• Total Received frames – The total number of frames received from the
UTP port. This counter includes both bad and good frames.
• Received Bad Frames – The number of frames with errors received
from the UTP port. High values (more than just a few) indicate a
problem in the UTP connection such as a bad UTP cable or hub port.
• Received good frames – The number of good frames (i.e. frames with
no errors) received from the UTP port.
• Forwarded to the bridge – The number of received frames that were
forwarded to the unit’s internal bridge. This counter should be equal to
the number of good frames unless the internal bridge is overloaded.
• Missed Frames – Frames that the unit recognized but failed to read due
to internal bridge overload. This counter should equal zero unless the
internal bridge is overloaded.
• Transmitted to Ethernet – The number of frames transmitted by the
unit to the UTP port. These mainly include frames that have been
received from the Wireless side, but also includes frames generated by
the unit itself.
Wireless LAN Counters
Wireless counters display statistics about the unit’s Wireless LAN activity.
Transmission to the wireless media includes data frames received from the
UTP ports, as well as self generated control and management frames. When
a data frame is transmitted, the unit will wait for an acknowledge from the
receiving side. If an acknowledge is not received, the unit will retransmit the
frame until it gets an acknowledge (there are no retransmissions for control
frames). If the unit has retransmitted a frame for the maximum number of
retransmissions (refer to section 3.5.3) it will stop re-transmitting the frame
and drop this frame.
Available Counters:
• Total Transmitted Frames – The number of frames transmitted to the
wireless media. The count includes the first transmission of data
frames (without retransmissions), and the number of control and
management frames.
Notice that an AP continuously transmits a control frame called
beacon in every frequency to which it hops, in order to publish its
