A WorkGroup Bridge (WGB) connects wireless networks to larger, wired Ethernet networks. A work group bridge acts as a wireless client on the wireless LAN and then interfaces to a wired network. The information provided in this page is useful to troubleshoot the network and to gather information such as what interface a client has connected to on the AP and what VLAN the client received from the DHCP. Also, it displays the packet and byte counts for traffic between stations on a WorkGroup Bridge. This article explains how to view the statistics of WorkGroup Bridge Transmit/Receive on the WAP121 and WAP321 access points.
• WAP121
• WAP321
• 1.0.3.4
Step 1. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Status and Statistics > WorkGroup Bridge Transmit/Receive. The WorkGroup Bridge Transmit/Receive page opens:
The Traffic Statistics table contain the following fields:
• Network Interface — Displays the LAN interface and Virtual access point (VAP) interfaces of the AP.
• Status and Statistics — Indicates whether the particular interface is up or down.
• VLAN ID — Indicated what VLAN ID the VAP belongs to. Different VLAN IDs are used to create multiple networks in the same AP.
• Name (SSID) — Displays the alphanumeric key that uniquely identifies a VAP.
The Transmit/Receive tables contain the following fields.
• Network Interface — Displays the LAN interface and Virtual access point (VAP) interfaces of the AP.
• Total Packets — Displays the total packets bridged between the clients in the WorkGroup Bridge and the wireless network at that interface.
• Total Bytes — Displays the total bytes bridged between the clients in the WorkGroup Bridge and the wireless network at that interface.
