4. To view WLAN statistics in greater detail, select a WLAN and click the Statistics button. For more
information, see Viewing WLAN Statistics in Detail on page 4-62.
5. To view WLAN statistics in a graphical format, select a WLAN and click the Graph button. For more
information, see Viewing WLAN Statistics in a Graphical Format on page 4-65.
6. To view WLAN packet data rates and retry counts, select a WLAN and click the Switch Statistics
button. For more information, see Viewing WLAN Switch Statistics on page 4-66.
4.5.2.1 Viewing WLAN Statistics in Detail
When the WLAN Statistics screen does not supply adequate information for an individual WLAN, the
Details screen is recommended for displaying more granular information for a single WLAN. Use this
information to discern if a WLAN requires modification to meet network expectations.
To view detailed statistics for a WLAN:
1. Select a Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Statistics tab.
Last 30s Click the Last 30s radio button to display statistics for the WLAN over the last 30
seconds. This option is helpful when troubleshooting issues as they actually occur.
Last Hr Click the Last Hr radio button to displays statistics for the WLAN over the last 1
hour. This metric is helpful in baselining events over a one hour interval.
Index The Idx (or index) is a numerical identifier used to differentiate the WLAN from
other WLANs that may have similar characteristics.
ESSID The SSID is the Service Set ID (SSID) for the selected WLAN.
Description The Descr item contains a brief description of the WLAN. Use the description
(along with the index) to differentiate the WLAN from others with similar
attributes.
VLAN The VLAN parameter displays the name of the VLAN the WLAN is associated with.
MUs Lists the number of MUs associated with the WLAN.
Throughput Mbps Throughput Mbps is the average throughput in Mbps on the selected WLAN. The
Rx value is the average throughput in Mbps for packets received on the selected
WLAN. The Tx value is the average throughput for packets sent on the selected
WLAN.
Avg BPS Displays the average bit speed in Mbps for the selected WLAN. This includes all
packets sent and received.
% Non-UNI Displays the percentage of the total packets for the selected WLAN that are non-
unicast packets. Non-unicast packets include broadcast and multicast packets.
Retries Displays the average number of retries for all MUs associated with the selected
WLAN.
NOTE: When using mesh enabled WLAN statistics, no statistics are shown. This is
because WLAN statistics are generated by mobile unit traffic for that particular WLAN. In
a mesh configuration, there are typically no mobile units associated and therefore no
statistical information to display.
