Description
From Station
Shows the number of packets and bytes received from the wireless client and the number
of packets and bytes that were dropped after being received. Also shows the number of
packets:
•) in excess of an admitted TSPEC.
•) for which no TSPEC has been established when admission is required by the AP.
To Station
Shows the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the AP to the wireless client and
the number of packets and bytes that were dropped upon transmission. Also shows the
number of packets:
•) in excess of an admitted TSPEC.
•) for which no TSPEC has been established when admission is required by the AP.
Table 11 -
TSPEC Client Associations
Link Integrity Monitoring
The UAP provides link integrity monitoring to continually verify its connection to each associated client. To do this,
the AP sends data packets to clients every few seconds when no other traffic is passing. This allows the AP to detect
when a client goes out of range, even during periods when no normal traffic is exchanged. The client connection
drops off the list within 300 seconds if these data packets are not acknowledged, even if no disassociation message is
received.
Viewing Rogue AP Detection
The status page to view
Rogue AP Detection
information provides real-time statistics for all APs within range of the
AP on which you are viewing the Administration Web pages. When AP detection is enabled, the radio will periodically
switch from its operating channel to scan other channels within the same band. Click
Refresh
to update the screen
and display the most current information.
The
Rogue AP Detection
page contains the following two lists:
•)
Detected Rogue AP List — Lists all APs within range of the AP that have not been acknowledged as known APs.
•) Known AP List — Lists all APs within range of the AP that have been acknowledged as known APs either by
clicking the
Grant
button associated with an AP in the Detected Rogue AP List or by appearing in an imported
AP list.
To view information about other access points on the wireless network, click the
Rogue AP Detection
tab.
