Viewing STP Statistics for a LAN
Each access point LAN has the ability to track its own unique STP statistics. Refer to the LAN STP
Stats page when assessing mesh networking functionality for each of the two access point LANs.
Access points in bridge mode exchange configuration messages at regular intervals (typically 1 to 4
seconds). If a bridge fails, neighboring bridges detect a lack of configuration messaging and initiate
a spanning-tree recalculation (when spanning tree is enabled).
To view Mobility 7131 Access Point LAN’s STP statistics:
1. Select Status and Statistics -> LAN Stats -> LAN1 Stats (or LAN2 Stats) > STP Stats from the
Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.
TX Dropped The TX Dropped field displays the number of data packets that fail to get sent from the
Mobility 7131 Access Point LAN port.
TX Overruns TX overruns are buffer overruns on the LAN port. TX overruns occur when packets are sent
faster than the LAN connection can handle. If TX overruns are excessive, consider reducing
the data rate, for more information, see Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio
on page 5-167.
TX Carrier The TX Carrier field displays the number of TCP/IP data carrier errors.
