Title: Reading the Logs for a DIR 615
Post by: davidwayne1967 on December 10, 2009, 04:39:07 PM

Greetings,

I am trying to understand what the logs tell me so I can be sure that my network is secured. Can anyone direct me to information on understanding what all is written in the logs. I am new to wireless networking and have just recently set-up a DIR 615 in my home. An example would be " Dec 10 18:11:14 DIR-615 user.notice kernel: Wireless system with Mac address ##:##:####:##:##:## disassociate reason 8 " - Perhaps I am just being a little paranoid but having the information makes me feel a little more at ease.

Thanks

Dave

Honestly, I don't think we'll ever know what these dissasociate reason # are all about
I get a ton of dissasociate reason 7 with my x360 and moments after, it drops out of xbox live.
Here's a link to CISCO's wireless LAN manual, it defines above reasons... though...

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/3.2/configuration/guide/c32err.html (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/3.2/configuration/guide/c32err.html)
Table D-2 Client Reason Code Descriptions and Meanings  

It doesn't explain much as to the reasoning behind it, but maybe someone else can chime in.

Oh yea, YOU MIGHT WANT TO REMOVE THE MAC ADDRESS FROM POST
