4.2.5.1Traffic Statistics
The traffic statistics are used to monitor, interpret and analyze the performance of the wired and wireless links. The counters display statistics relating to wireless link and Ethernet frames. The Traffic Statistics menu includes the following options:
Display Counters: Select this option to display the current value of the Ethernet and wireless link (WLAN) counters.
Reset Counters: Select this option to reset the counters.
4.2.5.1.1Ethernet Counters
The unit receives Ethernet frames from its Ethernet port and forwards the frames to its internal bridge, which determines whether each frame should be transmitted to the wireless medium. Frames discarded by the unit's hardware filter are not counted by the Ethernet counters. For units with HW revision B and lower, the maximum length of a regular IEEE 802.1 Ethernet packet that can be accepted from or transmitted to the Ethernet port is 1514 bytes, excluding CRC and VLAN(s). For units with HW revision C and higher, the maximum length of an Ethernet packet that can be accepted from or transmitted to the Ethernet port (excluding CRC) is 1600 bytes, including VLAN(s) for single or
The unit transmits valid data frames received from the wireless medium to the Ethernet port, as well as internally generated frames, such as responses to management queries and pings received via the Ethernet port.
The Ethernet Counters include the following statistics:
Total received frames via Ethernet: The total number of frames received from the Ethernet port. This counter includes both invalid frames (with errors) and valid frames (without errors).
