Usage Guidelines

The AC needs to query performance statistics (such as AP and radio performance statistics, and STA association information on APs) from APs. The ap data-collection enable command can enable an AC to periodically query data on APs and buffer obtained data. Upon next data query, the AC can directly search for data in the buffer but does not need to wait for APs to return data. This greatly reduces timeout for querying AP-related statistics.

If there are a large number of APs and users on the AC, this function may occupy many memory resources and affect performance. Therefore, you are advised to disable this function when statistics query is not required.

After the undo ap data-collection enable command is executed, the AC stops periodically obtaining data from APs. Historical data in the buffer is not updated. To query latest statistics, enable this function again.

Example
