Configuring Location Settings
Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all of the features documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to http://www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.
Information About Configuring Location Settings
The switch determines the location of client devices by gathering Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) measurements from access points all around the client of interest. The switch can obtain location reports from up to 16 access points for clients, RFID tags, and rogue access points.
You can configure the path loss measurement (S60) request for normal clients or calibrating clients to improve location accuracy.
How to Configure Location Settings

4.
location expiry {calibrating-client | client | rogue-aps | tags } timeout
5.
location algorithm {rssi-average | simple}
6.
location admin-tag string
7.
location civic-location identifier {identifier | host}
8.
location custom-location identifier {identifier | host}
9.

DETAILED STEPS
Modifying the NMSP Notification Interval for Clients, RFID Tags, and Rogues (CLI)
The Network Mobility Services Protocol (NMSP) manages communication between the mobility services engine and the controller for incoming and outgoing traffic. If your application requires more frequent location updates, you can modify the NMSP notification interval (to a value between 1 and 180 seconds) for clients, active RFID tags, and rogue access points and clients.
Note | The TCP port (16113) that the controller and mobility services engine communicate over must be open (not blocked) on any firewall that exists between the controller and the mobility services engine for NMSP to function. |

DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 |
configure terminal Example: Switch# configure terminal
|
Enters global configuration mode. |
Step 2 | nmsp

interval {attachment
seconds | location
seconds
|
rssi [clients
interval | rfid
interval | rogues [ap | client ] interval]}
Example: Switch(config)# nmsp notification interval rssi rfid 50
|
Sets the NMSP notification interval value for clients, RFID tags, and rogue clients and access points. You can enter the NMSP notification interval value for RSSI measurement from 1 through 180 seconds. |
Step 3 | end Example: Switch(config)# end
| Returns to privileged EXEC mode. Alternatively, you can also press Ctrl-Z to exit global configuration mode. |
Modifying the NMSP Notification Threshold for Clients, RFID Tags, and Rogues (CLI)
1.
configure terminal
2.
location notify-threshold {clients | rogues ap | tags } threshold
3.
end
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 |
configure terminal Example: Switch# configure terminal
|
Enters global configuration mode. |
Step 2 |
location notify-threshold {clients | rogues ap | tags } threshold Example: Switch(config)# location notify-threshold clients 5
|
Configures the NMSP notification threshold for clients, RFID tags, and rogue clients and access points. You can enter the RSSI threshold value from zero through 10 db. |
Step 3 | end Example: Switch(config)# end
| Returns to privileged EXEC mode. Alternatively, you can also press Ctrl-Z to exit global configuration mode. |
Monitoring Location Settings and NMSP Settings
Monitoring Location Settings (CLI)
This section describes the new commands for location settings.
The following commands can be used to monitor location settings on the switch.
Command |
Purpose |
show location summary |
Displays the current location configuration values. |
show location statistics rfid |
Displays the location-based RFID statistics. |
show location detail client_mac_addr |
Displays the RSSI table for a particular client. |
Monitoring NMSP Settings (CLI)
The following commands can be used to monitor NMSP settings on the switch.
Command |
Purpose |
show nmsp attachment suppress interfaces |
Displays the attachment suppress interfaces. |
show nmsp capability |
Displays the NMSP capabilities. |
show nmsp notification interval |
Displays the NMSP notification intervals. |
show nmsp statistics connection |
Displays the connection-specific NMSP counters. |
show nmsp statistics summary |
Displays the common NMSP counters. |
show nmsp status |
Displays the status of active NMSP connections. |
show nmsp subscription detail |
Displays all of the mobility services to which the switch is subscribed. |
show nmsp subscription detail ip_addr |
Displays details only for the mobility services subscribed to by a specific IP address. |
show nmsp subscription summary |
Displays details for all of the mobility services to which the switch is subscribed. |
Examples: Location Settings Configuration
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# location plm calibrating uniband Switch(config)# end Switch# show location summary
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# location rssi-half-life rogue-aps 20 Switch(config)# end Switch# show location summary
Examples: NMSP Settings Configuration
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# nmsp notification interval rssi rfid 50 Switch(config)# end Switch# show nmsp notification interval
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# nmsp notification interval rssi clients 180 Switch(config)# end Switch# show nmsp notification interval
