Description
Displays the type of authentication employed by the user. Supported auth types are as follows:
EAP—Extensible Authentication Protocol, only reported by Cisco VxWorks using SNMP traps.

PPTP—Point-to-Point Protocol, supported by Colubris APs acting as VPNs.

RADIUS accounting—RADIUS accounting servers integrated with AWMS provide the RADIUS

Accounting Auth type.
Authenticated—a general category supporting additional authentication types.

AWMS considers all other types as not authenticated.
The information AWMS displays in Auth Type and Cipher columns depends on what information the server
receives from the APs and/or controllers it is monitoring. The client devices may all be similar, but if the
APs to which they are associated are of different models, or if security is set up differently between them,
then different Auth Type or Cipher values may be reported to the AWMS server.
If all APs are the same model and all are set up the same way, then another reason for differing Auth Types
might be the use of multiple VLANs or SSIDs. One client device might authenticate on one SSID using one
Auth Type and another client device might authenticate on a second SSID using a different Auth Type.
Displays the encryption or decryption cipher supporting the user, when this information is available. The
client devices may all be similar, but if the APs to which they are associated are of different models, or if
security is set up differently between them, then different Auth Type or Cipher values may be reported to
the AWMS server.
Shows when the user authenticated.
Displays the average signal quality the user experienced.
Displays the average bandwidth consumed by the MAC address.
Displays the QuickView box allows users to view features including heatmap for a device and location
history for a user.
Displays the IP assigned to the user MAC. This information is not always available. AWMS can gather it
from the association table of Colubris APs or from the ARP cache of switches discovered by AWMS.
Displays the VPN IP of the user MAC. This information can be obtained from VPN servers that send
RADIUS accounting packets to AWMS.

Description
Displays the name of the AP that is linked with the currently viewed AP.
Displays the radio MAC address of the AP that is linked with the currently viewed AP.
Displays date and time the link was initiated.
Displays length of time the two APs have been linked.
Specifies the type of link, either uplink or downlink, connecting the two APs. An uplink leads to the portal AP.
A downlink connects serves the viewed APs connection to the portal AP to other APs.
Displays the RSSI observed between the two linked devices.
Displays the number of hops between the device and its portal.
