Question

How to find the Transmit power (TX power) of an AP in Standalone/Solo or ZD managed mode?

Customer Environment

Root Cause

Resolution

The transmit (Tx) power of an Access Point can be verified using either of the following two CLI?based methods:

Method 1: Verify Tx Power Using AP CLI. Determine the current transmit power configured on an AP using AP CLI commands.

Steps:

Log in to the AP CLI.
Run the following command:
Shellget txpower <WLAN-name>Show more lines

Example:
rkscli: get txpower wlan8

This command displays the transmit power currently configured for the specified WLAN.

Method 2: Determine the current transmit power of AP radios in dBm via the ZD CLI.

This method displays the actual transmit power values when Tx power is set to Auto, Max, or Min.

Steps:

Log in to the ZD CLI using an SSH client.

Execute the following commands:

ruckus> en

ruckus# debug

ruckus(debug)# rksap_cli -A -s "iwconfig"

The output provides the AP MAC address along with the corresponding transmit power values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios, displayed in dBm.

Tx Power Reference:

The following values indicate how transmit power levels relate to full power:

Max = Full power
Half = ?3 dB
1/4 = ?6 dB
1/8 = ?9 dB
