Crash Files

Use Crash Files to assess critical access point failures and malfunctions.

Use crash files to troubleshoot issues specific to the device on which a crash event was generated. These are issues impacting the core (distribution layer). Once reviewed, files can be deleted or transferred for archive. Crash files can be sent to a support team to expedite issues with the reporting device.

To review crash files impacting the access point network:

1. Select Diagnostics > Crash Files

   The Crash Files screen displays a list of device MAC addresses impacted by core dumps.

2. Select a device from those displayed in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
