This page presents key information for the Ethernet and radio
ports.
Settings
Network Diagnostics
Clicking on this link takes you to the Network
Diagnostics screen where you can select diagnostic tests.
VLAN
Clicking on this link takes you to the VLAN
Summary Status screen where you can view the configuration of
existing VLANs. A VLAN Detailed Setup link on this page leads to
the VLAN Setup page where you can create a new VLAN, edit, or remove
an existing VLAN.
Service Sets
Clicking on this link takes you to the AP
Radio Service Set Summary Status screen where you can see the
status of service sets.
SSID: Int, Mod
Clicking on one of these links takes you to the Service Set Summary
Status pages for the radio selected, where you can view the configuration
of existing SSIDs. A Service Set Detailed Setup page leads to the
Internal Service Sets page, where you can add a new SSID, edit,
or remove an existing SSID.
Identifying Information and Status
The top six lines in each column report the name, operational
status, and the identifying addresses of the port. See the Express
Setup page for information on device and port identification
(Summary Status > Setup > Express Setup).
- Name -- Displays the name of the network
interface port. An asterisk (*) next to the name identifies the
port as the primary port for the device.
The port names are links to a detailed page for each port.
- Status -- Displays one of three possible
operating states for the port:
- Up -- The port is operating properly.
- Down -- The port is not operating.
- Error -- The port is operating
but is presently in an error condition.
- Max. Mb/s -- The maximum rate of data
transmission in megabits per second.
- IP Addr. -- The IP address for the
port. When the device is set up in standby mode, the Ethernet
and radio ports use different IP addresses. Use the AP/Root
Radio Identification page to assign an IP address to the radio
port that is different from the Ethernet IP address.
- MAC (Media Access Control) Addr. --
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier
assigned to the network interface by the manufacturer.
- Radio SSID -- A unique identifier
that client devices use to associate with the access point or
a VLAN supported by the access point. The SSID helps client devices
distinguish between multiple wireless networks in the same vicinity
and provides access to VLANs by wireless client devices.
Receive
The middle portion of each column reports the data traffic received
through the port.
- Unicast pkts. -- The number of packets
received in point-to-point communication.
- Multicast pkts. -- The number of packets
received that were sent as a transmission to a set of nodes.
- Total bytes -- The total number of
bytes received.
- Errors -- The number of packets determined
to be in error.
- Discards -- The number of packets
discarded by the device due to errors or network congestion.
- Forwardable pkts. -- The number of
packets received by the port that was acceptable or passable through
the filters.
- Filtered pkts. -- The number of packets
that were stopped or screened by the filters set up on the port.
Transmit
The lower portion of each column reports the data traffic transmitted
from the port.
- Unicast pkts. -- The number of packets
transmitted in point-to-point communication.
- Multicast pkts. -- The number of packets
transmitted that were sent as a transmission to a set of nodes.
- Total bytes -- Total number of bytes
transmitted from the port.
- Errors -- The number of packets determined
to be in error.
- Discards -- The number of packets
discarded by the device due to errors or network congestion.
- Forwarded pkts. -- The number of packets
transmitted by the port that was acceptable or passable through
the filters.
