7 Monitoring Status and Statistics Table 27. Managed Access Point Status Field Switch Port IP Address Software Version Age Status Configuration Status Profile Radio Channel Authenticated Clients Description The physical port (in the slot/port format) on the switch that the AP is connected to either directly or indirectly in the same L3 domain. If the AP is beyond the L3 network boundary, then 'Unknown' is displayed. The network IP address of the managed AP. The software version the AP is currently running. Time since last communication between the WDS and the AP. The current managed state of the AP. The possible values are: • Discovered - The AP is discovered and by the switch, but is not yet authenticated. • Authenticated - The AP has been validated and authenticated (if authentication is enabled), but it is not configured. • Managed - The AP profile configuration has been applied to the AP and it's operating in managed mode. • Failed - The Unified Switch lost contact with the AP, a failed entry will remain in the managed AP database unless you remove it. Note that a managed AP will temporarily show a failed status during a reset. This status indicates if the AP is configured successfully with the assigned profile. The status is one of the following: • Not Configured - The profile has not been sent to the AP yet, the AP may be discovered but not yet authenticated. • In Progress - The switch is currently sending the AP profile configuration packet to the AP. • Success - The entire profile has been sent to the AP and there were no configuration errors. • Partial Success - The entire profile has been sent to the AP and there were configuration errors (for example, some configuration parameters were not accepted), but the AP is operational. • Failure - The profile has been sent to the AP and there were configuration errors, the AP is not operational. The AP profile configuration currently applied to the managed AP, the profile is assigned to the AP in the valid AP database. NOTE: Once an AP is discovered and managed by the Unified Switch, if the profile is changed in the valid AP database (either locally or on the RADIUS server) the AP must be reset to configure with the new profile. Shows the wireless radio mode that each radio on the AP is using. The D-Link DWL-3500AP access point has one radio, and the D-Link DWL-8500AP access point has two radios. Shows the operating channel for the radio. Shows the number of wireless clients associated and associated with the access point per radio. NOTE: You can sort the list of APs by any column heading except Radio, Channel, and Authenticated Clients. For example, to sort the APs by the profile they use, click Profile.

Monitoring Status and Statistics
NOTE:
You can sort the list of APs by any column heading except
Radio
,
Channel
,
and
Authenticated Clients
. For example, to sort the APs by the profile they
use, click
Profile
.
Switch Port
The physical port (in the slot/port format) on the switch that the AP is
connected to either directly or indirectly in the same L3 domain. If the AP is
beyond the L3 network boundary, then ‘Unknown’ is displayed.
IP Address
The network IP address of the managed AP.
Software Version
The software version the AP is currently running.
Age
Time since last communication between the WDS and the AP.
Status
The current managed state of the AP. The possible values are:
Discovered - The AP is discovered and by the switch, but is not yet
authenticated.
Authenticated - The AP has been validated and authenticated (if
authentication is enabled), but it is not configured.
Managed - The AP profile configuration has been applied to the AP and
it's operating in managed mode.
Failed - The Unified Switch lost contact with the AP, a failed entry will
remain in the managed AP database unless you remove it. Note that a
managed AP will temporarily show a failed status during a reset.
Configuration
Status
This status indicates if the AP is configured successfully with the assigned
profile. The status is one of the following:
Not Configured - The profile has not been sent to the AP yet, the AP
may be discovered but not yet authenticated.
In Progress - The switch is currently sending the AP profile
configuration packet to the AP.
Success - The entire profile has been sent to the AP and there were no
configuration errors.
Partial Success - The entire profile has been sent to the AP and there
were configuration errors (for example, some configuration parameters
were not accepted), but the AP is operational.
Failure - The profile has been sent to the AP and there were
configuration errors, the AP is not operational.
Profile
The AP profile configuration currently applied to the managed AP, the
profile is assigned to the AP in the valid AP database.
NOTE:
Once an AP is discovered and managed by the Unified Switch, if the
profile is changed in the valid AP database (either locally or on the RADIUS
server) the AP must be reset to configure with the new profile.
Radio
Shows the wireless radio mode that each radio on the AP is using. The
D-Link DWL-3500AP access point has one radio, and the D-Link
DWL-8500AP access point has two radios.
Channel
Shows the operating channel for the radio.
Authenticated
Clients
Shows the number of wireless clients associated and associated with the
access point per radio.
