Configuring RFID Tag Tracking
You can configure and view RFID tag tracking information through the controller CLI.
Using the CLI to Configure RFID Tag Tracking
Follow these steps to configure RFID tag tracking parameters using the CLI.
Step 1
To enable or disable RFID tag tracking, enter this command:
config rfid status
{
enable
|
disable
}
The default value is enabled.
Step 2
To specify a static timeout value (between 60 and 7200 seconds), enter this command:
config rfid timeout
seconds
The static timeout value is the amount of time that the controller maintains tags before expiring them.
For example, if a tag is configured to beacon every 30 seconds, Cisco recommends that you set the
timeout value to 90 seconds (approximately three times the beacon value). The default value is 1200
seconds.
Step 3
To enable or disable RFID tag mobility for specific tags, enter these commands:
•
config rfid mobility
vendor_name
enable
—Enables client mobility for a specific vendor’s tags.
When you enter this command, tags are unable to obtain a DHCP address for client mode when
attempting to check and/or download a configuration.
•
config rfid mobility
vendor_name
disable
—Disables client mobility for a specific vendor’s tags.
When you enter this command, tags can obtain a DHCP address. If a tag roams from one subnet to
another, it obtains a new address rather than retaining the anchor state.
Note
These commands can be used only for Pango tags. Therefore, the only valid entry for
vendor_name
is “pango” in all lowercase letters.
