D-Link Unified Access System User Manual Table 38. Managed Access Point VAP Statistics Field WLAN Bytes Transmitted Client Association Failures Client Authentication Failures Description Total bytes transmitted by the AP on this VAP. Number of clients that have been denied association to the VAP. Number of clients that have failed authentication to the VAP. Viewing Access Point Authentication Failure Status An AP might fail to associate to the switch due to errors such as invalid packet format or vendor ID, or because the AP is not configured as a valid AP with the correct local or RADIUS authentication information. Status entries for failed access points are collected at a point in time and eventually age out. The age value for each entry shows how long ago the switch recorded the entry. You can configure the age out time for status entries on the Administration > Advanced Configuration > Global page. You can also manually delete status entries. To view a list of APs that failed to associate with the D-Link Unified Switch, click Monitoring > Access Points > Authentication Failed Access Points. Figure 63. Authentication Failed AP Status The AP authentication failure list shows information about APs that failed to establish communication with the D-Link Unified Switch. The AP can fail due to one of the following reasons: • No Database Entry-The MAC address of the AP is not in the local Valid AP database or the external RADIUS server database, so the AP has not been validated. • Authentication-The authentication password configured in the AP did not match the password configured in the local database or RADIUS database. To delete the entries for all APs from the failure list, click Delete All. To configure an Authentication Failed AP to be managed by the switch the next time it is discovered, select the check box next to the MAC address of the AP and click Manage. You will be presented with the Valid Access Point Configuration page. You can then configure the AP and click Submit to save the AP in the local Valid AP database. If you use a RADIUS server for AP validation, you must add the MAC address of the AP to the RADIUS server database.
