5. Click the Clear LAN 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.
6. Click the Logout button to securely exit the Access Point applet. There will be a prompt
confirming logout before the applet is closed.
Viewing a LAN’s STP statistics
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 Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point LAN’s STP statistics:
TX Packets TX packets are data packets sent over the Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR Access Point LAN port. The displayed number is a
cumulative total since the LAN connection 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 LAN port. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the LAN Connection
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 a total of TX Dropped, TX Overruns and TX Carrier errors.
Use this information to re-assess AP location and transmit speed.
TX Dropped The TX Dropped field displays the number of data packets that fail
to get sent from the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR 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 142.
TX Carrier The TX Carrier field displays the number of TCP/IP data carrier
errors.
