The following table describes the graphs displayed in the Access Point view:
Graph Name Description Monitoring Procedure
Neighboring
APs
The Neighboring APs graph shows the
number of APs heard by the selected W-
IAP:
l Valid APs: An AP that is part of the
enterprise providing WLAN service.
l Interfering APs: An AP that is seen in
the RF environment but is not
connected to the network.
l Rogue APs: An unauthorized AP that is
plugged into the wired side of the
network.
To see the number of different types of
neighboring APs for the last 15 minutes,
move the cursor over the respective
graph lines.
To check the neighboring APs detected by the W-IAP
for the last 15 minutes,
1. Log in to the Instant UI. The Virtual Controller
view is displayed. This is the default view.
2. On the Access Points tab, click the W-IAP for
which you want to monitor the client association.
The W-IAP view is displayed.
3. Study the Neighboring APs graph in the
Overview section. For example, the graph shows
that 148 interfering APs are detected by the W-
IAP at 12:04 hours.
CPU Utilization The CPU Utilization graph displays the
utilization of CPU for the selected W-IAP.
To see the CPU utilization of the W-IAP,
move the cursor over the graph line.
To check the CPU utilization of the W-IAP for the last
15 minutes,
1. Log in to the Instant UI. The Virtual Controller
view is displayed. This is the default view.
2. On the Access Points tab, click the W-IAP for
which you want to monitor the client association.
The W-IAP view is displayed.
3. Study the CPU Utilization graph in the Overview
pane. For example, the graph shows that the CPU
utilization of the W-IAP is 30% at 12:09 hours.
Neighboring
Clients
The Neighboring Clients graph shows the
number of clients not connected to the
selected AP, but heard by it.
l Any client that successfully
authenticates with a valid AP and
passes encrypted traffic is classified
as a valid client.
l Interfering: A client associated to any
AP and is not valid is classified as an
interfering client.
To see the number of different types of
neighboring clients for the last 15
minutes, move the cursor over the
respective graph lines.
To check the neighboring clients detected by the W-
IAP for the last 15 minutes,
1. Log in to the Instant UI. The Virtual Controller
view is displayed. This is the default view.
2. On the Access Points tab, click the W-IAP for
which you want to monitor the client association.
The W-IAP view is displayed.
3. Study the Neighboring Clients graph in the
Overview pane. For example, the graph shows
that 20 interfering clients were detected by the
W-IAP at 12:15 hours.
Memory free
(MB)
The memory free graph displays the
memory availability of the W-IAP in MB.
To see the free memory of the W-IAP,
move the cursor over the graph line.
To check the free memory of the W-IAP for the last
15 minutes,
1. Log in to the Instant UI. The Virtual Controller
view is displayed. This is the default view.
