Displaying Wireless Client Reports
Wireless client reports provide information about the type of client that is associating with an access point, information about how much bandwidth the client is using, and a history of which access points the client has been associated with.
Using this window, you can search for a wireless client based on their MAC address or name.
The frequency with which the Wireless Clients reports are updated is 5 minutes by default. To change the default setting, see Managing System Parameters.
Note Your login determines whether you can use this option.
Following are the report types you can view:
•Client Detail Report—See Displaying a Client Detail Report
