  • 1.  Identifying Down APs via CLI?

    Posted Mar 18, 2025 04:23 AM

    Are there any commands to view a list of Up/Down APs from within the CLI?

    I know I can query OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.3.3.1.2.1.1.11 via SNMP to view the current status of the APs (up/down) but it seems that when an AP goes down it is hit or miss if it even shows as down in there - it instead just disappears from the list.

    show ap database long | include Up

    show ap database long | include Down

    Remember, include is case sensitive so it has to be capital letters

    That's for a controller environment. I think the ask here is for Instant APs?

    I would not know if down APs in an Instant swarm can be easily reported. If you give them a DHCP static reservation, you can of course ping each of the APs from your monitoring system.

    Thanks, Herman. That's been my findings as well, there's no easy way about this. I could query the cluster bssid-table and de-duplicate to see which AP name is missing from a list or even look at the list of 'allowed-aps' and cross-reference which doesn't exist - but that was more than what I was hoping to do.

    Appreciate your help regardless.
