7 Monitoring Status and Statistics

Table 31 describes the fields you see on the Neighbor APs page for the managed access point status.

Table 31. Managed AP Neighbor Status

Field

Description

MAC Address -

Shows the MAC address and location of the AP to which the values on the

Location

page apply. To view details about a different AP, select its MAC address

(Drop-down Menu)

from the drop-down menu.

 

 

Radio

Indicates a radio interface and its configured mode. Select one of the radios

(ex. 1-802.11g)

to view the neighbor APs detected via an RF scan on that radio.

 

 

 

Neighbor AP MAC

The Ethernet MAC address of the neighbor AP network, this could be a

 

physical radio interface or VAP MAC address. For D-Link Access Points

 

this is always a VAP MAC address. The neighbor AP MAC address may be

 

cross-referenced in the RF Scan status.

 

 

SSID

Service Set ID of the neighbor AP network.

 

 

RSSI

Received signal strength indication, this is an indicator of the signal strength

 

relative to the neighbor and may give an idea of the neighbor's distance from

 

the managed AP.

 

 

Status

Indicates the managed status of the AP, whether this is a valid AP known to

 

the switch or a Rogue on the network. The valid values are:

 

• WS Managed - The neighbor AP is managed by this switch, the

 

neighbor AP status can be referenced using its base MAC address.

 

• Peer WS Managed - The neighbor AP is managed by another switch

 

within the peer group.

 

• Acknowledged Rogue - The AP is configured as a valid AP entry (local

 

or RADIUS), it has been acknowledged and is not reported as Rogue.

 

• Ad Hoc Rogue - The AP neighbor was detected participating in an ad

 

hoc network.

 

 

Age

Indicates the time since this AP was last reported from an RF scan on the

 

radio.

 

 

Viewing Clients Associated with Neighbor Access Points

The Neighbor Clients page shows information about wireless clients that have been

discovered by the selected AP. D-Link Access Points can store information for up to 1024 wireless clients. If the information exceeds the capacity, the oldest data in the neighbor client list is overwritten. The Delete All Neighbors button clears the list. The list is repopulated as neighbors and associated clients are discovered.
