ANAGING LUSTER
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 AP (location) to which it is currently connected.
To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Display drop-down list and click Go. You can view
information about idle time, data rate, signal strength and so on; all of which are described in detail in the table below.
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.
Note: 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 AP to another within the context of the same session. A
client station can roam between APs and maintain the session.
To manage sessions associated with the cluster, click the Sessions tab under the Cluster heading.
Details about the session information shown is described in the following table.
