11.2 Crash Files
Diagnostics
Use Crash Files to assess critical access point failures and malfunctions.
Use crash files to troubleshoot issues specific to the device on which a crash event was generated. These are issues impacting
the core (distribution layer). Once reviewed, files can be deleted or transferred for archive. Crash files can be sent to a support
team to expedite issues with the reporting device.
To review crash files impacting the access point network:
1. Select Diagnostics.
2. Select Crash Files.
The crash files screen displays a list of device MAC addresses impacted by core dumps.
3. Select a device from those displayed in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.

event.
