Viewing Wireless Neighborhood Information
The Wireless Neighborhood shows up to 20 access points per radio within range of every member of the
cluster, shows which access points are within range of which cluster members, and distinguishes between
cluster members and non‐members.
Note: The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 access points per radio. To see all the access
points detected on a given cluster access point, navigate to that cluster member's web interface and
go to the Status > Neighboring Access Points page.
For each neighbor access point, the Wireless Neighborhood view shows identifying information (SSID or
Network Name, IP Address, MAC address) along with radio statistics (signal strength, channel, beacon interval).
You can click on an AP to get additional statistics about the APs in radio range of the currently selected AP.
The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:
• Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) access points in a wireless domain so that you can take action to
limit associated risks
• Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which APs are visible at what signal strength from other APs,
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.
