Clients:
Displays the total number of Clients currently associated to the switch.
Displays the total number of Access Ports currently adopted by the switch.
Displays the total number of radios currently adopted by the switch.
Displays the packet transmission rate for received and transmitted packets over last 30
seconds and 1 hour.
Displays the traffic throughput for packets received, packets transmitted, and total packets
over last 30 seconds and 1 hour.
Displays the average bit speed for the switch over last 30 seconds and 1 hour. Use the
average bit speed value to help determine overall network speeds and troubleshoot network
congestion.
over last 30 seconds and 1 hour. Non-unicast traffic includes both multicast and broadcast
traffic.
Broadcasted, multicasted, and flooded packets are sent over the air at the slowest rate on
every radio in the WLAN and therefore have a much larger airtime utilization than unicast
packets and a greater chance of causing collisions.
associated APs and radios:
Displays the average signal strength for Clients associated with the switch over the last 30 seconds
and 1 hour. Typically, the higher the signal, the closer the client.
Displays the average RF noise for all Clients associated with the selected WLAN. client noise for the
last 30 seconds is displayed in black and the number in blue represents client noise for the last
hour. If client noise is excessive, consider moving the client closer to the Access Port, or in area with
less conflicting network traffic. Excessive noise may also be an indication of network interference.
Displays the average Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for all Clients associated with the switch. The
Signal to Noise Ratio is an indication of overall RF performance on the wireless network.
