Chapter 7 Controlling Lightweight Access Points
Retrieving the Unique Device Identifier on Controllers and Access Points
Using DFS, the controller monitors operating frequencies for radar signals. If it detects radar signals on
a channel, the controller takes these steps:
•
It changes the access point channel to a channel that has not shown radar activity. The controller
selects the channel at random.
•
If the channel selected is one of the channels in
Table 7-2
,
it
scans the new channel for radar signals
for 60 seconds. If there are no radar signals on the new channel, the controller accepts client
associations.
•
It records the channel that showed radar activity as a radar channel and prevents activity on that
channel for 30 minutes.
•
It generates a trap to alert the network manager.
Retrieving the Unique Device Identifier on Controllers and
Access Points
The unique device identifier (UDI) standard uniquely identifies products across all Cisco hardware
product families, enabling customers to identify and track Cisco products throughout their business and
network operations and to automate their asset management systems. The standard is consistent across
all electronic, physical, and standard business communications. The UDI consists of five data elements:
•
The orderable product identifier (PID)
•
The version of the product identifier (VID)
•
The serial number (SN)
•
The entity name
•
The product description
The UDI is burned into the EEPROM of controllers and lightweight access points at the factory. It can
be retrieved through either the GUI or the CLI.
