Viewing LAN statistics
Use the LAN Stats screen to monitor the activity of the Mobility 5181 Access Point’s LAN1 or LAN2
connection. The Information field of the LAN Stats screen displays network traffic information as
monitored over the Mobility 5181 Access Point LAN1 or LAN2 port. The Received and Transmitted
fields of the screen display statistics for the cumulative packets, bytes, and errors received and
transmitted over the LAN1 or LAN2 port since it was last enabled or the Mobility 5181 Access Point
was last restarted. The LAN Stats screen is view-only with no user configurable data fields.
To view Mobility 5181 Access Point LAN connection stats:
1. Select Status and Statistics -> LAN Stats -> LAN1 Stats (or LAN2 Stats) from the Mobility 5181
Access Point menu tree.
2. Refer to the Information field to view the following Mobility 5181 Access Point device address
information:
3. Refer to the Received field to view data received over the Mobility 5181 Access Point LAN port.
Status
Displays whether this particular LAN has been enabled as viable
subnet from within the LAN Configuration screen.
IP Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for the Mobility 5181 Access
Point LAN port.
Network Mask
The first two sets of numbers specify the network domain, the next
set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger network. These
values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing
and data transmission.
Ethernet Address
The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Mobility 5181
Access Point. The MAC address is hard coded at the factory and
cannot be changed. For more information on how access point
MAC addresses are assigned, see
Link
The Link parameter displays Up if the LAN connection is active
between the Mobility 5181 Access Point and network, and Down if
the LAN connection is interrupted or lost. Use this information to
assess the current connection status of LAN 1 or LAN2.
Speed
The LAN 1 or LAN 2 connection speed is displayed in Megabits per
second (Mbps), for example, 54Mbps. If the throughput speed is
not achieved, examine the number of transmit and receive errors,
or consider increasing the supported data rate. To change the data
rate of the 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio, see
Duplex
Displays whether the current LAN connection is full or half duplex.
WLANs Mapped
The WLANs Mapped table lists the WLANs mapped to this LAN
(either LAN1 or LAN2) as their LAN interface.
