Uplink Bandwidth Monitoring
An AP uses Iperf3 as a TCP or UDP client to run a speed test and measure the bandwidth
on an uplink. The results from the speed test are collated by the AP and published to
Analytics and Location Engine (ALE). The speed tests can be run only on the master AP of
the cluster. You may choose to configure and execute a speed test profile during boot time
and additionally at specific time intervals using the configuration mode or execute the speed
test at any preferred time using the privileged EXEC mode in the CLI.
To configure and automatically run speed tests at specific time intervals:
(scalance)(config)# speed-test
(scalance)(speed-test)# include-reverse
(scalance)(speed-test)# server-ip <server>
(scalance)(speed-test)# server-port <port>
(scalance)(speed-test)# protocol <tcp/udp>
(scalance)(speed-test)# on-boot
(scalance)(speed-test)# time-interval <interval>
(scalance)(speed-test)# bandwidth <bandwidth>
(scalance)(speed-test)# sec-to-measure <secs>
(scalance)(speed-test)# end
(scalance)# commit apply
To configure and execute a speed test at any point in time:
(scalance)# speed-test <server> <protocol> [<bandwidth>|<include-reverse>|<sec-to-
measure>
|<server-port>]
(scalance)# end
The following command shows the number of times the uplink bandwidth report was sent to
the ALE server. To display the uplink bandwidth counter:
(scalance)# show ale stats
