Airwave DHCP Stats

    Hi All,

    I'm fairly new to Clarity in Airwave but I appear to be getting some crazy stats.

    Could anyone confirm what is actually being measured and if the readings are reliable?

    Airwave is frequently showing +40 second AVERAGE response times from our servers, but a wireshark on a new WiFi connection shows just a few milliseconds between DHCPDiscover and DHCPAck.

    Thanks.

    Airwave just reports what the controller sends it in AMON. If you want to dig into it, you will plenty of free time and to open a TAC case, then fight over whether it's an Airwave issue (is not) or a controller issue (is) and then setup and capture DHCP+AMON and then correlate the captures, then get a bug filed if something wrong is found.

     

    :) good luck ( I can help to direct to you if you want to tackle it yourself, just let me know.)

    Thanks dugem2016, I'll do a bit of digging myself then raise a case.

    I have a feeling that the controller is reporting Max DHCP times rather than average which would make our stats slightly less scary!  :)

    Cheers.
