Description
Show the association table for an AP.
Syntax
Parameter Description
ap-name <ap-name>
Show AP associations for a specific AP. You can also include the
essid, phy or voip-only keywords to further filter the output of this
command.
bssid <bssid>
Show the AP associations for an specific AP Basic Service Set
Identifier (BSSID). The Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is usually
the AP’s MAC address.
ip-addr <ip-addr>
Show AP associations for a specific AP by entering an IP address in
dotted-decimal format. You can also include the essid, phy or voip-
only keywords to further filter the output of this command.
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 bssid 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.
