Hello Long,

As Timo said, this is a passive element that does not provide any information itself. Running the command: >show wireless radio detail will provide you with some information, but never the model of the antenna itself.

You can run the command: #help search antenna to see what command options are provided for antennas.

You will have to enter the information yourself for example:
#self
#int radio 1
# service antenna-type ?

You would try to "ask" the AP, what antenna is connected? Not possible, antenna is a passive element. You can't get any information from the AP about the antenna.

It's the other way, you need to inform the AP, what antenna gain you have connected.
