Commands Related to ClientLink

The following commands are related to ClientLink:

• The following commands are to be entered in the AP console:

◦ To check the status of Beamforming on the AP, enter the show controller d0/d1 command.

◦ To find a client in the AP rbf table, enter the show interface dot110 command.

◦ To check the Beamforming rate assigned on the AP, enter the debug d0 trace print rates command.

• The following commands on the AP console are used for troubleshooting:

◦ To show that ClientLink is enabled on a radio, enter the show controllers | inc Beam command.

The output is displayed as follows:

Legacy Beamforming: Configured Yes, Active Yes, RSSI Threshold -50 dBm

Controller Planning

The following items affect the number of controllers required in a mesh network:

• Mesh access points (RAPs and MAPs) in the network.

The wired network that connects the RAP and controllers can affect the total number of access points

supported in the network. If this network allows the controllers to be equally available to all access

points without any impact on WLAN performance, the access points can be evenly distributed across

all controllers for maximum efficiency. If this is not the case, and controllers are grouped into various

clusters or PoPs, the overall number of access points and coverage are reduced.

• Number of mesh access points (RAPs and MAPs) supported per controller. See Table 18: Mesh Access

Point Support by Controller Model , on page 59.

For clarity, nonmesh access points are referred to as local access points in this document.
