Sorry mate, Forgot to ask.
From the RRM doco
1. Controllers (whose APs need to have RF configuration computed as a single group) are provisioned with the same RF Group Name. An RF Group Name is an ASCII string each AP will use to determine if the other APs they hear are a part of the same system.
2. APs periodically send out Neighbor Messages, sharing information about themselves, their controllers, and their RF Group Name. These neighbor messages can then be authenticated by other APs sharing the same RF Group Name.
3. APs that can hear these Neighbor Messages and authenticate them based on the shared RF Group Name, pass this information (consisting primarily of controller IP address and information on the AP transmitting the neighbor message) up to the controllers to which they are connected.
4. The controllers, now understanding which other controllers are to be a part of the RF Group, then form a logical group to share this RF information and subsequently elect a group leader.
5. Equipped with information detailing the RF environment for every AP in the RF Group, a series of RRM algorithms aimed at optimizing AP configurations related to the following are run at the RF Group Leader (with the exception of Coverage Hole Detection and Correction algorithm which is run at the controller local to the APs):
DCA
TPC
In points 2 and 3, how are these neighbor messages sent over the RF domain? Are they IP packets ?? I have a wifi packet capture sniffer, and would like to see these messages so I can identify them?
Many thx indeed for all the help,
Ken
