You can set APs to flash their LEDs (under Manage> Tools), and then note which ones are still deployed when you see the light flashing. You could also check the uptime on the AP or the number of clients connected to it on the Manage tab within ExtremeCloud IQ. There are also reports available in Dashboard> Reports to see the top used APs.

Thank you Sam for the reply. Sorry I should have mentioned - I mean client mac addresses that I have added to the mac filter. Not APs mac addresses. I'm already getting a messages that the group has reached the max number of mac addresses - 256 i think so I can't add anymore. I know that almost half of them addresses are old devices that we don't use anymore but I'm not sure how to check which mac addresses have not been used for some time.

Thank you for clarifying. In that case, if you go to Manage> Clients, you can see what MAC addresses have logged on recently using the Historical view within the page. Is that more what you were looking for?

Hi Sam,

DO you mean: Monitor > Clients > Wireless Clients? We are on hive manager classic.

Yes, that is the equivalent page in HiveManager Classic, my apologies for the confusion.
