Command History
Usage Guidelines During the antenna alignment test, the radio disassociates from its parent, probes adjacent wireless
devices, and records the MAC address and signal strength of responses it receives. After the timeout, the
radio reassociates with its parent.
You display the last 10 results using the show dot11 antenna-alignment command, which lists the MAC
addresses and signal level for devices that responded to the probe.
