7 Clustering Multiple Access Points Viewing Wireless Neighborhood Information Table 42 Cluster Member Details Field SSID Description The Service Set Identifier (SSID) this access point is on. The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also referred to as the Network Name. MAC Address A guest network and an Internal network running on the same access point must have two different network names. Shows the MAC address of the neighboring access point. Channel A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. Shows the channel on which the access point is broadcasting. Rate The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses for transmitting and receiving. Shows the rate (in megabits per second) at which this access point is currently transmitting. The current rate will always be one of the rates shown in Supported Rates. Signal Indicates the strength of the radio signal emitting from this access point measured in decibels (Db). Beacon Interval Shows the Beacon interval being used by this access point. Beacon Age Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular intervals to announce the existence of the wireless network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second). Shows the date and time of the last beacon received from this access point. 155 Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide

Cluster Member Details
Field
Description
SSID
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) this access point is on.
The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that
uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also
referred to as the
Network Name
.
A guest network and an Internal network running on the same
access point must have two different network names.
MAC Address
Shows the MAC address of the neighboring access point.
A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies
each node of a network.
Channel
Shows the channel on which the access point is broadcasting.
The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the
radio uses for transmitting and receiving.
Rate
Shows the rate (in megabits per second) at which this access
point is currently transmitting.
The current rate will always be one of the rates shown in
Supported Rates.
Signal
Indicates the strength of the radio signal emitting from this
access point measured in decibels (Db).
Beacon Interval
Shows the Beacon interval being used by this access point.
Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular
intervals to announce the existence of the wireless network. The
default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every 100
milliseconds (or 10 per second).
Beacon Age
Shows the date and time of the last beacon received from this
access point.
