Status Visualization

Controller is equipped with powerful device status monitoring function, which can monitor the working status of switches and wireless APs in real time. Through the detailed dashboard display, administrators can grasp the operating status of the equipment at any time. Based on the acquired monitoring information, the controller evaluates various indicators and intelligently calculates the health value of each device. The health value is evaluated by considering the following factors:

• Resource utilization: Based on the memory and CPU utilization, evaluate the use of device resources and whether there is a risk of resource exhaustion.
• Traffic load: Based on traffic statistics, analyze the load of the device and determine whether there is a traffic bottleneck.
• Hardware Status: Monitor the temperature of each component of the device, the operation of the power supply, fan and other hardware, whether it is within the expected range.
• Running status: detect the running status of each major process and container of the device in real time.

When the monitoring index exceeds the preset threshold, the controller will automatically generate an alarm message to notify the administrator to ensure that the administrator can find and solve the problem in a timely manner to ensure the efficient, safe and stable operation of the network.

The controller supports full volume calculation of monitoring data from all online devices, and finally presents them globally as a comprehensive health value.

Organization Dashboard

Administrators can enter the specific organization in the [Navigation] screen to view an overview of the status of devices and terminals under all premises within the organization. You can also adjust the display cards according to your own preferences.

Venue Dashboard

Administrators can enter a specific organization on the [Navigation] view to view an overview of the status of devices and terminals under all venues within the organization’s scope, and it supports clicking to jump to the selected terminal. Users can adjust the display cards according to their own preferences.

Terminal Status Visualization

The controller supports collecting data of wired and wireless terminals online and visually presenting the status of online users. After entering a specified organization/venue, administrators can click [Client] to view information of all terminals under the organization/venue.

Click on the MAC address of the terminal to enter the detailed view and view detailed data such as the online trend, associated AP trend, SNR trend, and traffic statistics of the terminal. This helps administrators analyze the network connection status of the terminal within a specific time frame.

• SNR Trend

  The SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) trend of the terminal is a key dynamic indicator for measuring the quality of the wireless communication link. The baseline value is 25dB. A value lower than this indicates poor signal quality.

• Traffic Statistics

  Rx represents the amount of data received from the network or other devices, and Tx represents the amount of data sent from the device to the network or other devices.

Health Checks

The initial health check value for both the switch and the AP is 100%.

• Health check calculation specification for the switch: CPU utilization over 80%, soundness reduced by 10% Memory utilization over 80%, soundness reduced by 10% Switch chip/CPU temperature over 85°C, soundness reduced by 10% PSU any one power supply status abnormality (power module not in position, power supply not powered), soundness minus 10% Service detection: any critical business service abnormality, soundness minus 10%
• AP Health Check Calculation Rule: interface can successfully detect the DHCP/DNS server information is normal interface, integrity = normal interface/total number of interfaces.

MAC

The MAC address table (CAM table) of the switch records the mapping relationships between the MAC addresses learned by the switch, ports, and VLANs.

• VLAN: The VLAN ID to which the MAC address belongs, used to identify different broadcast domains.
• MAC: The learned device MAC address (source MAC address).
• Interface: The switch port corresponding to the MAC address (EthernetXX: Physical port, PortChannelXXXX: Link aggregation group).
• Type: Item generation method (Dynamic: Automatically learned by monitoring data frames; Static: Manually configured by the administrator)。
• Neighbor information (ARP)

This table is the neighbor discovery table of the switch (NDP for IPv6/ARP for IPv4), which records the IP-MAC mapping relationship of devices directly connected to the local switch.

• IP address: IP address (IPv4/IPv6) of the neighbor device
• Family: IPv4 or IPv6 protocol type
• MAC: The physical address of the neighbor device
• Interface: The port of the local switch connected to this neighbor
• VLAN: The virtual local area network where the communication takes place
• Type: Dynamic (automatic protocol learning) or Static (manual configuration)
