Description |
This article describes how to view broadcast and multicast traffic hitting the FortiAP. |
Scope | All FortiAP. |
Solution |
In certain cases, the FortiAP's CPU utilization is higher than normal, which results in delay and impairs network performance overall.
When the FortiAP is hitting a huge amount of traffic, there are cases when the CPU and memory on the FortiAP spike up.
For example, refer to the below commands on the FortiAP CLI:
perf CPU Load : 100% Memory Usage: 99%
To see if memory is used by daemon or kernel:
meminfo
Log in to the FortiAP CLI:
tcpdump -i eth0 ether broadcast or ether multicast |
