Table 1. Wireless Dashboard Column Headings
Column Heading	Description
Name	Displays the name assigned to each available WLAN.
Status	Lists each WLAN's current status as follows: : enabled and available to clients on all radios where the WLAN has been mapped : disabled or shut down – if the WLAN is mapped to radios, it is not available for clients to associate either Disabled or Enabled. A green check mark defines the WLAN as available to clients on all radios where it has been mapped. A red "X" defines the WLAN as shutdown, meaning even .
SSID	Displays the SSID assigned to the WLAN when created or last modified.
Encryption	Displays the name of the encryption type each listed WLAN is using to secure its client membership transmissions. None is listed if encryption is not used within this WLAN. Refer to the Authentication column to verify that there is some sort of data protection used with the WLAN or risk using this WLAN with no protection at all.
Authentication	Displays the name of the user authentication scheme each listed WLAN is using to secure its client membership transmissions. None is listed if authentication is not used within this WLAN.

VLAN(s)	Lists each WLAN's current VLAN mapping. Mapping a WLAN to more than one VLAN is permitted. When a client associates with a WLAN, the client is assigned a VLAN by load balance distribution. The VLAN is picked from a pool assigned to the WLAN. Keep in mind however, typical deployments only map a single VLAN to a WLAN. The use of a pool is strictly optional.
Forwarding Mode	Lists each WLAN‘s current bridging mode as either: Local: VLAN traffic is bridged locally Tunnel: a shared tunnel is used for bridging the WLAN‘s VLAN traffic The default setting is Local.
