Switch
To get consolidated AP-Provisioned information for a single AP, execute the following CLI command:
(host)#show ap consolidated-provision info ap-name <ap-name>
To get consolidated AP-provisioned information of all active APs, execute the following CLI command:
(host)#ap consolidated-provision info
The switch stores the provisioning information of all active APs in the /flash/config/ap_provision_info.txt file.
One can retrieve this text file or transfer this file to the TFTP or FTP server by using the copy command.
Intelligent Power Monitoring
Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) is a feature that actively measures the power utilization of an AP and
dynamically adapts to the power budget. The static power management method, in contrast to IPM, limits the
operation and performance of an AP based on the worst case power usage model.
IPM dynamically limits the power requirement of an AP as per the available power resources. This is in contrast
to the existing static power management method where the power profiles (POE-AF/POE-AT/DC or LLDP) are
hard-coded for each AP. In order to manage this prioritization, you can define a set of power reduction steps
and associate them with a priority. IPM applies a sequence of power reduction steps as defined by the priority
definition until the AP is functioning within the power budget. This happens dynamically as IPM constantly
monitors the AP power consumption and reacts to over-consumption by applying the next power reduction
step in the priority list if the AP exceeds the power threshold.
IPM is supported in OAW-AP300 Series, OAW-AP303H, OAW-AP310 Series, and OAW-AP330 Series access
points.
Important Points to Remember
n By default, IPM is disabled.
n Once enabled, IPM enables all AP functionality initially. IPM then proceeds to shut down or restrict
functionality if the power usage of the AP goes beyond the power budget of the AP.
Some functionalities may still be restricted because IPM does not override the pre-existing settings that restrict
functionality. For example, USB functionality can be disabled in the provisioning profile regardless of the power
source.
n IPM operates in PoE mode only.
Configuring IPM
A low priority value for a power reduction step reduces the power level sooner than setting a high priority value
for a power reduction step. However, if the power reduction step is of the same type but different level, the
smallest reduction should be allocated the lowest priority value so that the power reduction step takes place
earlier. For example, the cpu_throttle_25 or radio_2ghz_power_3dB parameter should have a lower priority
level than the cpu_throttle_50 or radio_2ghz_power_6dB respectively so that IPM reduces the CPU throttle
or power usage based on the priority list.
You can configure IPM using the WebUI or CLI.
In the WebUI
To enable IPM, follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to Configuration > ADVANCED SERVICES>All Profiles.
