Viewing Managed Access Point VAPs

There are 16 virtual access points (VAPs) available on each radio of an AP. For each radio of an access point managed by
the switch, you can view a summary of the VAP configuration and the number of wireless clients associated with a particular
VAP.
Use the menu above the table to select the AP with the VAP information to view. The AP is identified by its MAC address
and location. If the AP has two radios, select a radio to view details about VAPs on that radio. The radio is identified by its
number and configured mode. If the radio is disabled, the radio mode will be displayed as Off.
Table 289 describes the fields you see on the VAPs page for the managed access point status.

Viewing Distributed Tunneling Information

The AP-AP tunneling mode is used to support L3 roaming for wireless clients without forwarding any data traffic to the
wireless switch.
In the AP-AP tunneling mode, when a client first associates with an AP in the wireless system, the AP forwards the wireless
client's data using VLAN forwarding mode. The AP the client initially associates with is called the Home AP . The AP the client
roams to is called the Association AP .

Table 288: Neighbor AP Clients
Description
Indicates one or more discovery methods for the neighbor client. One or more of the following
values may be displayed:
• RF Scan Discovered: The client was reported from an RF scan on the radio. Note that client
stations are difficult to detect via RF scan, the other methods are more common for client
neighbor detection.
• Probe Request: The managed AP received a probe request from the client.
• Associated to Managed AP: This neighbor client is associated to another managed AP.
• Associated to this AP: The client is associated to this managed AP on the displayed radio.
• Associated to Peer AP: The client is associated to an AP managed by a peer switch.
• Ad Hoc Rogue: The client was detected as part of an Ad Hoc network.
Indicates the time since this client was last reported from an RF scan on the radio.

Table 289: Managed Access Point VAP Status

Description
The integer ID used to identify the VAP (0-7), this is used to uniquely identify the VAP for
configuration via CLI/SNMP.
Indicates whether or not the VAP is enabled or disabled. VAPs are always configured, but are
only sending beacons and accepting clients when they are Enabled.
The Ethernet address of the VAP.
Indicates the network assigned to the VAP. The network for each VAP is configured within the
AP profile and the SSID is based on the network configuration.
Indicates the total number of clients currently associated to the VAP.
Indicates the total number of clients currently authenticated with the VAP.
