Viewing Associated Wireless Client Information
To view the client stations associated with a particular access point, click the Client Associations tab.
The associated stations are displayed along with information about packet traffic transmitted and received for
each station.
Table 10 describes the fields on the Client Associations page.
Field Description
Network Shows which VAP the client is associated with. For example, an entry of wlan0vap2 means the
client is associated with Radio 1, VAP 2.
An entry of wlan0 means the client is associated with VAP 0 on Radio 1. An entry of wlan1
means the client is associated with VAP 0 on Radio 2.
Station Shows the MAC address of the associated wireless client.
Status The Authenticated and Associated Status shows the underlying IEEE 802.11 authentication
and association status, which is present no matter which type of security the client uses to
connect to the AP. This status does not show IEEE 802.1X authentication or association status.
Some points to keep in mind with regard to this field are:
• If the AP security mode is None or Static WEP, the authentication and association status of
clients showing on the Client Associations page will be in line with what is expected; that
is, if a client shows as authenticated to the AP, it will be able to transmit and receive data.
(This is because Static WEP uses only IEEE 802.11 authentication.)
• If the AP uses IEEE 802.1X or WPA security, however, it is possible for a client association to
show on this page as authenticated (via the IEEE 802.11 security) but actually not be
authenticated to the AP via the second layer of security.
From Station Shows the number of packets and bytes received from the wireless client and the number of
packets and bytes that were dropped after being received.
To Station Shows the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the AP to the wireless client and the
number of packets and bytes that were dropped upon transmission.
