How to get Neighbors List to populate?

New to Cambium but really finding the products solid so far! (I’m a Ubiquiti guy…)

One question: I just set up an E600 at home and am going through the config areas to become familiar. I can’t figure out how to populate the Neighbors List area. Screenshot:

I know for sure there are a ton of neighboring APs around since I live in a dense urban area and can see them on all my devices. I assume maybe I need to enable this somewhere but I can’t find it. Anyone got a tip?

Hi @cireddy are there any logs etc I can submit to help debug this problem? Thank you

what is the AP firmware version ? Neighbors list is populated when OCS is enabled.

meanwhile if you have access to AP CLI, try " show wireless neighbors" command in the CLI, the output of this command is shown in the cnMaestro.

Hi,

Please enable OCS in radio option in AP group. Enable for 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz radio if you need neighbors on both radios .Uploading image for configurations. After enabling OCS wait for 5 mins. Please lets us if not working and upload your configuration

@Anandakrishnan and @Raghavendra_N

Yes, thank you. After enabling OCS the neighbor list is populated. Is there a performance penalty for enabling this option? I haven’t done much testing but would like to know, and if so what is the least impactful value to use.

Thank you again.

Hi Luke,
Enabling OCS will have performance impact , but it would not be significant since OCS happens only at the configured interval.

Hi Luke,

Enabling OCS won’t impact much performance but very little. AP does OCS in very 6 seconds for a period of 50ms ( default time OCS scan interval & OCS dwell time to 50 ms).
