Table10:AssociatedClients
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wi ll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
packet sandbytesthatweredroppedafterbeingreceived.
