Hight channel Utilization

Hi @Jamiewyc ,

Once the DCS is activated, the AP will automatically scan and select the optimal channel in an environment with minimal interference. This eliminates the need for manual channel configuration to mitigate co-channel interference.

Regarding the MAC address displayed on the channel analyzer, it presents the BSSID, whereas Nebula accurately reflects the hardware's MAC address. For instance, in case there is no LAN port on AP, if the hardware MAC address is AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA, then the BSSID for the first SSID on radio 1 (2.4GHz) will be AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AB, and for the first SSID on radio 2 (5GHz), it will be AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AC. This is based on the rule that the BSSID for the first SSID of radio 1 is the hardware MAC address incremented by 1 in the hexadecimal system, and for radio 2, it's incremented by 2.

There is some rules apply to other BSSIDs of the AP, However, for a detailed view of the BSSID for each AP, we recommend using the following CLI commands is easy to users:

To check the BSSID of radio1: show wlan slot 1 detail

To check the BSSID of radio2: show wlan slot2 detail

Hi @Jamiewyc ,

We continue to recommend the DCS function for its functionality and convenience. However, if you wish to disable specific bands on individual APs, please refer to the CLI provided below.

Router> enable


Router# configure terminal


Router(config)# wlan-radio-profile RADIO_SETTING_TYPE_2


Router(config-wlan-radio RADIO_SETTING_TYPE_2)# no activate

Please note that to identify the radio profile name, you should refer to the configuration, which can potentially be accessed via the CLI using the command "show running-config”. Btw, the configuration will be overwritten if the AP re-receive the configuration from Nebula due to changing anything else related to radio setting.

Additionally, can we raise a feature request to show these MAC addresses in Nebula?
