display channel switch-record

Function

The display channel switch-record command displays channel switching records on the device.

Format

display channel switch-record { all | calibrate | ap-name ap-name radio radio-id | ap-id ap-id radio radio-id | reason reason }

Parameters

Parameter Description Value

all

Displays all channel switching records.

-

calibrate

Displays channel switching records for radio calibration.

-

ap-name ap-name

Displays channel switching records of the AP with a specified name.

The AP name must exist.

radio radio-id

Displays channel switching records of a specified AP radio.

The radio ID must exist.

ap-id ap-id

Displays channel switching records of the AP with a specified ID.

The AP ID must exist.

reason reason

Displays records of channel switching caused by a specified reason.

The enumerated values are:
  • calibration: channel switching caused by radio calibration
  • configuration: channel switching caused by configuration
  • dfs: channel switching performed to avoid radar channels
  • mesh: channel switching caused by channel negotiation on a Mesh network
  • unsupported: channel switching performed because the AP does not support the channel delivered from the AC
  • wds: channel switching caused by channel negotiation on a WDS network
  • 3gpp-bs-notification: channel switching notified by a 3GPP base station
  • iot-notification: channel switching notified by an IoT card

Usage Guidelines

You can run this command to check channel switching records on a device.

Run the display channel switch-record calibrate command to query channel or power switching records caused by radio calibration to check the calibration results.

Channels used before and after switching.

Switch reason

Reason for channel switching.
  • calibration: channel switching caused by radio calibration
  • configuration: channel switching caused by configuration
  • dfs: channel switching performed to avoid radar channels
  • dfs (In AC): channel switching caused by channel delivery by the AC to avoid radar channels
  • dfs recover: channel switching caused by DFS channel switchback

  • iot-notification: channel switching notified by an IoT card

Switch time

Time when channel switching occurred.

Description

AP ID

AP ID.

AP name

AP name.

RfID

Radio ID.

PCH/CCH

Channels before and after calibration.

NOTE:

PCH/CCH changes may be discontinuous for a radio.

PBW/CBW

Bandwidth before and after calibration.

PE/CE

Power before and after calibration.

NOTE:

PE/CE changes may be discontinuous for a radio.

PR/CR

Interference values before and after calibration.

Reason

Reason for triggering calibration.

  • Period recheck: periodic calibration
  • Bad env: environment deterioration
  • Non-Wi-Fi report: non-Wi-Fi report
  • Rogue AP report: rogue AP report
  • Noise interfere: noise interference
  • Global plan: trial operation
  • AP online: The AP radio is on, the radio is switched (between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands), the radio working mode changes, or the AP goes online.
  • AP offline: The AP radio is off, the radio is switched (between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands), the radio working mode changes, or the AP goes offline.
  • Bad Channel: The channel deteriorates, causing a loss of Beacon frames.
  • iot-notification: An IoT card notifies calibration.
  • High interfere: Severe interference occurs.
  • Unknown: unknown reason

Time

Time when calibration is triggered.

Trigger ID(Radio)

ID of the AP (radio) that triggers partial radio calibration.
NOTE:

If global radio calibration is triggered, this field displays -.
