Floor Plans

You can add floor plans to a location in CV-CUE.

You can then drag and drop APs onto the floor plan, and perform some operations on the AP from the floor plan. This helps when you want to perform some operations on an AP somewhere on the floor — for example, you might want to view the packet trace history of an AP near a user who has problems connecting to the network. You can then right-click the AP on the floor plan to view its packet trace history.
Note: At any location in CV-CUE, you can see a card view of only the floor plans of that location and those of its immediate child locations. You will not see floor plans of locations that are further down in the location hierarchy. For example, suppose that "Town" is a child location of "West Region", which is in turn a child location of "HQ". Then, when you go to Floor Plans on HQ, you will see a card view of only the HQ and West Region floor plans, and not those of Town.


You can import an image or a ".spm" file as a floor plan. A ".spm" file is an Arista Planner file. Arista Planner is a tool that allows you to model obstacles and generate heat maps for coverage, link speed, etc. The ".spm" file contains a model of the obstacles on the floor — for example walls, glass partitions, and doors. This gives you a better picture of the floor. This chapter contains the following topics:
