Retrieving Radio Numbers for Clients Connected to APs

Classic Central provides an option to retrieve the radio numbers of APs through the APIs Application Programming Interface. Refers to a set of functions, procedures, protocols, and tools that enable users to build application software.. It also provides an option to filter AP details using radio numbers in the AP monitoring dashboard.

For regular APs with non-dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation., Central automatically assigns Radio 1 to 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. band and Radio 0 to 5 GHz band respectively.

To retrieve the radio numbers through API, complete the following steps:

  1. In the WebUI, set the filter to Global.
  4. Under Maintain, click Organization > Platform Integration.
  5. Under the API Gateway tile, click Rest API.

    The API Gateway page is displayed.

  6. Click the APIs tab.

    The token key is valid only for 2 hours from the time it was generated.

  7. In the All Published APIs window, click the url Uniform Resource Locator. URL is a global address used for locating web resources on the Internet. link listed under the Documentation column.

    The Central Network Management APIs page is displayed.

  8. On the left navigation pane, select Monitoring from the URL drop-down list.
  9. Click API Reference > AP.
    The following APIs allow you to retrieve the radio number for the total number of clients connected to the APs.

    API

    Description

    [GET]/monitoring/v1/aps/{serial}/neighbouring_clients

    Allows you to filter data of neighbouring clients for a specific radio number in a given time period.

    When there is no radio number entered in the radio_number field, the API filters the data of neighbouring clients for both radio 0 and radio 1. It is mandatory to provide the serial number of the AP to get the data of neighboring clients for a specific radio number.

    [GET]/monitoring/v1/aps/rf_summary

    Retrieves information on RF Radio Frequency. RF refers to the electromagnetic wave frequencies within a range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, including the frequencies used for communications or Radar signals. summary such as channel utilization and noise floor in positive, errors, drops for a given time period.

    This API can also be used to filter RF health statistics for a specific radio number in a given time period.

    When there is no radio number entered in the radio_number field, the API filters the RF health statistics for both radio 0 and radio 1. It is mandatory to provide the serial number of the AP to get the RF health statistics for a specific radio number.

    [GET]/monitoring/v1/aps/bandwith_usage

    This API can also be used to filter out bandwidth usage data for a specific radio number in a given time period.

    When there is no radio number entered in the radio_number field, the API filters the bandwidth usage for both radio 0 and radio 1. It is mandatory to provide the serial number of the AP to get the bandwidth usage for a specific radio number.

  10. On the left navigation pane, click API Reference > Client.
    The following APIs allow you to retrieve the radio number for the total number of clients connected.

    Table 2: APIs to Get Radio Number in Connected Clients

    APIDescription

    [GET]/monitoring/v1/clients/count

    This API is used to filter out the data for connected clients for a specific radio number of AP in a given time period.

    When there is no radio number entered in the radio_number field, the API filters the clients count for both radio 0 and radio 1. It is mandatory to provide the serial number of the AP to get the total count of clients for a specific radio number.
