To display connection information for APs configured on a WSS, use the show ap global command on one of the
switches where the AP is configured.
The counters above are global for all data rates. The counters below are for individual data rates.
Note: If counters for lower data rates are incrementing but counters for higher data rates are not
incrementing, this can indicate poor throughput. The poor throughput can be caused by
interference. If the cause is not interference or the interference cannot be eliminated, you might
need to relocate the AP in order to use the higher data rates and therefore improve throughput.
TxUniPkt Number of unicast packets transmitted by the radio.
TxMultiPkt Number of multicast packets transmitted by the radio.
TxUniByte Number of unicast bytes transmitted by the radio.
TxMultiByte Number of multicast bytes transmitted by the radio.
RxPkt Number of packets received by the radio.
RxByte Number of bytes received by the radio.
UndcrptPkt Number of undecryptable packets received by the radio. It is
normal for this counter to increment even in stable networks and
does not necessarily indicate an attack. For example, a client
might be sending incorrect key information. However, if the
counter increments rapidly, there might be a problem in the
network.
UndcrptByte Number of undecryptable bytes received by the radio. (See the
description for UndcrptPkt.)
PhyError Number of packets that could not be decoded by the AP. This
condition can have any of the following causes:
Collision of an 802.11 packet.
Packet whose source is too far away, thus
rendering the packet unintelligible by the time it
reaches the AP.
Interference caused by an 802.11b/g phone or
other source.
It is normal for this counter to be about 10 percent of the total
RxByte count. It is also normal for higher data rates to have
higher Phy error counts than lower data rates.
