Show dot11 statistics client-traffic

I'm trying to interpret output from the 'show dot11 statistics client-traffic' command in autonomous IOS version 15.2(4)JB4 on a 3600-series access point. Finding a detailed description of each data point being reported has been very difficult - c'mon Cisco! For my purposes I'm most interested in what is being reported in the 'Retry' and 'RSSI' fields. It seems like RSSI in dBm is being reported but I'd like confirmation from someone who knows because in older versions of IOS it seems like this value might have been a percentage value on a scale of 0 to 100% with 0 being -113dBm and 100 being -10dBm.
Here is a sample of the output from my access point:

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You want the RSSI (Radio Signal Strength Indicator) and the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of a particular client?
You have to run one or two commands then. The first one is "sh dot11 s". This will show you the wireless MAC address of a client. Copy-n-Paste the MAC address of your choice and use the command "sh dot11 s ".
Does this answer your question?

Wireless - show dot11 statistics client-traffic

Below is the output from the above command:
1-001d.e049.f5a7 pak in 25 bytes in 3272 pak out 8 bytes out 1364
      dup 0 decrpyt err 0 mic mismatch 0 mic miss 0
      tx retries 0 data retries 0 rts retries 0
      signal strength 72 signal quality 27
But I am unable to find any documentation of the signal strength and signal quality?
Does anyone have a chart or docs as to what the figures mean? is it out of 100 and 100 been best etc?
Many Thanks

Show Dot11 Commands

Hi all,
Can somebody ,please, clarify for me what the command "show dot11 statistics client-traffic" shows to me? The output usually looks like:
xxxx.xxxx.xxx pak in 24289 bytes in 5050182 pak out 32230 bytes out 35936358
dup 47 decrpyt err 0 mic mismatch 0 mic miss 0
tx retries 3455 data retries 3455 rts retries 0
signal strength 62 signal quality N/A
But is the units for signal strength are dBm or mW? And why the quality is N/A? What values are better ? 60 or 19 (for strength)? So if anybody can provide me with an explanation for the last 2 lines it would be great. By the way, do you know where on Cisco.com all the "show dot11" commands get explained?
Cause, additional hard to understood output is "show dot11 associations" shows MACs "not related to any ssid" (how can it be in the first place?) or shows MACs which are do associated to (the only) broadcasted SSID but the IP is 0.0.0.0? Why and what does it mean?
Thanks in advance,
Alex.

First of all thank you for answering my question. On the other hand, look - this was the first place for me to go on Cisco.com. Unfortunately (and this is the very problem itself), for some odd and mysterious reasons there is no clear explanation for those commands on this or any other page on Cisco.com. In fact, the only (!) explanation for "show dot11 statistics client-traffic" is "Use the show dot 11 statistics client-traffic privileged EXEC command to display the radio client traffic statistics".
No single word about the output and it interpretation. That's strange as its sounds.
The same goes for why there are Macs which are "not associated to any SSID" in "show dot11 associations".
So, if anybody knows the answer for the previously posted questions - please post the answers. For my opinion it would be interesting for the whole community.

WCS 6.0 client traffic reports

I've looked around in the reports trying to find one that generates the Client Traffic report on the Home page under the Client tab. It is just a plain and simple graph that shows how much bandwidth has been used. I've only seen reports that show how much bandwidth a client has used or each individual wlc. I just need an overall bandwidth usage. Does anyone know how to create this graph via Reports or any other way?
Thanks
Brock

How about this:
Reports > Report Launch Pad > Client > Client Summary > Client Summary Report Details
Customize the report and only include:
Number of Sessions - Required
Number of Users - Required
Total Traffic (MB)
Total Throughput (Mbps)

WCS v7.0 - Client Traffic Stats

Hi,
I have a demo license version of WCS v7.0 set up for a customer trial which is controlling a WLC-4402 and approx 10 access points.
Everything is working normally and as I would expect apart from the 'Client Traffic' reporting. When I check the graphs on 'WCS Home' > 'Client' tab, the Client Count graphs are working and showing correct data but the Client Traffic graph is showing 0Kbps. I have also tried running a Client Traffic report and this also shows a graph with 0Kbps. I know that there are a number of users associated and passing traffic but I cannot find any reason why this is not recording and reporting correctly.
Does anyone have any pointers or advice for what to check next?
Many thanks,
Paul.

