Event Log:
 

Start Display at Index

Enter the event with which you want the event log to begin.

Max Number of Events to Display

Enter the number of events you want displayed on the event log.

Index

Sequentially numbers the events in the event log from the oldest to the newest.

Time

Displays the time stamp that was recorded with the event. The displayed format is chosen on the Event Log: Configuration Options page. The time stamp format displayed is dependent on the time stamp format that was selected at the time the event occurred. Three time stamp formats are supported:

  • System Uptime - The length of time the system was operational when the event occurred. Initially, the length of time is displayed as number of seconds, increasing to minutes, days, and weeks. For example, 1w0d represents 1 week and 0 days.
  • Global Standard Time - The time of day the event occurred in UTC time. This time is recorded as Month dd hh:mm:ss.usec and the three-letter time zone (UTC). The system clock must be set for this time stamp to work.
  • Local Time - The time of day the event occurred in the local time zone. This time is recorded as Month DD hh:mm:ss:usec and three-letter time zone. The system clock must be set for this time stamp to work.

Severity

Lists the severity of the event as follows:

  • Emergency (level 0 severity) - The system is unusable.
  • Alert (level 1 severity) - An immediate action is required.
  • Critical (level 2 severity) - The conditions are critical.
  • Error (level 3 severity) - Error conditions are recorded.
  • Warning (level 4 severity) - A warning message indicates a potential error condition.
  • Notification (level 5 severity) - Normal operation is occurring but significant conditions could result.
  • Informational (level 6 severity) - An Information message provides routine information on normal activity and does not indicate an error.
  • Debugging (level 7 severity) - Debugging messages are provided.

Description

Gives a description of the error event.

Note: The radio MAC address appears in the the access point event log. When a client roams from an access point (such as, access point alpha) to another access point (access point bravo), a message appears in the event log on access point alpha stating that the client roamed to access point bravo. The MAC address that appears in the event message is the MAC address for the radio in access point bravo instead of the Ethernet port in access point bravo.

The table below lists the CLI error and event messages. It describes the error and event, provides an explanation, and recommends an action for each message.

Association Management Messages

DOT11-3-BADSTATE: [mac-address] [chars] [chars] -> [chars]

802.11 Association and management uses a table-driven state machine to keep track of and transition an association through various states. A state transition occurs when an association receives one of many possible events. When this error occurs, an association received an event that it did not expect while in this state.

The system can continue but may lose the association that generates this error. Copy the message exactly as it appears and report it to your technical service representative.

Proxy Mobile IP Subsystem Messages

PMIP-3-REG_FAIL: Mobile Node 10.4.1.3 mobile ip registration failed

When a mobile node (MN) moves to a foreign network, the access point registers the MN to its home agent. This message indicates that the registration failed.

Check for correct configuration of Mobile IP agents and the access point.

PMIP-3-REG_AUTH_FAIL: Mobile Node 10.4.1.3 registration failed due to authentication failure

When a mobile node (MN) moves to a foreign network, the access point registers the MN to its Home Agent. This message indicates that the registration failed because the home agent or foreign agent failed to authenticate each other or the mobile node.

Make sure the correct authentication information is configured on the home agent, the foreign agent, and the access point.

PMIP-3-REG_FA_FAIL: Mobile Node 10.4.1.3 registration failed due to Foreign Agent denial

When a mobile node (MN) moves to a foreign network, the access point registers the MN to its Home Agent. This message indicates that the registration was denied by the Foreign Agent.
