Chapter 13 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

Using Diagnostic Pages

SSID—The unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access point radio. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple wireless networks in the same vicinity.

Operational Rates—The data transmission rates supported and enabled by the access point for communication with client devices.

Transmit Power (mW)—The power level of radio transmission. You can reduce the transmit power to conserve power or reduce interference. Click Set Properties to display the AP Radio Hardware page, where you can change this setting.

Receive Statistics

Unicast Packets—The number of packets received in point-to-point communication.

Multicast Packets—The number of packets received that were sent as a transmission to a set of nodes.

Total Bytes—The total number of bytes received.

Total Errors—The total number of packets determined to be in error.

Discarded Packets—Packets discarded due to errors or network congestion.

Forwardable Packets—Packets received by the port that were acceptable or passable through the filters.

Filtered Packets—Packets that were stopped or screened by the filters set up on the port.

Packet CRC Errors—Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors that were detected in a received packet.

Packet WEP Errors—Encryption errors received through this port.

Overrun Packets—Packets that were discarded because the access point had a temporary overload of packets to handle.

Duplicate Packets—Packets that were received twice because an acknowledgment was lost and the sender retransmitted the packet.

Lifetime Exceeded—Fragmented packets that were dropped because it took too long to get the next fragment.

MIC Packets—Total number of packets received over this radio since system startup and for which a MIC has been requested to be validated with the MMH algorithm.

MIC Errors—Total number of packets received over this radio since system startup that failed MIC validation with the MMH algorithm.

MIC Sequ. Errors—Total number of packets received over this radio since system startup that failed MIC validation with the MMH algorithm specifically due to sequence number and duplicate packet errors.

MIC Auth. Errors—Total number of packets received over this radio since system startup that failed MIC validation with the MMH algorithm specifically due to cryptographic key-mismatch errors.

Transmit Statistics

Unicast Packets—The number of packets transmitted in point-to-point communication.

Multicast Packets—The number of packets transmitted that were sent as a transmission to a set of nodes.

Total Bytes—The number of bytes transmitted from the port.

Total Errors—The number of packets determined to be in error.
