Access Point Statistics
The Radio statistics screens display information on access point radios. The actual number of
radios depend on the access point model and type. This screen displays information on a per radio
basis. Use this information to refine and optimize the performance of each radio and therefore
improve network performance.
The access point’s radio statistics screens provide details about associated radios. It provides
radio ID, radio type, RF quality index etc. Use this information to assess the overall health of radio
transmissions and access point placement. An Brocade Mobility 7131 Access PointN model access
point can support from 1-3 radios depending on the SKU purchased. AP1220, AP71xx, and
AP1240 access points are dual radio models and Brocade Mobility 6511 Access Point model is a
single radio model.
Each of these screens provide enough statistics to troubleshoot issues related to the following
three areas:
• Status
• RF Statistics
• Traffic Statistics
Individual access point radios display as selectable links within each of the three access point
radio screens. To review a radio’s configuration in greater detail, select the link within the Radio
column of either the Status, RF Statistics or Traffic Statistics screens.
Additionally, navigate the Traffic, WMM TSPEC, Wireless LANs and Graph options available on the
upper, left-hand side, of the screen to review radio traffic utilization, WMM QoS settings, WLAN
advertisement and radio graph information in greater detail. This information can help determine
whether the radio is properly configured in respect to its intended deployment objective.
