You can use the Wireless client time-out length (seconds) field to specify a minimum connection time, to
exclude cases in which a roaming client might be changing from one interface to another. Normally, this
time is the same as the client age-out setting on the switch.
This report displays the following information:

Unconnected Client Report
The Unconnected Client Report helps diagnose why a client cannot connect to the network by listing
clients not currently in the data forwarding state. This report can also show any client trying to access
your network maliciously.
When a client is roaming from one interface to another, it shows on the new interface temporarily as not
connected. However, the client may not truly be in the unconnected state, because it may still be
connected on the old interface. It should be considered an unconnected client only if it is unconnected
for longer than the wireless client time-out interval, which you can specify for this report.
To view a summary of clients that are not in the data forwarding state, click the Wireless Reports link
in the left-hand panel, and then click the Unconnected Clients link. Figure 226 shows example output.
