Chapter 7 Viewing Status and Statistics

Viewing the Current Status of Your Client Adapter

Table 7-4

Advanced Client Adapter Status (continued)

 

 

 

 

Status

 

Description

 

 

 

QoS

 

The type of quality of service that is currently being used by your client

 

 

adapter. QoS on wireless LANs (WLAN) provides prioritization of

 

 

traffic from the access point over the WLAN based on traffic

 

 

classification.

 

 

Value:

None or WMM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

QoS

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

None

 

WMM standard QoS is not enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WMM

 

Wi-Fi Multimedia, a component of the

 

 

 

 

IEEE 802.11e WLAN standard for QoS, is

 

 

 

 

enabled. For this value to appear, QoS and

 

 

 

 

WMM must be enabled on the access point

 

 

 

 

to which the client adapter is associated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note WMM is supported automatically on the client adapter in the

 

 

 

software included in Install Wizard 2.0 or later. However, you

 

 

 

must enable the Windows QoS Packet Scheduler to ensure

 

 

 

WMM support. Follow the instructions in the “Enabling Wi-Fi

 

 

 

Multimedia” section on page 5-51to enable the QoS Packet

 

 

 

Scheduler.

 

 

Associated AP Name

The name of the access point to which your client adapter is associated.

 

 

It is shown only if the client adapter is in infrastructure mode, the

 

 

access point was configured with a name, and Aironet Extensions are

 

 

enabled (on access points running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)JA or

 

 

later).

 

 

 

 

Note This field shows up to 15 characters although the name of the

 

 

 

access point may be longer.

 

 

Associated AP IP Address

The IP address of the access point to which your client adapter is

 

 

associated. It is shown only if the client adapter is in infrastructure

 

 

mode, the access point was configured with an IP address, and Aironet

 

 

Extensions are enabled (on access points running Cisco IOS Release

 

 

12.2(4)JA or later).

 

 

Note If Aironet Extensions are disabled, the IP address of the

 

 

 

associated access point is shown as 0.0.0.0.

 

 

Associated AP MAC Address

The MAC address of the access point to which your client adapter is

 

 

associated. It is shown only if the client adapter is in infrastructure

 

 

mode.

 

 

 

 

Note This field displays the MAC address of the access point’s

 

 

 

Ethernet port (for access points that do not run Cisco IOS

 

 

 

software) or the MAC address of the access point’s radio (for

 

 

 

access points that run Cisco IOS software). The MAC address

 

 

 

of the Ethernet port on access points that run Cisco IOS

 

 

 

software is printed on a label on the back of the device.
