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

to begin new data collections. The RX/TX Packets and RX/TX Bytes totals remain at their
present values and are not cleared.

Do not clear the WAN stats if currently in an important data gathering activity or risk losing all
data calculations to that point.

6. Click Logout to securely exit the access point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout

before the applet is closed.

Viewing LAN statistics

Use the LAN Stats screen to monitor the activity of the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point’s
LAN1 or LAN2 connection. The Information field of the LAN Stats screen displays network traffic
information as monitored over the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR 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 Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point was last restarted. The LAN Stats screen is
view-only with no user configurable data fields.

To view Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point LAN connection stats:

TX Packets

TX packets are data packets sent over the WAN connection. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN was last
enabled or the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point was last
restarted. To begin a new data collection, see

“Configuring system

settings”

on page 56.

TX Bytes

TX bytes are bytes of information sent over the WAN connection.
The displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN
interface was last enabled or the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point was last restarted. To begin a new data collection,
see

“Configuring system settings”

on page 56.

TX Errors

TX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns, and
carrier errors on outbound traffic. The displayed number of TX
errors is the total of TX Dropped, TX Overruns and TX Carrier
errors. Use this information to assess access point location and
transmit speed.

TX Dropped

The TX Dropped field displays the number of data packets that fail
to get sent from the WAN interface.

TX Overruns

TX overruns are buffer overruns on the WAN connection. TX
overruns occur when packets are sent faster than the WAN
interface 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 142.

TX Carrier

The TX Carrier field displays the number of TCP/IP data carrier
errors.
