Controller Device

The Device screen provides detailed information about the selected device within the controller, service platform managed system.

To view system device statistics:

  1. Select the Statistics tab from the Web UI.
  2. Expand the System node on the top, left-hand side of the screen. The System node expands to display the RF Domains created within the managed network.
  3. Expand an RF Domain node, and select one its connected Wireless Controller/Service Platform.
  4. Select Device from the left-hand side of the UI.
The System field displays the following:

Secondary Version Displays the secondary version string.
FGPA Version Displays the FGPA version string.
PoE Firmware Version Displays the version of the PoE (Power Over Ethernet) firmware if the PoE feature is available.
The AP Licenses field displays the following license information for access points:
AP Licenses Displays the number of AP licenses currently available on the controller or service platform. This value represents the maximum number of licenses the controller or service platform can adopt.
AP Adoptions Displays the number of APs adopted by this controller or service platform.
AP License Displays the license string of the AP.
The AAP Licenses field displays the following license information for adaptive access points:
AAP Licenses Displays the number of AAP (adaptive access point) licenses currently available. This value represents the maximum number of licenses the controller or service platform can adopt.
AAP Adoptions Displays the number of AAPs adopted by this controller or service platform.
AAP License Displays the license string of the AAP.
The Additional Licenses area displays the following information:
ADSEC Displays the number of Advanced Security licenses. This enables the Role Based firewall and increases the number of IP Sec VPN tunnels. The maximum number of IP Sec VPN tunnels varies by platform.
WIPS Displays the number of WIPS licenses utilized by the controller or service platform.
Hotspot Analytics Displays whether an advanced hotspot analytics license is in use and applied to the controller or service platform.
The IP Name Servers table displays the following:
Name Server Displays any custom Name Server mappings on the controller or service platform.
Type Displays the type of DNS mapping, if any, on the controller or service platform.
The IPv6 Name Servers table displays the following:
Name Server Displays any custom IPv6 formatted IP address Name Server mappings on the controller or service platform.
Type Displays the type of DNS mapping, if any, on the controller or service platform.
The IPv6 Hop Limit table displays the following:
Hop Limit Lists the maximum number of times IPv6 traffic can hop. The IPv6 header contains a hop limit field that controls the number of hops a datagram can be sent before being discarded (similar to the TTL field in an IPv4 header).
The IPv6 Delegated Prefixes field displays the following:
IPv6 Delegated Prefix If IPv6, prefix delegation is used to assign a network address prefix, configuring the controller or service platform with the prefix.
