show ap arm history

For each interface on an IAP, the show ap arm history command shows the history of channel and power changes due to ARM. ARM can automatically change channel and power levels based on a number of factors such as noise levels and radio interference. The following example shows the output of the show ap arm history command:

noise Displays the current noise level on each channel.
Util (Qual) Displays the percentage of the channel being used and the current relative quality of selected channels.
cov-idx(Total) Displays RF coverage details. The IAP uses this metric to measure RF coverage. The coverage index is calculated as x+y, where “x” is the IAP’s weighted calculation of the Signal-to- Noise Ratio (SNR) on all valid APs on a specified 802.11 channel, and “y” is the weighted calculation of the IAPs SNR detected by the neighboring APs on that channel.
intf_idx(Total

Displays channel interference details. The IAP uses this metric to measure co-channel and adjacent channel interference. The Interference Index is calculated as a/b//c/d, where:

l Metric value “a” is the channel interference the AP sees on its selected channel.
l Metric value “b” is the interference the AP sees on the adjacent channel.
l Metric value “c” is the channel interference the AP’s neighbors see on the selected channel.
l Metric value “d” is the interference the AP’s neighbors see on the adjacent channel.
l To calculate the total Interference Index for a channel add “a+b+c+d”.
channel_pair Displays the list of paired channels.
Pairwise_intf_index Displays the pairwise interference index.
Interface Name Displays the interface name.
Current ARM Assignment Displays the current ARM assignment details.
Covered channels Displays the number of channels being used by the IAP's BSSID in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Free channels Displays the number of available channels in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
ARM Edge State Displays the ARM Edge status. If ARM edge status is enabled, the ARM-enabled IAPs on the network edge will not function as Air Monitors.
