Monitoring the Wireless Network
This section explains how you can access information about wireless stations
and wireless network activity. It then provides some tips for interpreting this
information.
You can monitor:
■ wireless stations’ associations
■ wireless statistics:
• individual statistics for traffic to and from each wireless station
• average statistics for all traffic to and from an RP radio
• average statistics for all traffic in a wireless LAN (WLAN)
• average statistics for all traffic to and from all RPs adopted by a
module
■ RPs
When troubleshooting, you can compare the various wireless statistics to
determine, for example, whether congestion seems to be problem throughout
a WLAN or is centered on a particular RP or group of RPs.
Wireless Stations
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module stores information about the associa-
tions that adopted RPs have established with wireless stations. You should
view this information to monitor network activity and to detect intruders. You
can also use this information to help a wireless user who is having difficulty
with his or her connection.
Viewing Wireless Stations
To view the wireless stations, select Device Information > Wireless Stations, as
shown in Figure 13-1.
