What information can I gather about AP's from the command line?

swike
Hi there,

We have recently deployed a large number of AP's (mainly 30's but some 50's as well) and are having some interesting issues. 

Some of these issues seem to be resolved by the occasional power cycle of the AP's that are giving us problems.

Is there any way I can grab info about the AP's from the command line of the ASG? Ie, code level, uptime, stats and so on? 

That way we might be able to baseline them and start to try and find a common thread.

Thanks in advance, Mike

    Try looking in the Wireless log.  Some of the information that you're seeking can be found there.

    Scott,

    many thanks for your reply. I've looked in the wireless logs but there is quite a lot of info there and it is hard to know what's useful or not. 

    You don't happen to know of any good resource as to how to decipher these logs? 

    For example, we got quite a lot of 'EAPOL-key timeout' for one of the SSID's on one of the AP's we had to reboot. The other SSID's seemed ok on that one though, and we get the same timeouts on other AP's without it seeming to give us the same problems.

    That's why I thought it could be interesting to compare S/W revisions, stats, uptime (if possible) to try and get an idea of what's going on.

    Cheers, Mike

    I'm also interested if there is a possibility to connect to the APs from the firewall's console.

    We also have to restart the APs sometimes. But some of them are hidden in the ceiling and there is no way to powercycle them easily.

    Today i removed one of these access points and readded it. That solved our problem.

    Problem is: Notebook gets authenticated (against NPS) but gets APIPA.

    Here's a little something from the knowledgebase:  Article - Knowledgebase - Support - Sophos

      Not currently, unfortunately.
