SolutionThe Access
point’s flash logs may contain stale information which may not
be necessary while troubleshooting. Often, they may confuse us with too
many information if we are looking for a particular
problem.
The command used to erase the flash log
memory is:
ap > file
areaerase
logk0
ap>
file areaerase
logk1
The
above commands have to be entered on the AP prompt. It is not feasible
to enter the above commands on all the APs in a large network. Please
follow the below procedure to clear the flash logs on all the APs
connected to a controller.
Note: All the APs have to
be rebooted once for this to take
effect.
Procedure:
1.
Create a notepad file with the below contents and save it with a file
extension .scr
file areaerase
logk0
file
areaerase
logk1
For
example, let’s name the file as
flasherase.scr
2. Login to the CLI interface of the
controller.
3. Go to the directory ATS/Scripts by
entering the below command
#cd
ATS/scripts
4. Upload the
flasherase.scr file to the controller using ftp or tftp. The CLI
commands are:
#copy
ftp://anonymous:anonymous@<FTP server ip
address>/flasherase.scr
.
#copy
tftp://<TFTP server ip address>/flasherase.scr
.
5. Once done you can find it
under “dir” output.
6. Type the
below command for the script to take
effect:
MC3200(15)# configure
terminal
MC3200(15)(config)#
boot-script flasherase.scr
7. You
can verify under “show controller” to see what
script is in use.
8. Reboot the APs and wait for the
APs to come up.
9. When all the APs are online go
ahead and remove the boot script using the
command:
MC3200(15)# configure
terminal
MC3200(15)(config)#
no
boot-script
