Excluding clients from association
Optionally, use the access point Access Control List ACL to specify which clients can
or cannot gain access to an access point managed WLAN. By default, all mobile
units can gain access. For specific information on configuring (restricting) client
access, refer to the Brocade Mobility 7131 Series Access Point Product Reference
Guide available at the Brocade Web site.
Testing mobile unit connectivity
Verify the access point’s link with an client by sending Wireless Network
Management Protocol (WNMP) ping packets to the associated client. Use the Echo
Test screen to specify a target client and configure the parameters of the ping test.
The WNMP ping test only works with Motorola clients. Only use a Motorola client to
test connectivity using WNMP.
To ping a specific client to assess its connection with an access point:
NOTE
Before testing for connectivity, the target client needs to be set to the same ESSID
as the access point. Since WPA2/CCMP has been configured for the access point,
the client also needs to be configured for WPA2/CCMP and use the same keys.
Ensure the client is associated with the access point before testing for connectivity.
1. Select Status and Statistics - > MU Stats from the menu tree.
2. Select the Echo Test button from within the client Stats Summary screen.
3. Define the following ping test parameters:
4. Click the Ping button to begin transmitting ping packets to the client address
specified.
Station Address The station address is the IP address of the target client. Refer to
the MU Stats Summary
screen for associated client information.
Number of ping Specify the number of ping packets to transmit to the target client.
The default is 100.
Packet Length Specify the length of each data packet transmitted to the target
client during the ping test. The default is 100 bytes.
