Channel Inspector Interference Report
The Channel Inspector Interference Report enhances Smart RF on the controller by providing details
about channel interference for each radio.
To access the Channel Inspector Interference Report, select a row on the Channel Inspector widget
from the AP Smart RF dashboard.
The channel data generated from Smart RF populates the report. The report is generated from the last
channel scan. The report lists visible BSSID and SSID data with RF measurements.
Note
Smart RF data is available only when Smart RF is enabled and only for channels that are in the
Smart RF channel plan. For more information, see:
• Basic RF Management Settings on page 163
• Scan Settings for Smart RF on page 170
• Channel and Power Settings on page 165

Field Description
Interference Type Describes the channel interference in relation to the operating
channel. Possible values are:
• Co-Channel. All the APs on the same channel as the target
AP are competing. Using Distributed Control Function
(DCF) collisions are avoided because the APs know to avoid
each other; however, the more trac on the channel the
greater the chance of collisions. Throughput slows but all
packets get through.
• Adjacent. APs on adjacent channels are close enough to
interfere but not close enough to know they are interfering.
They do not have the benefit of DCF.
• Overlapping. Applicable for 40MGz and 80MGz channels
only. The 20MGz channel is designated as the primary and
the other channels are designated as secondary extension
channels. If the primary channel of one AP is the same as
the extension channel of another AP it is considered
overlapping. Overlapping is the worst type of interference.
Example Notation, Co-Channel 20 44: (5220) indicates that
there is co-channel interference on the beacon channel 5220.
Frequency Radio Frequency channels with the beacon channel (primary)
denoted with brackets. The following is an 80MHz channel
example showing [5220] as the beacon channel. 44: (5180
5200 [5220] 5240).
RSS Received Signal Strength value.
BSSID Basic Service Set Identifier. Identifies the AP.
