The Wireless System Summary report reveals wireless LAN system information for a network you specify.

Understand column data

The default view of each report contains a grid with the following columns:

  • WLCs. Number of wireless LAN controllers connected to the selected network.
  • Lightweight APs. Number of lightweight wireless access points (access points managed by WLCs).
  • Autonomous APs. Number of stand-alone (locally managed) wireless access points.
  • SSIDs. Number of service set identifiers (SSIDs) in use.
  • Clients. Number of known wireless end stations detected.
  • Rogues. Number of unknown ("rogue") wireless end stations detected.
  • RSSI Avg. Average radio frequency (RF) signal strength percentage observed.
  • SNR Avg. Average signal to noise ratio (SNR) observed.
Important: The rogue count displayed in the Wireless Rogue Count dashboard report represents the average number of rouges seen by the specified access point(s) within the selected timeframe. However, the rogue count displayed in the Wireless System Summary dashboard report represents the total number of rogue end stations seen on the network.
