|
Client Connectivity – Example Summary Display shows an example of information displayed for a client-connected access point (AP) and the Wireless LAN (WLAN) with which it is associated.
Client Connectivity – Summary Display Description describes the information displayed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| AP | |
| MAC Address | Displays the MAC address of the wireless client's connected AP. |
| BSS | Displays the MAC address of the Basic Service Set (BSS) to which the AP belongs. A BSS is a set of stations that can communicate with one another. |
| Hostname | Displays administrator-assigned hostname of the AP reporting client stats to RF Domain member devices. |
| Wireless | |
| SSID | Displays the SSID assigned to the WLAN. |
| QoS | Identifies the WLAN QoS policy setting. |
| WLAN | Displays the name assigned to the WLAN when it was created. |
| TPC Power | Displays the transmit power control (TPC) mitigation value (in dBm), if it is configured. Transmit power is configured for radio interface. A value of 0 (zero) in this field indicates that Smart RF manages the power. |
| Type |
Displays the radio type. The possible radio type values include:
|
| Channel Width | Displays the current channel width versus the maximum possible channel width (shaded in gray). |
Client Connectivity – Example of Security Display shows an example display of Security information for the selected wireless client.
Client Connectivity – Security Display Description describes the information displayed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Encryption |
Identifies the encryption scheme, as defined in WLAN Security settings. |
| Authentication |
Identifies the authentication scheme, as defined in WLAN Security settings. |
| Hotspot | |
| Authenticated | Indicates whether the client successfully authenticated by guest access |
| Captive Portal | Indicates whether a Captive Portals policy is enforced on the WLAN connected to an AP that is deployed as a public hotspot. |
| Oauth Source | Identifies the source of how the user is oauthed using social media login. Possible sources include Facebook, Google, Twitter, Linkedin, or None. |
| Role | |
| Name | Displays the assigned user Role Name in a Role policy that is applied to the AP. |
| Policy | Displays the name of the Role policy that is applied to the AP. |
Client Connectivity – Example Session Display shows an example display of Session information for the selected wireless client.
Client Connectivity – Session Display Description describes the information displayed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | Displays the duration (in seconds) of the last active session between the wireless client and its connected AP. |
| Session Timeout | Displays the duration for which a session can be maintained by the wireless client without it being disassociated from its connected AP radio. |
| Idle Timeout | Displays the Inactivity Timeout setting of the Captive Portal policy applied to the AP. |
| Last Successful Association | Displays the duration the wireless client was in association with its connected AP. |
Client Connectivity – Example Capabilities Display shows an example Capabilities display for the selected client.
Client Connectivity – Capabilities Display Description describes the information displayed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Short GI | Indicates whether Short Guard Interval is enabled for the radio. |
| RIFS | Indicates whether RIFS (Reduced Interframe Spacing) parameters are configured for the radio. |
| RRM | Indicates whether RRM (Radio Resource Management) settings are configured for the WLAN. |
| MIMO | Indicates whether MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple input multiple output) is configured for the radio. MU-MIMO is disabled by default. |
| HT Capable |
Indicates whether clients with higher throughput (802.11n clients) are prioritized over clients with slower throughput (802.11 a/ b/g) clients. Prefer HT Clients is disabled by default under Advanced settings for the radio. |
| MBO | Indicates whether Multi Band Operation is enabled or disabled (default) for the WLAN. |
| BSS Fast Transition | Indicates whether Fast BSS Transition is enabled or disabled (default) for the WLAN. |
| PMF | Indicates whether Protected-management-frames (PMF) enforcement is enabled for the WLAN. |
| TX Beamforming | Indicates whether transmit beamforming is enabled for the radio.
Note: This feature is enabled on the radio interface using CLI
command transmit-beamforming.
|
Client Connectivity – Example Power Management Display shows an example Power Management display for the selected client.
Client Connectivity – Power Management Display Description describes the information displayed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| PSP |
Indicates whether PSP (Power Save Poll ) mode is enabled or disabled.
Power Save Poll is a protocol that helps to reduce the amount of time a radio needs to be powered. PSP allows the WiFi adapter to notify the AP when the radio is powered down. The AP holds any network packet to be sent to this radio. |
| WMM-PS/UAPSD | Indicates whether WMM-PS (WMM Power Save)/U-APSD (Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery) is enabled or disabled. The WMM Power Save mechanism (enabled by default) is applied through a Radio QoS policy. See Radio QoS Policies for details. |
| Spatial Multiplexing PS | Displays whether this feature is enabled on the wireless client. The SM (spatial multiplexing) power save mode allows an 802.11n client to power down all but one of its radios. This power save mode has two sub modes of operation: static operation and dynamic operation. |
Client Connectivity – Aggregation shows an example of an Aggregation display.
Client Connectivity – Aggregation Display Description describes the information displayed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| AMPDU Size | Displays the maximum size of AMPDU (in bytes). AMPDU is a set of Ethernet frames addressed to the same destination wrapped in an 802.11n MAC header. AMPDUs are used in noisy environments to provide reliable packet transmission. |
| AMPDU Min Spacing | Displays the time interval between two consecutive Ethernet frames (in uSec). |
| AMSDU Size | Displays the maximum size of AMSDU frame size (in bytes). AMSDU is a set of Ethernet frames addressed to the same destination that are wrapped in a 802.11n frame. |
