Radio Statistics

You can use the Radio Statistics page to show packet-level and byte-level statistics for the wireless radio interface. To view the Radio Statistics page, select Status and Statistics > Radio Statistics in the navigation pane.

•Packets Received—Total packets received by the WAP device.

•Packets Transmitted—Total packets transmitted by the WAP device.

•Bytes Received—Total bytes received by the WAP device.

•Bytes Transmitted—Total bytes transmitted by the WAP device.

•Packets Receive Dropped—Number of packets received by the WAP device that were dropped.

•Packets Transmit Dropped—Number of packets transmitted by the WAP device that were dropped.

•Bytes Receive Dropped—Number of bytes received by the WAP device that were dropped.

•Bytes Transmit Dropped—Number of bytes transmitted by the WAP device that were dropped.

•Fragments Received—Number of fragmented frames received by the WAP device.

•Fragments Transmitted—Number of fragmented frames sent by the WAP device.

•Multicast Frames Received—Count of MSDU frames received with the multicast bit set in the destination MAC address.

•Multicast Frames Transmitted—Count of successfully transmitted MSDU frames where the multicast bit was set in the destination MAC address.

•Duplicate Frame Count—Number of times a frame was received and the Sequence Control field indicates it was a duplicate.

•Failed Transmit Count—Number of times an MSDU was not transmitted successfully due to transmit attempts exceeding either the short retry limit or the long retry limit.

WAP121, WAP321 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been recognized for its innovation in networking technologies, and the Cisco WAP321 and WAP121 access points are prime examples of its commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance wireless networking solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. These devices offer a robust set of features designed to meet the requirements of modern wireless networking while ensuring ease of use and deployment.

The Cisco WAP321 is a dual-band access point that operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, providing flexibility and improved performance in crowded environments. With support for the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, it boasts a combined data rate of up to 450 Mbps, enabling high-speed connections for multiple users simultaneously. The WAP321 also includes advanced features such as multiple SSIDs and VLAN support, allowing businesses to segment their networks for enhanced security and management control.

One of the standout characteristics of the WAP321 is its ability to act as a lightweight access point, meaning it can be managed through a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) for larger deployments. This capability allows for centralized management of multiple access points, making it easier for IT administrators to deploy, configure, and monitor their network infrastructure.

On the other hand, the Cisco WAP121 is designed for those requiring a simpler, more cost-effective solution. This single-band access point also operates on the 2.4 GHz band but still provides robust performance with wireless speeds reaching up to 300 Mbps. It is ideal for small businesses looking to develop or expand their wireless networks without the complexities associated with more advanced systems.

Both models feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, enabling them to receive power through the Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power outlets. Additionally, they support advanced security protocols, including WPA/WPA2 encryption, ensuring that sensitive data transmitted over the network remains protected from unauthorized access.

The ease of setup and user-friendly management interfaces of both the WAP321 and WAP121 make them appealing options for businesses lacking extensive IT resources. With features aimed at enhancing both performance and security, these access points represent powerful tools for achieving reliable wireless connectivity in a business environment. Whether organizations opt for the WAP321 for its extensive capabilities or the WAP121 for its simplicity, both access points reflect Cisco's dedication to meeting diverse networking needs.
