Chapter 2      Configuring Radio Settings

  Performing a Carrier Busy Test

Performing a Carrier Busy Test

You can perform a carrier busy test to check the radio activity on wireless channels. During the carrier 
busy test, the wireless device drops all associations with wireless networking devices for 4 seconds while 
it conducts the carrier test and then displays the test results.

In privileged EXEC mode, enter this command to perform a carrier busy test:

dot11 

interface-number

 carrier busy

 

For 

interface-number

, enter 

dot11radio 0

 to run the test on the 2.4-GHz radio, or enter 

dot11radio 1

 to 

run the test on the 5-GHz radio.

Use the 

show dot11 carrier busy 

command to re-display the carrier busy test results.
