    • Poor- The health status is displayed as Poor when any one of the following scenarios is observed:
      • the controller itself is down.
      • at least one of its uplinks has poor health score.
      • 10% or more of the APs are Down.
    • Fair - The health status is displayed as Fair when when any one of the following scenarios is observed:

at least one of its uplinks has a fair health score.

1% or more (less than 10%) of the APs are Down.

Good- The health status is displayed as Good if APs and WAN Wide Area Network. WAN is a telecommunications network or computer network that extends over a large geographical distance. uplinks are up.

Unknown- The health status is displayed as Unknown when the health status of the controller cannot be identified as good, fair, or poor.
