11.2.2.1 Interfaces
The interfaces section of the screen displays information about the ports and Access Ports associated with
the subnet (set in Network Configuration --> Subnet --> <Subnet Name>).
The area shows the status of the port-subnet link and the speed of the connection. The Link field displays
“Up” if the adjacent port is active, and “Down” if the adjacent port is inactive. When a port’s link status is
“Up” the speed of the link (in Mbps) will be listed in the Speed field.
The area also shows the status of the port-WLAN associations. In this case, the adopted Access Ports for
each of the associated WLANs are listed.
11.2.3 STP Stats
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a OSI Layer-2 protocol for Bridged LANs. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a
OSI Layer-2 protocol for a bridged LAN. It creates a spanning tree within a Mesh network of connected
bridges and disables links that are not a part of the tree leaving a single active path between any two
network nodes.
The protocol allows a network design to include redundant links to provide an automatic backup path(s) in
case the primary path fails avoiding loops between bridges or any manual intervention.
Transmitted Field Description
TX Packets The total number of data packets sent over the subnet
TX Bytes The total number of bytes of information sent over the subnet
TX Errors The total number of errors including dropped data packets, buffer overruns, and carrier errors
that fail on outbound traffic
TX Dropped The number of data packets that fail to get sent from the subnet
TX Overruns The total number of buffer overruns (when packets are sent faster than the subnet can
handle them)
TX Carrier The total number of TCP/IP data carrier errors received
