Cisco 9136 Series Access Points Survey Mode

To enable the Cisco Catalyst 9136 Series APs a new AP command is introduced to switch to survey mode. 

When an AP is in survey mode, the AP GUI is enabled and is used for configuring the RF parameters for site survey investigation.

To enable survey mode on an AP, run 

ap-type site-survey

The following features in the AP GUI are hidden, when the AP is in the survey mode:

WAN

Firewall
Network Diagnostics


you must switch the AP back to the CAPWAP mode, by running the

ap-type capwap

To access the AP survey mode from the GUI, you must enter the default login as 'admin' and the default password as 'admin' (both case sensitive).

When the AP is in survey mode, it broadcasts an SSID by default. The default password to connect to this SSID is 'password' (case sensitive).
