Usage Guidelines

When a STA is authenticated or successfully associates with an AP, the AP sends system logs to the NMS server. A system log contains the MAC addresses of the STA, AP, and AC, AP name, AC name, current time, and authentication result.

A STA retries continuously after it fails to associate with an AP or pass the authentication. When this occurs, the AC sends a large number of logs in a short time. This results in a high statistics failure rate and degrades the NMS performance. The system log suppression function reduces impact of such logs on the NMS. After the period of system log suppression is set, the AC will send only one system log to the NMS server during the suppression period, reducing the load on the server.

Example

# Set the period of system log suppression to 600s.
