Configuring Silent Client Polling


Scope

KB ARTICLE TYPE: Configuration

RELATED PRODUCTS: AP, controller

RELATED SOFTWARE VERSIONS: N/A

Solution
Use silent client polling to allow tracking information to be sent between the Controller and the APs, and between the AP and a phone that is not in a call or during power save. This feature keeps the system appraised of a client phone location if the client moves between APs while the phone is inactive.

CONFIGURATION STEPS:

GUI Steps:

Configuration >> Wireless >> ESS >> Silent Client Polling : ON/OFF >> OK.

CLI Steps:

default(config)# essid name
default(config-essid)# silent-client-enable
default(config-essid)# end
