Each client is identified by its MAC address, along with theaccess point (location) to which it is currently connected.NOTEWhen accessing the Cluster - Sessions page, a maximum of 20 clients are reportedper radio. To see all the associated clients, access the Client Associations page ofthe access point.To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Displaydropdown list and click Go. You can view information about idle time, data rate,signal strength and so forth; all of which are described in detail in Table 37.A session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device(station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wirelessnetwork. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and thesession ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connectionfor some other reason.NOTEA session is not the same as an association, which describes a client connection toa particular access point. A client network connection can shift from one clusteredaccess point to another within the context of the same session. A client station canroam between access points and maintain the session.To manage sessions associated with the cluster, click the Sessions tab.Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 142
