MONITORING WIRELESS CLIENTS
Introduction The AP keeps statistics of its transactions during operation. These statistics indicate
traffic, transmission success, and the existence of other radio network devices.
Clear statistics as needed.
Wireless Clients Wireless Client statistics provide information on wireless clients associated with
an AP. The statistics include information on data sent and received, activity and
association. A wireless client shows only in the Home/Foreign Agent Table screens
when the wireless client has roamed to another AP on a different subnet. Once a
wireless client has roamed, the wireless client IP Address displays on the Home
Agent Table screen of the wireless client’s home AP with the IP Address of the
Foreign Agent to tell the “home” AP where to forward packets.
The wireless client IP Address is also shown in the Foreign Agent Table and Regular
screens of the new “foreign” AP to tell the new AP where to expect packets from
for newly associated wireless clients. The AP Regular screen shows the wireless
clients associated locally on the same subnet.
