7 Monitoring Status and Statistics applies to WEP (which is not recommended due to security issues) that uses Shared Key authentication when the key is incorrect. The client authentication failure status for an individual client shows information about the client that failed to authenticate or associate with an AP and list the number of authentication or association failures. A client with a high number of failed authentications might indicate a possible threat to the WLAN. Table 51 shows the fields on the detail page for Client Authentication Failure Status. Table 51. Client Authentication Failure Status Field MAC Address BSSID SSID Last Failure Type Authentication Failure Count Association Failure Count Age Description The Ethernet address of the client. The managed AP VAP Ethernet MAC address on which the client attempted to associate and/or authenticate. The network SSID on which client attempted to associate and/ or authenticate. Indicates the last type of failure that occurred, which can be Authentication or Association. Count of authentication failures for this client. Count of association failures for this client. Time since failure occurred. Monitoring and Managing Ad Hoc Clients An ad hoc client is a wireless client that gains access to the WLAN through a wireless client that is associated with an access point. The ad hoc client does not communicate directly with the AP. Ad hoc networks are a particular concern because they consume RF bandwidth and can present a security risk. Status entries for ad hoc clients 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. From the Monitoring > Client > Ad Hoc Clients page, you can view and manage wireless clients that are connected to the WLAN through an ad hoc network. Figure 67.
