I recently worked on a project where the customer was trying to track BLE asset tags using the Juniper/Mist location solution. I know that we can leverage the WebSocket API from Mist to be able to retrieve close-to-realtime location data, so I wrote a quick script before going onsite one day to test it out. [...]
Naming cable notes in Ekahau is quite a manual process. You have to enter your note description at the end of drawing the cable note on the map. What I like to do on my projects is rename the cable notes in the following way: "IDF-1 to AP01". We then re-use this description in our [...]
In this blog post, we will see how we can make a simple API Call to the Mist cloud in order to have all APs, supporting a Wi-Fi network, broadcast their name. We usually enable this feature when we are about to do a Wi-Fi site survey. This allows us to see the AP names [...]
When you change the type of external antenna used by an AP in Ekahau, the name of the AP model is not updated to reflect that new external antenna name: So this simple script aims to update the name of the AP models in order for them to reflect the name of the external antenna [...]
Ekahau released a new version (v10.2) last month. The best feature out of this new version (for me at least) is the ability to create personalized tags for AP objects. Each tag can have a key and a value. Here is an example: DESCRIPTION My good friend Haydn Andrews had the idea to create a [...]
I have been using the python library called pySerial and wanted to share how I made it work on my end. I have used it to establish a console connection to a Cisco AP in order to perform send the initial set of configurations within a python script and automate the process. I will only [...]
I wanted to play around and see how I could automate the process of preparing a Cisco AP for an APoS site survey. So I decided to try it out on a Catalyst 9120 running IOS-XE. In this article, I will explain how to use the script. You can find the script on my GitHub: [...]
Modern internet browsers (such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox) are equipped with advanced developer tools. We can actually leverage some of these tools to take a look at which API calls are made behind the scene when you view or modify settings of your favourite Wi-Fi network cloud plarform. To illustrate this feature, we will make [...]
In a first video, I explain everything you need to create your first API call to the Mist system dashboard. In order to make this API call, I use an application called Postman. Postman allows you to build your API calls in a very easy way. This is useful to test the API calls, make [...]
When I perform Wi-Fi validation or Wi-Fi assessments, I like to take pictures of the access points and document it later. I also save these pictures and provide them to the customer. Lately, with the use of the Ekahau survey application on iPad, I have been attaching these pictures to an AP object on my [...]
