VAP Status
—Shows the clients associated with a specific VAP on a D-Link Access Point
•
Statistics
—Shows statistics about wireless clients that are associated with APs managed by the switch and contains
the following information:
-
Association Summary—Shows the statistics for a wireless client while it is associated with a single AP.
-
Session Summary—If a wireless client roams among different managed APs, the switch can track the statistics for
the entire session.
-
Association Detail—Shows additional information about packets the associated client transmits and receives during
association with a single managed AP.
-
Session Detail—Shows additional information about packets the associated client transmits and receives during a
session, which can include statistics for one or more managed AP associations if the client has roamed.
Since the associated client database supports roaming across APs, an entry is not removed when a client disassociates
from a specific AP. After a client has disassociated the entry is deleted after the client times out. You configure the timeout
value in the Client Roam Timeout field on the
WLAN > Administration > Advanced Configuration > Global
page. The
timeout value corresponds to the time allowed for roaming to another managed AP.

wireless clients. A client authentication record, as identified by username and password, contains vendor-specific attributes
