Checking wireless information

Check wireless connections, stations, and interfaces when the problem is not caused by a physical interface.

Troubleshooting station connection issues

To check if a station entry is created on access control in the CLI:

FG600B3909600253 # diagnose wireless-controller wlac -d sta

* vf=0 wtp=70 rId=2 wlan=open ip=0.0.0.0 mac=00:09:0f:db:c4:03 rssi=0 idle=148 bw=0 use=2

vf=0 wtp=70 rId=2 wlan=open ip=172.30.32.122 mac=00:25:9c:e0:47:88 rssi=-40 idle=0 bw=9 use=2

Enabling diagnostics for a specific station

This example uses the station MAC address to find where it is failing:

FG600B3909600253 # diagnose wireless-controller wlac sta_filter 00:25:9c:e0:47:88 1

Set filter sta 00:25:9c:e0:47:88 level 1
