info wlan

Purpose

Displays statistics for wireless LAN (WLAN) communications activity.

Statistics that display are gathered since the statistic tables were last cleared by rebooting the Digi device, and include data, event, and error counts. These statistics are useful in understanding how the device is operating and can be helpful in finding problems. In particular, if an error counter is found to be increasing there may be a problem with the device.

To reset the statistics, reboot the device.

Required permissions

For Digi products with two or more users, set permissions to set permissions display=execute to use this command. See set permissions for details on setting user permissions for commands.

Syntax

Output

Wireless LAN (WLAN) statistics

The WLAN statistics may aid in troubleshooting network communication problems with your wireless network.

For additional wireless settings and an evaluation of the wireless settings, issue a show wlan command. See show.

Wireless transmit statistics

Statistic	Description
Bytes	Number of bytes transmitted.
Directed frames	Number of frames transmitted.
Broadcast frames	Number of broadcast frames transmitted.
RTS frames	Number of Request-to-Send (RTS) frames transmitted.
Retries	Number of times an outgoing frame is retransmitted because the acknowledgment for the frame was not received.
Exceeded retry limit	Number of outgoing frames that were dropped because the maximum number of retries were exceeded for the frame.
Broadcast errors	Number of broadcast frames dropped because the acknowledgment for the frame was not received.
Not associated	Number of outgoing packets dropped because the device had not yet associated with a wireless network.

Wireless receive statistics

Statistic	Description
Bytes	Number of bytes received.
Directed frames	Number of received frames.
Broadcast frames	Number of received broadcast frames.
RTS frames	Number of RTS frames received.
Retries	Number of incoming frames that have the retry bit set in their frame header. The retry bit indicates that the other side has attempted to transmit a given frame more than once.
No buffers	Number of received frames dropped due to no buffer.
Invalid frames	Number of incoming frames dropped because the frame appeared incorrect.
Duplicate frames	Number of incoming frames dropped because a given frame had already been received.
Exceeded lifetime	Number of fragmented frames dropped because the fragment timed out before the rest of the frame sequence was received.
Decryption errors	Number of frames dropped because they were not properly encrypted.
Too large	Number of frames dropped because their frame size was too big
Hardware overruns	Number of receive frames dropped because of hardware overruns.
Replay detected	Number of times an attempt to replay a packet was detected.
MIC failed	Number of times a data integrity check using Message Integrity Code (MIC) failed.
