Uplink Bandwidth Monitoring
A W-IAP uses Iperf3 as a TCP or UDP client to run a speed test and measure the bandwidth on an uplink. The
results from the speed test are collated by the W-IAP and published to Analytics and Location Engine (ALE). The
speed tests can be run only on the master W-IAP of the cluster. You may choose to configure and execute a
speed test profile during boot time and additionally at specific time intervals using the configuration mode or
execute the speed test at any preferred time using the privileged EXEC mode in the CLI.
To configure and automatically run speed tests at specific time intervals:
(Instant AP)(config)# speed-test
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# include-reverse
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# server-ip <server>
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# server-port <port>
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# protocol <tcp/udp>
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# on-boot
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# time-interval <interval>
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# bandwidth <bandwidth>
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# sec-to-measure <secs>
(Instant AP)(speed-test)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure and execute a speed test at any point in time:
(Instant AP)# speed-test <server> <protocol> [<bandwidth>|<include-reverse>|<sec-to-measure>
|<server-port>]
(Instant AP)# end
The view the speed test results:
(Instant AP)# show speed-test data
(Instant AP)# end
Following is an example of the speed-test result
(Instant AP)# show speed-test data

The following command shows the number of times the uplink bandwidth report was sent to the ALE server.
To display the uplink bandwidth counter:
