Understanding Wireless Neighborhood Information
The wireless neighborhood shows all access points within range of every
member of the cluster, shows which access points are within range of
which cluster members, and distinguishes between cluster members and
nonmembers.
For each neighbor access point, the Wireless Neighborhood view shows
identifying information (SSID or Network Name, IP address, MAC
address) along with radio statistics (signal strength, channel, beacon
interval). You can click on an access point to get additional statistics about
the access points in radio range of the currently selected access point.
The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:
 Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) access points in a wireless
domain so that you can take action to limit associated risks
 Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which access points are
visible at what signal strength from other access points, you can verify
that the deployment meets your planning goals.
 Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident
at a glance in the color coded table.
