Enables Ekahau multicast packet forwarding. When enabled, Ekahau small, battery powered Wi-Fi tags are attached to tracked assets or assets carried by people. Ekahau processes locations, rules, messages, and environmental data and turns the information into locationing maps, alerts and reports.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP560h

Syntax

ekahau [forward ip <IP> port <0-65535>|mac <MAC>]

Parameters

ekahau [forward ip <IP> port <0-65535>|mac <MAC>]
ekahau Enables Ekahau multicast packet forwarding on this radio
forward ip <IP> port <0-65535> Enables multicast packet forwarding to the Ekahau engine
  • ip <IP> – Configures the IP address of the Ekahau engine in the A.B.C.D format
    • port <0-65535> – Specifies the TZSP (TaZman Sniffer Protocol) port on Ekahau engine from 0 - 65535

TZSP is an encapsulation protocol, which is generally used to wrap 802.11 wireless packets.

mac <MAC> Configures the multicast MAC address to forward the Ekahau multicast packets
  • <MAC> – Specify the MAC address in the AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF format.
