Monitoring
Examples 3WXM provides many monitoring options. The section “Management
and Monitoring” on page 43 provides an overview of all the monitoring
tools available to you.
This section describes how you can use some of the monitoring tools to
determine problems that are typically reported to a network operator.
The monitoring examples described in this section are based on the
following scenarios:
„
An individual user calls the help desk with the complaint that the
network is very slow or inaccessible
„
A group of users complain about network performance
„
You want to monitor and eliminate a rogue AP
Monitor an Individual
User
If an individual user notifies you with the complaint that the network is
very slow or inaccessible, use the following steps to identify the problem:
1 Find the user. Place the user on a watch list.
2 Locate the user. (If you can locate them, then the scope of the problem
can be narrowed down to performance.)
3 View the user’s network activity.
