Technical Note: Collecting buffered station log from controller

[riteshpv]

Description

This article explains how to collect buffered station log for a particular clients or for all clients.

Solution

Command to collect buffered station log for all clients:

Controller# station-log show all

Command to collect buffered station log for particular client

Controller# station-log show –mac

For example:

Controller# station-log show –mac 00:0c:ac:bd:cd:dd

These commands can be used to see the station log for a client that is offline (connected initially and has disconnected) or online.

Notes 

1.)  This is a buffered log so if the buffer is full then the new client station log will overwrite the buffered station log and it may not be possible to see the logs for the client connected initially (older stations).

2.)  The buffered station log will only be generated if the station was connected at least once.
