Configuring Direct Report of AP KPI Information

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run wlan

   The WLAN view is displayed.

3. (Optional) Enable the device to collect wireless device location data.

   This configuration is required when the device needs to report wireless device location data to a WMI server for customer flow analysis.

   1. Run location-profile name profile-name

      A location profile is created, and the location profile view is displayed.

      By default, no location profile is created.

   2. Run collect-location-data enable

      The device is enabled to collect wireless device location data.

      By default, the device does not collect wireless device location data.

   3. Run collect-location-data rssi-threshold rssi-threshold

      The RSSI threshold for wireless device location data is configured.

      The default RSSI threshold for wireless device location data is -75 dBm.

   4. Run quit

      Return to the WLAN view.

4. Run wmi-server name profile-name

   A WMI profile is created and the WMI profile view is displayed.

   By default, no WMI profile is created.

5. Run server ip-address ip-address port port

   The destination IP address and port number are configured for APs to report KPI information.

   By default, no destination IP address or port number is configured for APs to report KPI information.

   Set ip-address ip-address to the IP address of a WMI server.

6. (Optional) Run keepalive { interval interval | retry-interval retry-interval | retry-number retry-number } ^*

   Connection parameters between APs and a WMI server are set.

   By default, the heartbeat interval is 3 minutes, the reconnection interval is 5 minutes, and the number of reconnection attempts is 0.

   The value 0 indicates that the server and APs always attempt to reconnect to each other.

7. (Optional) Run max-packet-size size

   The maximum data length of KPI information sent by APs to a WMI server is specified.

   By default, the maximum data length of KPI information sent by APs to a WMI server is 5 KB.

8. (Optional) Run report-interval interval

   The interval for APs to report KPI information to a WMI server is specified.

   By default, APs report KPI information to a WMI server at an interval of 60 seconds.

9. (Optional) Run collect-item { application-statistics-data | cpcar-data | device-data | emdi-data | interface-data | log-data | neighbor-device-data | radio-data | ssid-data | terminal-data } { interval interval | disable } or collect-item { location-data | terminal-dhcp-option-data | terminal-http-ua-data | terminal-mdns-data } { interval interval | enable }

   Whether APs report collected data to a WMI server is configured, and the data collection interval is specified.

   By default, APs report all types of collected data to a WMI server. The data collection interval varies depending on the data type, as listed in Table 1, and the default values are recommended.

   Table 1 Default settings of the data collection interval

   Data Type	Default Data Collection Interval (Unit: Second)
   Site guest data	300
   CPCAR data	300
   Device monitoring data	10
   Enhanced Media Delivery Index (eMDI) data	10
   Interface monitoring data	60
   Wireless device location data	60
   Log data	300
   Radio data of neighboring wireless devices	60
   Radio monitoring data	10
   SSID monitoring data	60
   STA data	10
   DHCP option information about STAs	300
   UA information in the HTTP packets sent by STAs	300
   Service information in the mDNS packets sent by STAs	300

   You can run this command multiple times to configure APs to report different types of data to a WMI server.

10. Run quit

    Return to the WLAN view.

11. Run ap-system-profile name profile-name

    An AP system profile is created, and the AP system profile view is displayed.

    By default, the system provides the AP system profile default.

12. Run wmi-server profile-name index index

    The WMI profile is bound to the AP system view.

    By default, no WMI profile is bound to an AP system profile.

13. Run quit

    Return to the WLAN view.

14. Bind an AP system profile to an AP group or AP.
    • Binding an AP system profile to an AP group.

      1. Run ap-group name group-name

         The AP group view is displayed.

      2. Run ap-system-profile profile-name

         The AP system profile is bound to the AP group.

         By default, the AP system profile default is bound to an AP group.

      3. (Optional) Run location-profile profile-name radio { radio-id | all }

         The location profile is bound to the specified radio.

         By default, no location profile is bound to a radio.

         This configuration is required when the device needs to report wireless device location data to a WMI server for customer flow analysis.

    • Binding an AP system profile to an AP.
      1. Run any of the following commands:

         • ap-id ap-id
         • ap-mac ap-mac
         • ap-name ap-name

         The AP view is displayed.

      2. Run ap-system-profile profile-name

         The AP system profile is bound to the AP.

         By default, no AP system profile is bound to an AP.

      3. (Optional) Run location-profile profile-name radio { radio-id | all }

         The location profile is bound to the specified radio.

         By default, no location profile is bound to a radio.

         This configuration is required when the device needs to report wireless device location data to a WMI server for customer flow analysis.
