Managed AP Status

This window is used to display a variety of information about each AP that the Switch manages. This window
contains two main tabs, Status and Statistics. The Status tab provides configuration and association information
about managed APs and their neighbors. The Statistics tab displays information about the number of packets and
bytes transmitted and received on various interfaces.

Description
The Ethernet address of the Unified Switch- managed AP. If the MAC address of
the AP is followed by an asterisk (*), it is managed by a peer switch.
A location description for the AP. This is the value configured in the valid AP
database (either locally or on the RADIUS server).
The network IP address of the managed AP.
The AP profile configuration currently applied to the managed AP. The profile is
assigned to the AP in the valid AP database.
NOTE: Once an AP is discovered and managed by the Unified Switch, if the profile
is changed in the valid AP database (either locally or on the RADIUS
server) the AP must be reset to configure with the new profile.
The software version the AP is currently running.
The current managed state of the AP. The possible values are:
•
Discovered - The AP is discovered by the switch, but is not yet authenticated.
•
Authenticated - The AP has been validated and authenticated (if authentication
is enabled), but it is not configured.
•
Managed - The AP profile configuration has been applied to the AP and it's
operating in managed mode.
•
Failed - The Unified Switch lost contact with the AP, a failed entry will remain in
the managed AP database unless you remove it. Note that a managed AP will
temporarily show a failed status during a reset.
NOTE: When management connectivity is lost for a managed AP, then both radios
of the AP are turned down. All the clients associated with the AP get disassociated.
The radios become operational if and when that AP is managed again by a switch.
