Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide
The Sessions page shows information on client stations associated with access
points in the cluster. Each client is identified by its MAC address, along with the
access point (location) to which it is currently connected.
When accessing the Cluster - Sessions page, a maximum of 20 clients are reported
per radio. To see all the associated clients, access the Client Associations page of
the access point.
To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Display
dropdown list and click Go. You can view information about idle time, data rate,
signal strength and so forth; all of which are described in detail in
A session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device
(station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless
network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the
session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection
for some other reason.
A session is not the same as an association, which describes a client connection to
a particular access point. A client network connection can shift from one clustered
access point to another within the context of the same session. A client station can
roam between access points and maintain the session.
To manage sessions associated with the cluster, click the Sessions tab.
