Using the Capacity Planning Report
The Capacity Planning Report tracks device bandwidth capacity and throughput in device groups, folders, and
SSIDs. This report assists in analyzing device capacity and performance on the network, and such analysis can
help to achieve network efficiency and improved experience for users.
This report is based on interface-level activity.
The information in this report can be sorted by any column header
in sequential or reverse-sequential order by clicking the column heading.
Refer also to the “Using the Network Usage Report” on page27
