Viewing Associated Client VAP Status
Each AP has 8 Virtual Access Points (VAPs) per radio, and every VAP has a unique MAC address (BSSID). The VAP Associated Client Status page shows information about the VAPs on the managed AP that have associated wireless clients.

Viewing Associated Client Statistics
A wireless client can roam among APs without interruption in WLAN service. The
WLAN Controller Switch tracks the traffic the client sends and receives during the entire wireless session while the client roams among APs that the switch manages. The switch stores statistics about client traffic while it is associated with a single AP as well as throughout the roaming session.
The statistics on the Association Summary page show information about the traffic a wireless client receives and transmits while it is associated with a single AP.
