Debug options on cisco controller

[Wifi_Eshwar92]

Hello All,

We have issues with scanners as they are randomly disconnects to server while operating. This issue is completely random due to which we could not take debug in real time. Is there any option to take debug of a client if we enable it on controller? I mean i will store 1 of the scanner mac in debug and i will get all logs from the controller after issue reoccured. Then i will match with time stamp to understand what is going on.

You can do that by issueing "debug client 'scanner´s mac address'.  The problem is that if your session drops, your debug will eventually stops.

However, programmatically is very simple. You can create a script to look for the scanners mac address every minute. 'show client summary'

 If mac address in WLC, then, perform 'debug client 'scanner´s mac address' and then send to a file.

 This way you dont need to keep a SSH session open.
