HI Vijay,

To display access point channel utilization metrics, use the show 802.11 cu-metrics command.

show 802.11{ a | b} cu-metrics cisco_ap

Hi Sandeep ,

Thanks for the quick response. But It is giving error " CU Metrics : Traffic stream metrics is disabled on this band. Please enable it first" on both bands.

show advanced 802.11a monitor

Hi Sandeep ,

show advanced 802.11b monitor is not ginving the info on channel util.  I  am able to see the chnnel util by " show ap auto-rf 802.11b AP_name" . But Can I see the utilization for all the AP's in single command?

(WLC) >show ap auto-rf 802.11a

Normally this commands give the channel utilization for specif AP:

Use the WLC config analyzer and input the WLC(s) show run-config and that will show you all the AP's utilization, client count, etc.

The show run-config has all this information that the config analyzer can parse. It's a good tool to have if you don't have WCS/NCS or Prime.

Thanks a lot Mr.Scott for the info.

No problem. The command that Sandeep mentioned will also get you information on a specific AP.
