2StatusAssociated ClientsTable 5FieldStatusAssociated Clients Field DescriptionsDescriptionThe Authenticated and Associated Status shows theunderlying IEEE 802.11 authentication and associationstatus that is present no matter which type of security theclient uses to connect to the access point. This statusdoes not show the IEEE 802.1X authentication orassociation status.Some points to keep in mind with regard to this field are:• If the AP security mode is None or Static WEP, theauthentication and association status of clientsshowing on the Client Associations tab will be inline with what is expected; that is, if a client showsas authenticated to the access point, it will be ableto transmit and receive data. (This is becauseStatic WEP uses only IEEE 802.11 authentication.)• If the access point uses IEEE 802.1X or WPAsecurity, however, it is possible for a clientassociation to show on this tab as authenticated(by using IEEE 802.11 security) but actually not beauthenticated to the access point by using thesecond layer of security.From StationTo StationShows the number of packets and bytes received fromthe wireless client and the number of packets and bytesthat were dropped after being received.Shows the number of packets and bytes transmittedfrom the access point to the wireless client and thenumber of packets and bytes that were dropped upontransmission.33 Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide
