Station Assurance
Station assurance monitors the quality of the connections that users are
experiencing on the wireless network. This window shows client stations that
have had connectivity issues. You may enable or disable the station assurance
feature and set thresholds for the problems that it checks, such as excessive packet
retry or packet error rates, or stations that are unable to stay associated to the
Array. Please see “Station Assurance” on page 288 for more information about
these settings. When the Array detects that a station has reached the threshold
value for one or more of the issues checked, it adds the station to this page. In
addition, an event is triggered, a trap is generated, and a Syslog message is
logged.
For each station, this list shows the MAC address, its IP address, its host name, its
device type, device class, and manufacturer. It also shows the values of the
various statistics that were monitored for problems as described in “Station
Assurance” on page 288: associated time, authentication failures, packet error
rate, packet retry rate, packet data rate, RSSI, signal to noise ratio (SNR), and
distance.
