source, it displays the first one it receives, which may not
always be from its link partner.
Furthermore, the AirCheck G2 does not reliably receive
this switch port information when it is linked with
another switch in between, instead of linking directly to a
managed switch that emits these types of packets. Most
of these managed switches send these packets as soon
as they detect link establishment, which they cannot do
in this case. However, they may retransmit this
information periodically, which AirCheck G2 receives and
displays if it can.
NOTE: The switch name may be truncated if it exceeds
the length of the field.
DHCP: Indicates whether or not a DHCP address was
obtained.
Default Gateway: Indicates whether or not AirCheck G2 can
ping the default gateway.
Network: Indicates whether or not AirCheck G2 can
successfully reach a user-defined network target via Ping or
TCP Port Open test. This function can verify connectivity to a
wireless controller, for example. See “AutoTest Settings,”
page 118.
Link-Live: Indicates whether or not test results were
successfully sent to the Link-Live Cloud Service.
Stop: While the test is running, select this button to stop the
test.
Restart: After the test has completed (or you've stopped the
test), select the Restart button to start a new test.
DHCP Log: Select this button to view the test log.
Save: Tap this button to save a session file containing
the discovery and test results that have been collected since
the AirCheck G2 last refreshed. See “Saving Session Files and
Packet Captures,” page 95.
Comment: Tap this button to edit the Test Comment or
Job Comment to be uploaded to Link-Live and associated
with your test result. See “Adding Comments,” page 36.
