Name | Displays the following names:
| |
Value | Displays the values for the respective names | |
| Client Associations | ||
VAP | Virtual access point with which the client is associated. For example, wlan0vap2 means the client is associated with VAP 2 on radio 1. wlan0 means the client is associated with VAP 0 on radio 1. wlan1 means the client is associated with VAP 0 on radio 2. | |
Client MAC Address | MAC address of the associated wireless client. | |
Authentication | Underlying IEEE 802.11 authentication status, if the virtual access point security mode is set to none or static WEP. This status does not show IEEE 802.1x authentication or association status. If the virtual access point security mode is set to 802.1x or WPA, it is possible for a client association to be shown as being authenticated when it has actually not been authenticated through the second layer of security. | |
Packets Rx/Tx | The number of packets received from the wireless clients and transmitted from the access point to the wireless client. | |
Bytes Rx/Tx | The number of bytes received from the wireless clients and transmitted from the access point to the wireless client. | |
