In Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Let the Picture Tell a Radio Story

Lee Badman of wirednot comments:

Say what you will about PI (and I say plenty, sometimes under my breath), there is a lot packed into this Network Management System. One of my favorite features for remotely characterizing how individual APs see each other may not be so obvious, so a quick show and tell is provided here.

The goal? Let me:

  • see a floorplan with APs on it
  • ask any one of those APs how it sees it’s neighbors from the radio perspective as they are all mounted
  • show me one band at a time
  • show me signal strengths of APs on the same floorplan, and NOT on the same floorplan

And as a bonus- show me a slew of radio specific data for any AP’s individual radios.

A picture is worth a thousand words. And if you’re wireless professional, that picture may tell the story better than any words you can write up.
