Description

This command shows the Basic Service Set (BSS) table of an AP. To filter this information and view BSS table data for an individual AP or a specific port and slot number, include the ap-name, bssid, essid, ip-addr, or port keywords.

Parameter

Description

ap-name <ap-name>

Shows the BSS table for the specified AP name.

bssid <bssid>

Shows the BSS table for the specified Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of an AP. The BSSID is usually the MAC address of an AP.

counters

Shows the BSS table of counters for the specified AP.

details

Shows the BSS table with detailed columns.

essid <essid>

Show the BSS table for the specified Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) of an AP. An ESSID is a alphanumeric name that uniquely identifies a wireless network. If the name includes spaces, enclose the ESSID in quotation marks.

ip-addr <ip-addr>

Shows the BSS table for the specified IP address of an AP.

ip6-addr <ip6-addr>

Shows the BSS table for the specified IPv6 address of an AP.

  • g-HT—802.11g high throughput

band/ht-mode/bandwidth

(AOS 8.9.0.0 or later versions)

The AP radio type displayed by radio band/throughput type/channel bandwidth. Possible values for each type are as follows:

  • band2.4GHz, 5GHz, or 6GHz
  • ht-modeHT, VHT, or HE
  • bandwidth20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz, 80+80MHz, or 160MHz

Shows whether the AP is working as an access point (AP) or air monitor (AM).

cur-cl

Current number of clients on the AP.

ap name

Name of the AP.

in-t(s)

Number of seconds that an AP has been inactive.

  • Enabled: An ACL with time restrictions is currently enabled (so the AP is disabled).
  • This data column will display a dash (-) if no ACLs are currently configured for the AP.

acl

The ACL ID is displayed based on the role set.

fm

Listed below are the forwarding modes available:

  • T-Tunnel
  • S-Split
  • D-Decrypt Tunnel
  • B-Bridge (s-standard, p-persistent, b-backup, a-always)

NOTE: If anyspot is enabled for a particular BSSID, then it is represented as n in the Forwarding Mode parameter.

flags
