Managing Wireless Clients
Table 26 lists the commands for configuring interactions with client stations. The Port Authentication
Entity (PAE) is used during Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) exchange.
Performing Client Scanning
The client scan feature enables the management layer to receive and process PROBE REQ messages
from clients. The management layer then creates an entry in the probe information table for each client
it receives PROBE REQ packets from. The management layer can, optionally, send an asynchronous
notification when a new entry is added to the table. Entries in the probe information table are timed out
if new PROBE REQ packets are not received in some configurable window. The client scan table can be
configured by network administrator to optimize memory performance.
Supported Rate Set List of supported rates
WEP required/WEP authentication supported WEP information from beacon and probe packets
WPA WPA information, including authentication and supported
encryption algorithms

Table 27: Client Scan Commands
Command Description
enable wireless port <portlist> interface
[1|2] client-scan
Use this command to enable the client scan feature on the specified
wireless interface.
disable wireless port <portlist> interface
[1|2] client-scan
Use this command to disable the client scan feature on the specified
wireless interface. This can be useful to enhance network
performance should a heavily populated network show signs of
decreased performance.
configure wireless port <portlist> interface
[1|2] client-scan results size <#>
Use this command to configure the maximum number of entries in
the client scan information table.
configure wireless port <portlist> interface
[1|2]p client-scan results timeout #
Use the command to specify the timeout for entries in the table.
clear wireless port <portlist> interface [1|2]
client-scan results <MAC|all>
Use this command to clear the contents of the entire table, or for a
specific client MAC.
clear wireless port <portlist> interface [1|2]
client-scan counters <MAC|all>
Use this command to clear the statistics associated with particular
client, or with all clients. Doing so resets all historical counters to 0
without removing the client entry.
