Purge DHCP
leases
Mark this checkbox to purge existing IP addresses leased by the DHCP server. Enabling
this option means that clients might receive different IP addresses when issued by the
DHCP server.
Netstat List statistics about the network including socket status, interfaces that have been auto-
configured, memory statistics, etc. The Genmask column refers to the Netmask. The
heading uses the following codes: Proto (TCP, UDP, or ICMP), Recv-Q, Send-Q (packet
counters) Local_Address (IP and Port), Foreign_Address (IP and Port), and State.
ARP Displays the BSC's address resolution protocol (ARP) table.The ARP table lists the
mapping of Layer 2 physical addresses to Layer 3 IP addresses for all of the hosts that the
computer has learned about through ARP.
Show Processes List the status (IS running/NOT running/IS disabled) of all BSC processes. A process that
is not running has likely failed and should be restarted under Maintenance Restart
Services. A process that is disabled can be enabled through the GUI configuration.
Show Cisco
CDP Neighbors
Displays information about Cisco devices connected directly to the BSC. You must have
configured Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) passthrough and enabled the CDP “show”
feature on the BSC, as described in “Cisco Discovery Protocol Passthrough” on page 10-
25 before executing this test.
High TCP
Connection
Counts
Show IP Addresses with more than 50 connections. A mechanism to find heavy usage
applications that might put a strain on the controller, such as point-to-point applications
that can use hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of TCP connections.
Show Network
Interface
Parameters
Show the output of ifconfig, useful when remote console access is not available, for
example for a remote site.
Show BSAP
Channel
Summary
Shows a summary of AP channels, grouped by unique BG and A channel.
Show BSAP
Power Summary
Shows a summary of AP power, grouped by unique BG and A power.
Show BSAP
Hardware
Summary
Shows a group count of each AP hardware and firmware version.
Callhome to
Bluesocket
Mark this radio button to specify a Port number for Callhome connection to the support
server. The result is that an ssh port is opened back to the support IP address. Only one
user can log onto the support servers through this tunnel at any one time. Contact your
Support Representative for details prior to connecting.
Under normal circumstances, there is no tunnel to the support server and the status text on
the Diagnostics page will report the Call Home Status Connectivity as “Not Connected,”
and the Task Execution Menu page will display with the radio button “Callhome to
Bluesocket”. Upon a successful connection, the status text on the Diagnostics page reports
the Call Home Status Connectivity as “Connected on <port>”, and the radio button on the
Task Menu changes from “Callhome to Bluesocket” to “Disconnect”.
