dot11 linktest
Usage Guidelines The link test verifies the radio link between the access point and a client device by sending the client a
series of special packets, which the client returns to the access point.
Note Some client devices, such as non-Cisco wireless clients, wired clients that are connected to a workgroup
bridge, or non-Cisco clients connected to a repeater access point, might not respond to link test packets.
The client adds information to the packets that quantify how well it received the request. Results are
displayed as a table of packet statistics, quality, and signal-level information.
If you specify an interval, the test repeats continuously separated by the specified number of seconds.
To abort the test, type the escape sequence (Ctrl key and ^ key). Without an interval, the test runs once.
