Role in Network
The access point can operate as an Access Point (Root) or as a Repeater (Non-root).
When operating as an Access Point (Root), it bridges wireless traffic to the wired
LAN. When operating as a Repeater (Non-root), it bridges wireless traffic to an access
point that is connected to the wired LAN. The repeater is placed within range of an
access point connected to the wired LAN. This placement extends the range of your
infrastructure.
Antenna Gain
The status of the antennae gain can be viewed but it can be changed only by using
CLI.
Interface Statistics
Interface Resets
The number of times an interface has been completely reset.
Receive Statistics
5 min Input Rate (bits/sec)
The average number of bits per second received in the last 5 minutes.
5 min Input Rate (packets/sec)
The average number of packets per second received in the last 5 minutes.
Time Since Last Input
The number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully
transmitted by an interface. Knowing this time helps you determine the traffic load
on the interface and helps locate network problems.
Total Packets Input
The total number of error-free packets received by the system.
Total Bytes Input
The total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, received by the
system.
Transmit Statistics
5 min Output Rate (bits/sec)
The average number of bits transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes.
5 min Output Rate (packets/
sec)
The average number of packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes.
Time Since Last Output
The number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully
transmitted by the interface. Knowing this time helps you determine the traffic load
on the interface and helps locate the network problems.
Total Packets Output
The total number of messages transmitted by the system.
Total Bytes Output
The total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, transmitted by
the system.
Error Statistics
Total Input Errors
The total number of input related errors that occurred including runts, giants, no
buffer, CRC, frame, overrun, and ignored counts.
Total Output Errors
The sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of datagrams from being
examined.
Last Output Hang
The number of hours, minutes, and seconds (or never) since the interface was last
reset because of a transmission that took too long. When the number of hours in the
Time Since Last Input, Time Since Last Output, or Last Output Hang fields exceeds 24,
the number of days and hours is printed.
Throttles
The number of times the receiver on the port was disabled, possibly because of
buffer or processor overload.
