To run troubleshooting commands on the devices, complete the following steps:

1. From the app selector, click Maintenance > Troubleshooting. The Troubleshooting page opens.

2. Select a device category.

To troubleshoot an AP, click the Access Points tab.

To troubleshoot a Switch, click the Switches-MAS or Switches-Aruba tab.

To troubleshoot a controller, click the Controllers tab.

3. Select the devices for which you want to run diagnostic checks or troubleshooting operations. Table 1 describes the fields and filtering parameters available on the Troubleshooting page:

Table 1: Contents of the Troubleshooting Page

Data Pane Item	Description
Access Points	Allows you to run troubleshooting commands on Instant APs. To run diagnostic checks, select the Instant APs from the AP Name drop-down.
Switches-MAS Switches-Aruba	Allows you to run the troubleshooting commands on a Switch. To run diagnostic checks, select the Switches from the Switch Name drop-down.
Controllers	Allows you to run troubleshooting commands on controllers. To run diagnostic checks, select the controller from Controller-Name drop-down.
Troubleshooting	Allows you to select one of the following options: Tools—Provides a list of basic troubleshooting tools to verify network connectivity and latency issues. Commands—Allows you to select a specific set of CLI commands to run on the selected devices for diagnostics and troubleshooting purposes.
Tools	Allows you to run the following diagnostic tools on the selected devices: Ping—Sends ICMPInternet Control Message Protocol. ICMP is an error reporting protocol. It is used by network devices such as routers, to send error messages and operational information to the source IP address when network problems prevent delivery of IP packets. echo packets to the IP addresses of the selected devices to check for latency issues. Traceroute—Tracks the packets routed from a network host. Speed-Test—Runs a speed test to measure network speed and bandwidth. The speed-test diagnostic tool is available only for Instant APs. For speed-test diagnosis, you must provide the Iperf server address, the protocol type, and speed-test options such as bandwidth. LED Chassislocate—Activates the Switch locator LEDLight Emitting Diode. LED is a semiconductor light source that emits light when an electric current passes through it.. The locator LED indicates the physical location where an Aruba Switch is currently installed. This option is not available for the Mobility Access Switches. POE Bounce—Restarts the PoEPower over Ethernet. PoE is a technology for wired Ethernet LANs to carry electric power required for the device in the data cables. The IEEE 802.3af PoE standard provides up to 15.4 W of power on each port. port and the device that is either connected to the PoE port or powered by it. This option is available only for the Aruba switches. Interface Bounce—Restarts the port interface and forces a client to re-initiate a DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network.  request. This option is available only for the Aruba switches.
Commands	Category—Allows you to select a category. The troubleshooting commands are segregated under the following categories: Access Points Wireless Security Network Airgroup System ARMAdaptive Radio Management. ARM dynamically monitors and adjusts the network to ensure that all users are allowed ready access. It enables full utilization of the available spectrum to support maximum number of users by intelligently choosing the best RF channel and transmit power for APs in their current RF environment.

4. If you have selected the Tools option, enter the required input parameters such as the host name, IP address, protocol details, and other required options to perform a diagnostic health check.

5. If you want to run the troubleshooting commands on the devices:

a. Select a command category and select the commands.

b. Click Run. The command output is displayed in the output pane.

6. To set a frequency for automatically running the troubleshooting commands:

a. Click Auto Run.

b. Specify an interval for running the troubleshooting commands. You can also specify how frequently the commands must be run during a given interval.

c. Click Start.

7. To clear the command output, click Clear All.

8. To export the command output as a zip file, click Export All.

9. To send the output as an email, click Email and add email recipient details.

After you run troubleshooting commands on devices, Aruba Central displays the command output in the output pane of the Troubleshooting page.

The output pane shows a list of devices on which the troubleshooting commands were executed, the CLI commands that were executed on the devices, and time stamp of command execution.

The output pane also allows you to filter a command output. For example, if you enter DPIDeep Packet Inspection. DPI is an advanced method of network packet filtering that is used for inspecting data packets exchanged between the devices and systems over a network. DPI functions at the Application layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and enables users to identify, categorize, track, reroute, or stop packets passing through a network. in the Filter text box, only the command output with the DPI text is displayed.
