aeroscout server
Function
The aeroscout server command sets the port number for APs to report location packets of AeroScout tags and Mobile Units (MUs).
The undo aeroscout server command deletes the configured port number for APs to report location packets of AeroScout tags and MUs.
By default, no port number is configured for APs to report location packets of AeroScout tags and MUs.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
port port-num |
Specifies a port number through which APs report location packets of AeroScout tags and MUs when APs are configured to directly report data. Specifies a port number through which the AC reports location packets of AeroScout tags and MUs when the AC is configured to forward data. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 1025 to 65535. |
via-ac |
Indicates that the AC forwards location packets of AeroScout tags and MUs reported by APs to the AeroScout server. NOTE:
If the APs directly report the received tag and MU packets to the AeroScout location server, the display wlan location statistics aeroscout command cannot display location statistics about the AeroScout tags and MUs. |
- |
ac-port ac-port-num |
Specifies the destination port number on the AC to which APs report location packets of AeroScout tags and MUs. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 1025 to 65535. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
Location packets of AeroScout tags and MUs received by APs can be reported to the AeroScout location server directly or through the AC.
Precautions
You cannot configure a port number that has been occupied by other services. Otherwise, the destination port configuration fails.
For the same location method, via-ac can be configured only in one profile. If via-ac has been specified in the current location profile for a specific location method, it cannot be specified in other profiles for the same location method.
An AeroScout server proactively establishes connections with APs. Therefore, manually add the APs and specify their MAC addresses, port numbers, and IP addresses on the AeroScout server. If the AC is configured to forward location data, you only need to specify the AC IP address. You do not need to specify the IP address of the AeroScout server on the AC.
Follow-up Procedure
If the AC is configured to forward location packets to the location server, run the source ip-address ip-address command to configure the source IP address for the AC to send packets to the location server and run the aeroscout local ip-address ip-address command to configure a local IP address for the AC to receive packets from the location server.
