How/What is logged/Tracked on Aruba 3400 Controller

[alc]

Question

I have a customer that is working with an Aruba 3400 controller and wants to setup/know what can be tracked/logged on the controller. The customer wants to know when someone (admin) logs on to the controller and also logs from the wireless activity. The customer would like some type of notification is something goes wrong on the controller and it can't reach a Radius server for example. How do you set this up?

Answer

run the following command : show audit-trail

- For radius, I would recommend that you have redundancy between to servers that way if one fails you don't have to worry about that

- If you have Airwave you can setup the alerts you if a controller/APs fails :
