Network Monitor

The Network Monitor scaffold displays information regarding the status of AP's, along with channel information for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. The operator is also able to see that status of any Ping Targets configured, SNMP Trap messages, along with Health Notices.

The above pie chart displays information on the % of AP's that are online/offline, the channels used for 2.4ghz/5ghz and what percentage of AP's are on each channel.

Wireless Clients

The Wireless Clients scaffold displays the current devices connected to the wireless network. The IP field displays the client devices IP address. The MAC field displays the MAC address of the client device. The Hostname field displays the hostname of the device if known. The Login Session field displays the current login session for the device which is the account name followed by the devices IP address. The Account field displays the account the client device is attached to. The Device OS field will dispaly the OS of the client device if known. The VLAN field displays the VLAN pool the VTA assigned to the device comes from, if applicable. The Tag field displays the VLAN that is assigned to the client device. The TX rate and RX rate fields displays the transmist and recieve rate for the client device. The Channel field displays the wireless channel of the AP the client device is connected to. The Access Point field displays the AP the client device is connected to. The WLAN field displays the SSID the client device is connected to. The Controller field displays the wireless infrastructure device that is managing the AP the client device is connected to. The Status field displays the status of the client device. The SNR is the difference between the received wireless signal and the noise floor. The RSSI field is a measurement of how well the device can hear a signal from the AP, closer to 0 being better. The Download and Upload fields display the ammount of data that the client device has download/uploaded during the current login session.

Wired Clients

The Wired Clients scaffold displays the current devices connected on the wired infrastructure. The IP field displays the client devices IP address. The MAC field displays the MAC address of the client device. The Hostname field displays the hostname of the device if known. The Login Session field displays the current login session for the device which is the account name followed by the devices IP address. The Account field displays the account the client device is attached to. The VLAN field displays the VLAN pool the VTA assigned to the device comes from, if applicable. The Tag field displays the VLAN that is assigned to the client device. the Port field displays the phisical port the device the device is connected to, while the Switch scaffold displays the name of the switch as configured in the Network::Wired infrastucture device. The Link Speed field displays the speed the link has.

Ping Targets

The ping targets scaffold configures the third-party ping targets that are used to determine uplink availability. Each uplink should have more than one ping target associated with it in order to properly determine uplink health.

The name field is an arbitrary string descriptor used only for administrative identification. Choose a name that reflects the purpose of the record. This field has no bearing on the configuration or settings determined by this scaffold.

The target is the IP address of the device that is to be sent an ICMP ping.

The timeout is the number of seconds that the rXg will wait for a response from the target to an ICMP ping request.

The attempts is the number of times an ICMP ping will be tried before the ping target is considered to be down.

The note field is a place for the administrator to enter a comment. This field is purely informational and has no bearing on the configuration settings.

Speed Tests

Speed Tests allow the operator to setup period speedtest to monitor the speed of a specific uplink, as well as speedtests from different points of the network, via an internet based speedtest and also using iperf3 to monitor the local network infrastructure. The Name field displays the name of the speedtest. The Type field displays the type of speedtest being run, speedtest.net or iperf3. The Passing field displays if the test was a success or failure. The Last result field will display the last test that was run, if it passed and the speeds of the test. The Thresholds field displays the conditions that need to be met in order the test to be deemed a success. The Schedule field displays how often the test is performed. The Last Checked field displays the date and time of the last check, while the Next check field displays the date and time of the next check. The Uplinks field displays the uplinks that the test was run against. The Location Areas field displays any location areas that were selected to run the test from.

Speed Test Results

The Speed Test Results scaffold gives the operator a history of speed tests results. The Initiated field displays the date and time the test was performed. The Passed field displays if the test passed or failed. The Type field displays the type of test performed. The Source field displays the IP address that was used at the time the test ran. The Destination field shows the server that the test ran against. The Download and Upload fields display the results of the test. The Speed Test field displays the name of the Speed Test that was run. The Uplink field will display the uplink that was used for the test if applicable. The Source Device field will display the device that was used for the test if applicable. The Access Point field displays the AP used for the test if applicable.

SNMP Traps

The SNMP Trap table will display information relating to SNMP messages captured by the rXg.
