SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires nettools-core.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps network teams quickly determine if an AP’s wired uplink, its switch port, or PoE state is contributing to wireless issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

Evaluates AP-to-switch resolution, negotiated speed, error counters, flap history, and expected uplink configuration.
Produces structured evidence and findings such as speed mismatches or PoE instability to guide remediation.
Supports fixture-backed test mode via --fixture-file for safe testing without live devices.

Quick Start

Provide the AP identifier (and optional switch-port) to run checks and return the uplink health findings.

FAQPage Schema

How do I check AP uplink health and switch port status?▼

To check AP uplink health, provide an AP identifier to validate the switch port, negotiated speed, counters, and PoE state. This returns structured findings on speed mismatches or PoE instability to guide network remediation.

What does an AP uplink health assessment include?▼

An AP uplink health assessment includes AP-to-switch resolution, negotiated speed, error counters, flap history, and expected uplink configuration. It evaluates VLAN alignment and PoE stability to identify wired issues affecting wireless performance.

Can I test AP switch port troubleshooting without live devices?▼

Yes, you can test AP switch port troubleshooting without live devices by using the fixture-backed test mode. Provide a fixture file via the --fixture-file argument to safely run validation checks and generate outputs.

Do I need Python3 and nettools-core to diagnose AP PoE state?▼

Yes, diagnosing AP PoE state requires Python3 and the NETTOOLS core package. This Skill relies on these dependencies to evaluate uplink configurations, validate switch ports, and output a standardized JSON SkillResult with evidence.

Why does my wireless access point have intermittent connectivity?▼

Intermittent wireless connectivity may stem from AP uplink issues like speed mismatches, PoE instability, or error counters on the switch port. Diagnosing the uplink health validates the switch port and flap history to isolate the wired cause.
