AP Health Checks

The AP Health check feature uses ping probes to check reachability and latency levels for the connection between the AP and the managed device. The recorded latency information appears in the output of the show ap ip health-check command. If the managed device IP address becomes unreachable from the AP uplink, this feature records the time that the connection failed, and saves that information in a log file (tmp/ap_hcm_log) on the AP.

This feature is disabled by default, and is enabled by selecting the Health Check option in the AP system profile. For details see Optional AP Configuration Settings.
