CLI to show AP's connected devices' information

oxoyoz — Wed, 18 May 2022 23:58:00 GMT

Does anyone know the CLI that shows AP's actively connected client devices' (through wifi radios and also ethernet) information, including hostname, mac address, IP address ...etc ?
I know the WebUI only shows connected Wireless Clients, but not those connected through ethernet.
Thanks!

Hi oxoyoz, you can use the following commands
sho wireless ap on "RF-DOMAIN" -> will display all adopted APs on specific RF-Domain
sho wireless client on "AP-HOSTNAME" -> will display all Clients connected to a specific AP
sho wireless client on "RF-DOMAIN" -> will display all Clients on specific RF-Domain
sho wireless client detail "CLIENT-MAC" -> will display more details about the Client

I hope that's what you're looking for.
Stay safe,
Tobias

show mac-address-table will show all clients and other devices on your network.
But for ethernet devices that all you can see.

BTW: With the "customize" command you can change the CLI output for some commands, e.g.:

customize hostname-column-width 18
customize show-adoption-status ap-name version config-status ip-addr adopted-by last-adoption uptime cdp-lldp-info
customize show-wireless-client hostname radio-alias radio-type ip mac vendor wlan state last-active auth enc
customize show-wireless-client-stats hostname mac rx-bytes rx-errors rx-packets rx-throughput tx-bytes tx-dropped tx-packets tx-throughput t-index
customize show-wireless-client-stats-rf hostname mac signal noise snr tx-rate rx-rate average-retry-number error-rate retry-percent q-index

E.g. sometimes is better to have the AP-name + radio instead of the radio MAC address in the CLI output...

Thanks. Tobias and Angelo.

show mac-address-table gave me the connected devices' mac address on all interfaces.

However, this command line doesn't give me other details such as IP address, vendor and state for the devices. Any command to output these values, as well?

Hello Oxoyoz,
The output you are looking for is not available on the Wing Controller/AP. If the controller (and/or virtual controller) is utilizing onboard DHCP server feature, from the enable prompt, the following command will provide mac address, IP address, and expiration time of the wired/wireless clients.

show ip dhcp binding

You can obtain the mac addresses of all wired/wireless clients deployed and add the mac address with a friendly name, to identify by vendor or user, via the rf-domain using the following command:

mac-name xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx yyyyyyyy (x represents the client mac and y represents the friendly name to be used for this mac address.
