After adding a Cisco 2700 Series Location Appliance (location appliance) to the Cisco WCS database,
you can independently modify the client, rogue access point, and asset tag histories that the location
appliance collects from its associated Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers. You can also program the location
appliance to periodically prune duplicate data from its historical files to reduce the amount of data
stored on its hard drive. Note that Cisco WCS users can display the location appliance historical data at
any time.
1. In the Cisco WCS interface, select LOCATE to display the All Location Appliances page.
2. Click the desired Server Name to have Cisco WCS display the Location Appliance > General
Properties > <LocAppliance Name> page.
3. In the left navigation bar, click History Parameters to have Cisco WCS display the Location
Appliance > History Parameters > <LocAppliance Name> page.
4. Set the following:
- Archive for: Enter the number of days for the location appliance to retain a history of
each enabled category between 1 and 30 days, default = 30. This number can be
changed from the default to meet Cisco WCS users’ needs.
- Prune data starting at: Enter the number of hours and minutes (between 0 and 23
hours, and between 1 and 59 minutes) for the location appliance to collect historical
data before starting pruning, and enter the number of minutes between each pruning
operation (between 0, or never, and 99900000). Default start = 23 hours and 50
minutes, and interval =1440 minutes. This number can be changed from the default to
meet Cisco WCS users’ needs.
- Client Station History and Interval: Select the check box to turn Historical data
collection on, and enter the number of minutes between Historical data storage events
between 1 and 99999, default = History Collection disabled and a 360 minute interval.
You may want to leave Client History Collection off, and you may want to change the
History Collection Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data
collection, respectively.
Note: Before the location appliance can collect Asset Tag data, its associated Cisco
Wireless LAN Controllers must have the following command entered in their CLI
interfaces: config rfid status enable.
