The Wireless LANs screen displays the following:
Policy Based Routing
The Policy Based Routing statistics screen displays statistics for selective path packet redirection.
PBR can optionally mark traffic for preferential services (QoS). PBR is applied to incoming routed
packets, and a route-map is created containing a set of filters and associated actions. Based on
the actions defined in the route-map, packets are forwarded to the next relevant hop. Route-maps
are configurable under a global policy called routing-policy, and applied to profiles and devices.
To review Access Point PBR statistics:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select System from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). Expand a RF
Domain, select a controller or service platform, and select one of its connected Access Points.
3. Select Policy Based Routing.
WLAN Name
Displays the name of the WLAN the Access Point is currently using for client transmissions.
SSID
Displays each listed WLAN’s Service Set ID (SSID) used as the WLAN’s network identifier.
Traffic Index
Displays the traffic utilization index, which measures how efficiently the WLAN’s traffic medium is used.
It’s defined as the percentage of current throughput relative to maximum possible throughput. Traffic
indices are:
•
0 – 20 (very low utilization)
•
20 – 40 (low utilization)
•
40 – 60 (moderate utilization)
•
60 and above (high utilization)
Radio Count

Tx Bytes
Displays the average number of transmitted bytes sent on each listed WLAN.
Tx User Data Rate
Displays the transmitted user data rate in kbps for each listed WLAN.
Rx Bytes
Displays the average number of packets in bytes received on each listed WLAN.
Rx User Data Rate
Displays the received user data rate on each listed WLAN.
