Cisco WAP131 - Viewing Channel Assignments and Setting Locks

Single Point Setup
Channel Management
Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide 181

The channel management overrides the default cluster behavior, which is to
synchronize the radio channels of all WAP devices that are members of the cluster.
When the channel management is enabled, the radio channel is not synchronized
across the cluster to other devices.
When the automatic channel assignment is enabled, the channel manager
periodically maps the radio channels used by the WAP devices in a Single Point
Setup cluster and, if necessary, reassigns the channels to reduce the interference
with the cluster members or with the devices outside the cluster. The channel
policy for the radio is automatically set to the static mode, and the Auto option is
not available for the Channel field on the Wireless > Radio page.
See Viewing Channel Assignments and Setting Locks for more information on
the current and proposed channel assignments.
STEP 3 To stop automatic channel assignment, click Stop.
No channel usage maps or channel reassignments are made. Only manual updates
affect the channel assignment.
Viewing Channel Assignments and Setting Locks
When the channel management is enabled, the page shows the Current Channel
Assignations table and the Proposed Channel Assignments table.
Current Channel Assignments Table
The Current Channel Assignments table shows a list of all WAP devices in the
Single Point Setup cluster by IP address.
The table provides the following details on the current channel assignments:
• Location—The physical location of the WAP device.
• IP Address—The IP address for the WAP device.
• Wireless Radio—The MAC address of the radio.
• Band—The band on which the WAP device is broadcasting.
• Channel—The radio channel on which the WAP device is currently
broadcasting.
• Locked—Forces the WAP device to remain on the current channel.
