Cisco Systems DL-2159-05 manual Identifying Information and Status, Data Received, 13-6

Chapter 13 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

Using Diagnostic Pages

There are three links at the top of the page that take you to the following pages:

•Network Diagnostics—displays the Cisco Network Diagnostics page where you can select diagnostic tests.

•VLAN—displays the VLAN Summary Status page, 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.

•SSIDs: Int, Mod—displays 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.

The Network Ports table is divided into three sections: identifying information and status, data received, and data transmitted. Each row in the table is described below.

Identifying Information and Status

•Name—Displays the name of the network interface port. An asterisk (*) next to the name identifies the port as the primary port for the access point.

The port names are links to a detailed page for each port. See the “Ethernet Port Page” section on page 13-7for information on the Ethernet Port page and the “AP Radio Page” section on page 13-9for information on the AP Radio Port page.

•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 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 access point is set up in standby mode the Ethernet and radio ports use different IP addresses. Use the AP Radio Identification page to assign an IP address to the radio port that is different from the Ethernet IP address. See the “Settings on the AP Radio Identification Page” section on page 3-8for details on the AP Radio Identification page.

•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. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple wireless networks in the same vicinity.

Data Received

•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 access point 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.
