RF Domain Health
The Health tab displays the status of the RF domain‘s device
membership.
To assess the RF domain component health:
- Expand the System node to
display RF domains.
- Select an RF domain. The Health tab
displays by default.
Refer to the following RF domain health information for member
devices:
- The Domain field lists the RF domain manager reporting utilization
statistics. The MAC address displays as a link that can be selected to display
RF domain information in at more granular level.
- The Devices field displays the total number of devices and the
status of the devices in the network as a graph. This area displays the total
device count managed by this device and their status (online vs. offline) as a
pie graph.
- The Radio
Quality table displays a table of RF quality on a per radio
basis. It is a measure of the overall effectiveness of the RF environment
displayed in percentage. It is a function of the transmit retry rate in both
directions and the error rate. This area of the screen displays the average
quality index across all the defined RF domain on the wireless controller. The
table lists worst five of the RF quality values of all the radios defined on
the wireless controller. The quality is measured as:
- 0-20 - Very poor quality
- 20-40 - Poor quality
- 40-60 - Average quality
- 60-100 - Good quality
- Select a Radio Id to view all the statistics for the selected
radio in detail.
The
Client Quality table displays RF
quality for the worst five performing clients. It is a function of the transmit
retry rate in both directions and the error rate. This area of the screen displays
the average quality index across all the defined RF domain on the wireless
controller. The quality is measured as:
- 0-20 - Very poor quality
- 20-40 - Poor quality
- 40-60 - Average quality
- 60-100 - Good quality
- Select a client to view its statistics in greater detail.
- WLAN Utilization displays how efficiently the WLANs are
used. Traffic utilization is defined as the percentage of current throughput
relative to the maximum possible throughput for the WLAN. The total number of
WLANs is displayed above the table. The table displays a list of the top five
WLANs in terms of overall traffic utilization. It displays the utilization
level names, WLAN name and SSIDs for each of the top five WLANs.
- Radio Traffic Utilization displays how efficiently the
RF medium is used. Traffic utilization is defined as the percentage of current
throughput relative to the maximum possible throughput for the RF domain. The
Traffic Index area displays an overall quality level for radio traffic and the
Max User Rate displays the maximum data rate of associated radios. The table
displays a list of the top five radios in terms of overall traffic utilization
quality. It displays the radio names, MAC Addresses and radio types for each of
the top five radios.
- Client Traffic Utilization displays how efficiently the
RF medium is utilized for connected clients. Traffic utilization is defined as
the percentage of current throughput relative to the maximum possible
throughput for the clients in the RF domain. The table displays a list of the
top five performing clients in respect to overall traffic utilization. It
displays the client names, MAC Addresses and vendor for each of the top five
clients.
- Wireless Security displays the overall threat index for
the system. This index is based on the number of Rogue/Unsanctioned APs and
Wireless Intrusion Protection System (WIPS) events detected. The index is in
the range 0 - 5 where 0 indicates there are no detected threats. An index of 5
indicates a large number of intrusion detection events or rogue/unsanctioned
APs detected.
- Traffic Statistics include transmit and receive values
for Total Bytes, Total Packets, User Data Rate, Broadcast/Multicast Packets,
Management Packets, Tx Dropped Packets and Rx Errors.
