Description
Show the association table for an AP group or for an individual AP.
Syntax
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to check if user is connected to an AP. This command validates whether the client is
associated and indicates the last AP to which it was connected. If the flags column shows an 'A', the client is
currently associated with that AP. Alternately, if the client is not currently associated, the AP with the smallest
value of association time is the last AP used by the client.
Example
Use the show ap association client-mac command to verify that a user has associated with an AP, or to determine
last AP to which the client was connected. The output of this command in the example below shows the
association table for the client with the MAC address 00:13:fd:5c:7c:59. If the flags column in the output of this
command shows an 'A', the client associated last to that AP. Alternately, the AP with the smallest value of
association time is the last AP to which the client had associated.
In the example below, the output of this command has been broken into two separate tables to better fit this
page. In the actual output of the command, this information is shown in a single, wide table.
