Questions regarding Nearby AP statistics and Assisted Roamin Predicition list details

Hello Cisco-WLAN-experts,

 

we are  troubleshooting right now Apple devices on Cisco WLAN and I'm wondering about the

statistics shown under "show client detail MAC" in the WLC-CLI running version 7.4.130

Unfortunately there is no help nor actual screen-shot showing the correct output of this command

in the Command-reference guide for this release.

 

Here is an example output cutted with only the interesting lines:

 

Client MAC Address............................... 00:24:d7:a3:59:8c
Client Username ................................. host/NLNIECND1124FP2.corp.skf.net
AP MAC Address................................... 64:d8:14:36:af:70
AP Name.......................................... NLERC2K_AP05 

Channel.......................................... 48    
    

      Radio Signal Strength Indicator............ -54 dBm
      Signal to Noise Ratio...................... 43 dB

Nearby AP Statistics:
     NLERC2K_AP05(slot 0)
        antenna0: 121 secs ago................... -46 dBm
        antenna1: 121 secs ago................... -53 dBm
      NLERC2K_AP05(slot 1)
        antenna0: 56 secs ago.................... -50 dBm
        antenna1: 56 secs ago.................... -58 dBm
 
      NLERC2K_AP03(slot 0)
        antenna0: 121 secs ago................... -80 dBm
        antenna1: 121 secs ago................... -76 dBm
      NLERC2K_AP03(slot 1)
        antenna0: 56 secs ago.................... -75 dBm
        antenna1: 56 secs ago.................... -77 dBm

      NLERC1C_AP07(slot 0)
        antenna0: 525 secs ago................... -87 dBm
        antenna1: 525 secs ago................... -89 dBm

      NLERC2K_AP01(slot 0)
        antenna0: 121 secs ago................... -82 dBm
        antenna1: 121 secs ago................... -87 dBm
      NLERC2E_AP07(slot 0)
        antenna0: 122 secs ago................... -85 dBm
        antenna1: 122 secs ago................... -87 dBm
 
     NLERC1J_AP05(slot 0)
        antenna0: 121 secs ago................... -78 dBm
        antenna1: 121 secs ago................... -79 dBm
      NLERC1J_AP03(slot 0)
        antenna0: 121 secs ago................... -85 dBm
        antenna1: 121 secs ago................... -92 dBm
      NLERC1T_AP02(slot 0)
        antenna0: 121 secs ago................... -96 dBm
        antenna1: 121 secs ago................... -93 dBm
      NLERC1T_AP03(slot 0)
        antenna0: 121 secs ago................... -94 dBm
        antenna1: 121 secs ago................... -95 dBm

 

The command shows Nearby AP Statistics and I would like to know:

Are the shown dBm-values the values measured by the WLAN Client itself showing how it sees the WLAN APs ?

Or are these values derived from the WLAN APs and show how good or bad they see the client ?

 

Here again the values for the connected AP which seems to be using 5GHz-band:

 

AP Name.......................................... NLERC2K_AP05     
Client State..................................... Associated  

Channel.......................................... 48  

      Radio Signal Strength Indicator............ -54 dBm
      Signal to Noise Ratio...................... 43 dB

Nearby AP Statistics:
     NLERC2K_AP05(slot 0)
        antenna0: 121 secs ago................... -46 dBm
        antenna1: 121 secs ago................... -53 dBm
      NLERC2K_AP05(slot 1)
        antenna0: 56 secs ago.................... -50 dBm
        antenna1: 56 secs ago.................... -58 dBm

 

A second question regarding the output for assisted roaming:

Assisted Roaming Prediction List details:
 [0]=78  [1]=51  [2]=53  [3]=58

 

Is someone familiar with this cryptographic outout and can explain the sense behind it to me ?

 

Thank You for comments in advance.

I know it was a long time ago but wondering if you go the answer to this?

Back to the top....trying to resurrect this one to see if anyone has an answer for the Nearby AP Statistics question.

 

Is this from the AP's perspective or from the client's perspective?
