Graph
Name
Description Monitoring Procedure
To see the exact speed at a particular
time, move the cursor over the graph line.
example, the graph shows that the data transfer
speed at 12:26 hours is 240 Mbps.
Throughput The Throughput Graph shows the
throughput of the selected client for the
last 15 minutes.
l Outgoing traffic—Throughput for
outgoing traffic is displayed in green.
Outgoing traffic is shown above the
median line.
l Incoming traffic—Throughput for
incoming traffic is displayed in blue.
Incoming traffic is shown below the
median line.
To see an enlarged view, click the graph.
The enlarged view shows Last, Minimum,
Maximum, and Average statistics for the
incoming and outgoing traffic throughput
of the client for the last 15 minutes.
To see the exact throughput at a
particular time, move the cursor over the
graph line.
To monitor the errors for the client for the last 15
minutes,
1. Log in to the Instant UI. The Virtual Controller view
is displayed. This is the default view.
2. In the Clients tab, click the IP address of the client
for which you want to monitor the throughput. The
client view is displayed.
3. Study the Throughput graph in the RF Trends
pane. For example, the graph shows 1.0 Kbps
outgoing traffic throughput for the client at 12:30
hours.

Mobility Trail
The Mobility Trail section displays the following mobility trail information for the selected client:
l Association Time— The time at which the selected client was associated with a particular W-IAP.
The Instant UI shows the client and W-IAP association over the last 15 minutes.
l Access Point— The W-IAP name with which the client was associated.
Mobility information about the client is reset each time it roams from one W-IAP to another.
Client Match
If client match is enabled, the Client Match link provides a graphical representation of radio map view of an
AP and the client distribution on an AP radio.
On clicking an access point in the Access Points tab and the Client Match link, a stations map view is
displayed and a graph is drawn with real-time data points for the AP radio. If the AP supports dual band, you
can toggle between 2.4GHz and 5 GHz links in the client match graph area to view the data. When you hover
the mouse on the graph, details such as RSSI, client match status, and the client distribution on channels are
displayed.
