Health Bar for Access Point Dashboard

The following table includes information on the various parameters of the Health Bar displayed for an access point (AP). If the AP is not online and running, not all of the following data is available.

Parameter

Description

AP Status

  • Value can be Online Since, Offline, Operating under Thermal Management, or All tunnels down.
  • If the value is Online Since, it also displays the time period, in the format of days-hours-minutes, for which the AP has been online and running.
  • When an AP operates under thermal management, the device health is displayed as Poor and the radios are in disabled mode. For more information, see Access Points in Thermal Management Mode.
  • If all the tunnels are down, and the AP is operating under thermal shutdown, the AP status in the health bar is displayed as All tunnels down, and the device health as Poor.

Device Health

  • Displays the performance of the AP in terms of the CPU Central Processing Unit. A CPU is an electronic circuitry in a computer for processing instructions. and memory usage.
  • For example, the device health is Good when the CPU usage is less than or equal to 70% and the memory usage is less than or equal to 90%. If the value of the CPU and/or memory usage falls below the threshold, the device health is displayed as Poor. If the AP is down, the value is Offline. If the scenario is not applicable, a “-” sign is displayed.
  • Hover over the Device Health status to get the exact percentage value of the memory and CPU usage.
  • If all tunnels are down, the Device Health is displayed as Poor, and hovering over the Device Health displays All tunnels down.
Radio Health

Radio health indicates the number of radios in good, poor, or disabled state and summarizes the Radio 2.4 GHz Gigahertz., Radio 5 GHz, Radio 5 GHz (Secondary), and Radio 6 GHz health details. Hovering over the Radio Health bar displays the device health, the exact value of the channel utilization, and the noise floor details.

Radio 2.4 GHz:

Radio 5 GHz:

  • Displays the performance of an AP in terms of the channel utilization and noise floor in the 5 GHz channel.
  • For example, the device health is Good when the channel utilization is less than or equal to 70% and the noise floor is less than or equal to -80 dBm. If the value of the channel utilization and noise floor falls below the threshold, the device health is displayed as Poor. If the AP is online, but the radio is down, the value displayed is Disabled. If the scenario is not applicable, a “-” sign is displayed.

Radio 5 GHz (Secondary):

  • Displays the performance of an AP in terms of the channel utilization and noise floor in the 5 GHz (Secondary) channel.
  • For example, the device health is Good when the channel utilization is less than or equal to 70% and the noise floor is less than or equal to -80 dBm. If the value of the channel utilization and noise floor falls below the threshold, the device health is displayed as Poor. If the AP is online, but the radio is down, the value displayed is Disabled. If the scenario is not applicable, a “-” sign is displayed.

NOTE: In the Radio Health page, the Radio 5 GHz (Secondary) data is available only for AP-555 and only if the tri-radio mode is enabled. For more information, see Access Points in Tri-Radio Mode.

Radio 6 GHz:

  • Displays the performance of the AP in terms of the channel utilization and noise floor in the 6 GHz channel.
  • For example, the device health is Good when the channel utilization is less than or equal to 70% and the noise floor is less than or equal to -80 dBm. If the value of the channel utilization and noise floor falls below the threshold, the device health is displayed as Poor. If the AP is online, but the radio is down, the value displayed is Disabled. If the scenario is not applicable, a “-” sign is displayed.

NOTE: The Radio 6 GHz data is only available for devices with 6 GHz capability.

Tunnels

Indicates the number of tunnels that are up and down. AP status and device health value in the health bar change according to the changes in the tunnel status.

NOTE: Tunnel status in the health bar is not available for the member of a cluster device.

Virtual Controller

Indicates if the AP is connected to a virtual controller. If the AP is connected, clicking on the virtual controller name redirects you to the Manage > Overview > Summary page for the virtual controller.
