Monitoring Managed Access Point Status 141
7 Monitoring Status and Statistics
Viewing Managed Access Point VAP Statistics
The VAP statistics show information about the client failures and number of packets and bytes
transmitted and received on each VAP on radio one or two for a particular access point
managed by the switch.
Table 38 describes the fields you see on the VAP page for the managed access point statistics.
Multicast Frames Transmitted Count of successfully transmitted MSDU frames where the
multicast bit is set in the destination MAC address.
Duplicate Frame Count Number of times a frame is received and the Sequence
Control field indicates is a duplicate.
Failed Transmit Count Number of times a MSDU is not transmitted successfully due
to transmit attempts exceeding either the short retry limit or
the long retry limit.
Transmit Retry Count Number of times a MSDU is successfully transmitted after
one or more retries.
Multiple Retry Count Number of times a MSDU is successfully transmitted after
more than one retry.
RTS Success Count Count of CTS frames received in response to an RTS frame.
RTS Failure Count Count of CTS frames not received in response to an RTS
frame.
ACK Failure Count Count of ACK frames not received when expected.
FCS Error Count Count of FCS errors detected in a received MPDU frame.
Frames Transmitted Count of each successfully transmitted MSDU.
WEP Undecryptable Count Count of encrypted frames received and the key configuration
of the transmitter indicates that the frame should not have
been encrypted or that frame was discarded due to the
receiving station not implementing the privacy option.

statistics. All VAPs are available regardless of whether they are
enabled.
