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.
(host) #show ap association client-mac 00:13:fd:5c:7c:59
Flags: W: WMM client, A: Active, R: RRM client
PHY Details: HT: High throughput; 20: 20MHz; 40: 40MHzss: spatial streams
