Viewing Devices in the Summary View

The Summary view is a card-based layout that provides you with a graphical representation of the site-level device information.

To navigate to the Summary view, complete the following steps:

1. In the HPE Aruba Networking Central landing page, select a site from the Sites menu.

   Alternatively, you can click the expand icon on the Sites menu to search for a site from the list.

   The site dashboard is displayed with the network and connectivity information for the site.

2. In the site context, click Network.

   The List view is displayed on the site dashboard. See Viewing Devices in the List View

3. Click the summary icon.

   The Summary view is displayed.

The Summary view displays the following cards:

• LAN

• Top Access Points

• Services

• Radios

• WLANs

LAN

The LAN card displays the count of devices at a site in good, fair, and poor health using icons. The count is grouped based on the device type and device health.

Figure 1: LAN Card

Listed below are the device health icons displayed in the LAN card.

Table 1: Device Health Icons

Icon	Description
	The devices are in good health based on the device metrics.
	The devices are in fair health based on the device metrics. For example, an AP is in fair health when one or more radio metrics of the AP such as the channel utilization, noise floor, and channel quality is fair.
	The devices are either offline or in poor health based on the device metrics. For example, an AP is in poor health when it is either offline, or when one or more AP metrics such as the CPU, memory, radio channel utilization, radio noise floor, and radio channel quality is poor.

Top Access Points

The Top Access Points card displays the top 5 access points based on insights such as AP wired uplink usage, wireless client usage, and the total usage (in bytes) for a given site. The APs are listed based on data for the last 3 hours. By default, the temporal filter is set to Last 3 hours.

The radio bands (such as 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) and wired/wireless usage is displayed through distinct colors on the card. Clicking on the AP name takes you to the respective AP dashboard.

Figure 2: Top Access Points Card

In the drop-down of the temporal filter, you can change the timescope by selecting one of the following options:

• Last 3 hours

• Last 1 day

• Last 7 days

• Last 30 days

Changing the timescope refreshes the top access points with the most usage in the specified period.

Services

The Services card displays the health, service type, and IP address of the available network services at a site.

Figure 3: Services Card

Listed below are the service health icons displayed in the Services card.

Table 2: Service Health Icons

Icon	Description
	The service is in good health.
	The service is in fair health based on certain service parameters.
	The service is either offline or in poor health based on certain service parameters.

To view all the services, click the expand icon in the Services card. The following image shows the expanded view of the Services card.

Radios

The Radios card displays the following information:

• The number of radios by band—The total number of radios available in the site. It consists of a donut chart which represents the distribution of radios by band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz). Hovering over a section of the donut chart displays the number of radios in that frequency band in a tooltip.

• The number of radio channel changes by reason—The total number of changes made to the radio channel. It consists of a donut chart which represents the distribution of reasons why the radio channel was modified. Hovering over a section of the donut chart displays the number of times a radio channel change took place for a specific reason in a tooltip.

• The number of radio transmit power changes by reason—The total number of changes made to the radio transmit power. It consists of a donut chart which represents the distribution of reasons why the radio's transmit power was modified. Hovering over a section of the donut chart displays the number of times a radio's transmit power change took place for a specific reason in a tooltip.

Figure 5: Radios Card

By default, the temporal filter is set to Last 3 hours.

In the drop-down of the temporal filter, you can change the timescope by selecting one of the following options:

• Last 3 hours

• Last 1 day

• Last 7 days

• Last 30 days

Changing the time period refreshes the donut chart for the channel changes and the power changes in the specified period.

Expanded Radios Card

To view more information about the radio distribution, click the total number of radios at the center of the donut chart, or click the expand icon.

On the expanded radios card page, by default, you can see the Radio, Channel Changes, and Power Changes tabs in the list view. To switch to the summary view, click the summary icon to see the Channel and Power Distribution tabs.
