About the Aironet Current Active Clients report

This home-level dashboard report lists the clients currently connected to the wireless access point (WAP) and displays important statistical information for each wireless device connected to the WAP. You can also click the (WAP) device name link, at the top of the report, to access the device status report. For more information, see Understanding the Device Status dashboard.

If you use the WhatsUp Flow Monitor plug-in with WhatsUp Gold, you can click the icon to drill down into the Flow Monitor reports for specific source and destination information about the wireless device and its conversation partners.

The first two columns are fixed attributes (Name and IP Address) and the remaining columns are user configurable. You can configure the dashboard report to display the following parameters in addition to the default attributes: MAC Address, Signal Strength, Data Rate, Connected Since, SSID, Bytes Sent, Bytes Received, Duplicate Packets, MSDU Retries, MSDU Fails, WEP Errors for each wireless device, MIC Errors, and MIC Missing Frames.

The following wireless client information is available in this report by default:

Name. Lists the wireless device name. This is the Cisco IOS device hostname if the other end of the association is a bridge, access point, or repeater. If it is a wireless client, this is the configured client name. If this value is not available, then a lookup of the client's manufacturer is done based on client's MAC address. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.2.1.1.13.
IP Address. Lists the wireless device IP address. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.2.1.1.16.
SSID. Lists the Service Set Identifier (SSID), or assigned device name, associated with the radio interface to broadcast its identity. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.272.1.1.1.6.1.2.
Note: There can be multiple SSIDs for each radio.
MAC Address. Lists the wireless device Media Access Control (MAC) address (physical address).
Signal Strength. Indicates the connection strength of the wireless device to the WAP. Each bar indicates 20% signal strength. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.3.

Signal bar	Signal Strength
	None
	Poor
	Fair
	Good
	Very Good
	Excellent

Data Rate. Indicates the current data transmit rate for this client. Rate value is within the range from 2 to 127, corresponding to data rates in increments of 500 kb/s from 1 Mb/s to 63.5 Mb/s. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.1.
Connected Since. Lists the time that the wireless device connected to the WAP. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.2.

The following wireless client information is available as options for this report:

Bytes Sent. Lists the number of bytes sent by the wireless device to the wireless access point (WAP). The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.9.
Bytes Received. Lists the number of bytes received by the wireless device from the wireless access point (WAP). The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.7.
Duplicate Packets. Lists the number of packets sent by the client (received by the WAP) for which the Sequence Control box in the packet header indicates that the packet is a duplicate. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.10.
MSDU Retries. Lists the number of times a MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) is successfully transmitted after one or more retransmissions for this client. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.11.
MSDU Fails. Lists the number times a MAC Service Data Unit (MDSU) is not transmitted successfully for this client due to the number of transmit attempts exceeding retry limit. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.12.
WEP Errors. Lists the number of Wired Equivalent Privacy (security algorithm) errors that occurred during the data transmission between the wireless device and the (WAP). The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.13.
MIC Errors. Lists the number of message integrity code (MIC) errors occurred for this client. MIC is an algorithm used to gauge the integrity of a message. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.14.
MIC Missing Frames. Lists the number of missing message integrity code (MIC) packets for this client. MIC is an algorithm used to gauge the integrity of a message. The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.273.1.3.1.1.15.
