Meaning
Re-Reg Count
When an SM makes a registration request, the AP checks its local
data to see whether it considers the SM to be already registered. If the
AP concludes that the SM is not, then the request increments the
value of this field. Typically, a Re-Reg is the case where both
an SM attempts to reregister for having lost communication with
the AP.
the AP has not yet observed the link to the SM as being down.
If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for
other SMs, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting,
alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a
spectrum scan).
Sustained Uplink Data
Rate
This field displays the value that is currently in effect for the SM, with
the source of that value in parentheses. This is the specified rate at
which each SM registered to this AP is replenished with credits for
transmission. The configuration source of the value is indicated in
parentheses.
The AP will display one of the following for the configuration source:
(SM) – QoS/VLAN parameters are derived from the SM‘s settings
(APCAP) – QoS/VLAN parameters are derived from the AP‘s
settings, including any keyed capping (for radios capped at 4
Mbps, 10 Mbps, or 20 Mbps)
(D) – QoS/VLAN parameters are retrieved from the device, due
to failed retrieval from the AAA or WM server.
(AAA) – QoS/VLAN parameters are retrieved from the RADIUS
server
(BAM) – QoS/VLAN parameters are retrieved from a WM BAM
server
