Viewing IP Filter Statistics for a LAN

Each access point LAN has the ability to track its own unique IP filter statistics. Refer to the LAN IP
Filter Stats page to review statistics generated from both incoming and outgoing IP filtering policies.
The LAN IP Filter Statistics screen shows a running count of packet traffic either allowed or denied
when filter rules fail. These rules determine which IP packets are processed normally by LANs 1
and 2 and which are discarded.

For more information on how IP Filtering works and how its configured on the access point, see
Configuring IP Filtering on page 5-181.

To view Mobility 7131 Access Point LAN’s IP filter statistics:

1. Select Status and Statistics -> LAN Stats -> LAN1 Stats (or LAN2 Stats) > IP Filter Stats from

the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.

2. Refer to the Incoming Policies field to assess the number of packets either allowed or denied

access by the access point’s filtering rules. These are packets that are incoming to the access
point LAN.

3. Refer to the Outgoing Policies field to assess the number of packets either allowed or denied

access by the access point’s filtering rules. These are packets that are outgoing from the
access point LAN.

4. Click the Clear LAN Stats button to reset each of the data collection counters to zero in order to

begin new data collections.

5. Click the Logout button to securely exit the Access Point applet. There will be a prompt

confirming logout before the applet is closed.
