Network Diagnostics
The functionalities of the Network Diagnostics tab are as follows:
•
Speed Test
—The Speed test feature calculates both the download and upload speeds (DTLS and
non-DTLS) between the controller and the AP. It provides the network speed with DTLS and
Non-DTLS connections.
Using the Speed Test feature you can determine the non-DTLS throughput of the system, by running
a speed test on demand. This allows for root cause failure analysis and debugging of network
bottlenecks.
•
Link Test
—The Link test provides the link latency and the jitter values. Link latency monitors the
round-trip time of the CAPWAP packets (echo request and response) from the access point to the
controller. The round-trip time is calculated in milliseconds. The jitter value is then calculated using
the link latency values. Jitter is the amount of variation in latency/response time, in milliseconds.
•
Network Diagnostics Last Run
—Shows the details of the last run diagnostics along with its
timestamp.
Note
You can run the Speed and Link tests from the AP’s GUI, the controller’s GUI, and the controller’s CLI.
