  • 1.  monitor access point temperature

    Posted Sep 16, 2024 03:11 AM
    Hi,
    We hope to monitor the access point operating temperature and found "show ap debug radio-info" have provide the temperature information :
    May I know how many degrees does the number 56(0x38) represent?

    That particular sensor isn't available on all APs.  That number is probably degrees Celsius.

    The board/CPU temperature is the important factor for the AP.  The AP will automatically go into thermal shutdown when the operating temperatures are exceeded.

    That's right. This is a platform specific thermal parameter that's not very meaningful to track as a general "AP temperature". Which component temperature(s) we track and what the thresholds are for thermal shutdown varies by AP platform.
