Debugging the radio

One of the main advantages of the IOS CLI is the debug capabilities. This allows real-time monitoring and diagnostics. The debug options are shown in Figure .

Use the debug dot11 privileged EXEC command to begin debugging of radio functions. Use the no form of this command to stop the debug operation .

[no] debug dot11{dot11radio | aaa | events | forwarding | mgmt | network-map | packets | syslog | virtual-interface}

Use the debug dot11 dot11radio privileged EXEC command to turn on radio debug options. These options include run RF monitor mode and trace frames received or transmitted on the radio interface. Use the no form of this command to stop the debug operation .
