Service Validation

The Service Validation tool empowers you to perform network connectivity tests for LAN, WAN, and connectivity to application servers, and display its report.

Note: Service Validation is available only to professional tiers or MSP accounts.

APs emulate virtual clients and perform the end-to-end connectivity tests (such as EAP, RADIUS, DHCP, DNS, ping, and traceroute), thereby connecting to a Wi-Fi network and the internet thereafter. The tool also performs speed tests to determine the quality of the connection.

You can create a variety of tests and save them to apply later or on-demand.

Complete the following steps to create a service validation test:

  1. Click the AI Assurance > Network Assurance > Service Validation menu option. The Service Validation page is displayed.
  2. 2. Click Create Test. The Create Test Settings page is displayed.
