7.3 Viewing Wireless Statistics
Use the WLAN Statistics Summary screen to view overview statistics for active (enabled) WLANs
on the AP-5131. The WLAN Summary field displays basic information such as number of Mobile
Units (MUs) and total throughput for each of the active WLANs. The Total RF Traffic section displays
basic throughput information for all RF activity on the AP-5131. The WLAN Statistics Summary screen
is view-only with no user configurable data fields.
If a WLAN is not displayed within the Wireless Statistics Summary screen, see Enabling Wireless
LANs (WLANs) on page 5-22 to enable the WLAN. For information on configuring the properties of
individual WLANs, see Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-24 .
To view AP-5131 WLAN Statistics:
1. Select Status and Statistics -> Wireless Stats from the AP-5131 menu tree.
State Displays whether a bridge is forwarding traffic to other members
of the mesh network (over this port) or blocking traffic. Each viable
member of the mesh network must forward traffic to extent the
coverage area of the mesh network.
Path Cost The root path cost is the distance (cost) from the sending bridge to
the root bridge.
Designated Root Displays the MAC address of the AP-5131 defined with the lowest
priority within the Mesh STP Configuration screen.
Designated Bridge There is only one root bridge within each mesh network. All other
bridges are designated bridges that look to the root bridge for
several mesh network timeout values. For information on root and
bridge designations, see
Setting the LAN Configuration for Mesh
Networking Support on page 9-5 .
Designated Port Each designated bridge must use a unique port. The value listed
represents the port used by each bridge listed within the table to
route traffic to other members of the mesh network.
Designated Cost Displays the unique distance between each AP-5131 MAC address
listed in the Designated Bridge column and the AP-5131 MAC
address listed in the Designated Root column.