Hi Paul,
That's exactly the issue as v1 doesn't have the ability to poll objects which have 64 bit counters which the client traffic metrics are.
Change the version to SNMP v2 from WCS
Configure --> Controllers --> Click on the IP of the WLC ---> Under 'SNMP parameters' --> click save.
Wait for few hours & you should start seeing the graph getting populated.

About the output of "show dot11 associations" command.

Hello.
I have been made to the research of IP Phone 9971 . (Used by Wireless)
The schematic diagram is shown below.
CUCM
      |
L3-SW
      |
AP 1142 (FW:15.2(2)JB)
      |
CP-9971 (FW:9.3(2))
The results of the "show dot11 associations" command are output as follows.
ap#show dot11 associations
802.11 Client Stations on Dot11Radio0:
SSID [XXXXXX]:
MAC Address   IP Address      Device          Name                      Parent       State
0026.cba3.0b9f 10.10.60.12     CP-7925       SEP0026CBA30B9F self           Assoc <-----Here!
f0b4.799f.a9a4 10.10.60.10     unknown       -                              self           Assoc
ap#
I'm using the IP Phone 9971 (not CP-7925).
But the output of "show dot11 associations" command, has become "CP-7925" on Device.
What Is this by Design? Will it bug or?
Thank you very much in advance.
Shigeru Kubota

Hi, Kayle
Thanks a lot for replay.
I am using an autonomous access point.(AP 1142)
Device firmware is the latest version.
(AP 1142 : 15.2(2)JB , CP-9971 : 9.3(2))
As with you, I'm guessing that the access point does not recognize the CP-9971 device, too.
I'll try to contact the TAC.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
Shigeru Kubota

Voice mails aren't showing in Lync client

We have Lync 2010 server in Exchange 2007 environment.
I have the voice message in outlook but it doesn't shows it in Lync client.
Changes made...
We powered off old two Exchange CAS servers and brought up two new CAS servers.
EWS is deployed and in Lync configuration, it shows the same "EWS deployed"
Conversation history folder, messages are getting saved.
free/busy info working as expected.
Voice messages aren't showing in Lync client and Lync status isn't getting changed, when outlook scheduled meeting. But Lync gets changing the status to In call, Conference Call, In Meeting when there is a Lync scheduled meeting.
lync srv record are there in DNS
any other record needs to be created for this issue? I mean to pull the EWS info from exchange?
Funnyghost

Lync requires Exchange EWS for this functionality. As mentioned above check if EWS has a status of "OK", if it doesnt check that Exchange autodiscover is correctly configured for the new CAS servers. This is a useful tool - https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/.
Additionally is is always worth deleting Lync sign-in info to remove the cache and force Lync to detect servers again.

AP WLC Client Traffic Query

Hi Experts,
I was trying to find any documentation explaining how return traffic works for wifi client data traffic in a capwap AP WLC architecture where the APs are in local mode (no HREAP) but was unable to find any detailed references for this. I am specifically interested to find out if return traffic goes directly back to the client or whether it still goes via the WLC.
Some docs state that all traffic goes via the WLC-AP tunnel. If this is the case then this means the WLC is performing NAT on the client traffic. This assumption would also support the need for anchors in a roaming-mobility design. The thing is i can't find any excerpts stating that NAT is indeed being performed by the WLC.
Hope you could enlighten me on this.
Thanks in advance.

All traffic to and from a client will traverse the WLC and CAPWAP tunnel.
NAT is not performed by the WLC for any client traffic. The WLC is a layer 2 devices that needs to have all the client vlan's trunked to it.
HTH,
Steve

Traffic not showing in Notifications IOS 7. I have all turned on in notifications and location services allowed in Maps. I have been all over internet, followed set up instructions, even re-set settings (fixed weather not showing) but still no traffic?

Traffic not showing in Notifications IOS 7. I have all turned on in notifications and location services allowed in Maps. I have been all over internet, followed set up instructions, even re-set settings (fixed weather not showing) but still no traffic?

I should clarify: I didn't know it fell out, but I check my phone often enough that there were only about 10 minutes between when I last put it in my pocket and then realized it wasn't there.
We asked everyone around us if they saw it, and like 10 people were helping us look. But my husband used Find My iPhone and the Prey app right away when we realized it was missing (again, at most 15 minutes from the last time I used it) and it was already in offline / "cannot locate" mode.

JRA not showing Object Statistics

I am having trouble getting JRA to show 'Object Statistics' as well as the 'Heap

Any ideas what might be happening?
I use these options to start the app:
-Xms256m -Xmx768m -Xmanagement -Xgc:parallel
and jrockit version:
java version "1.4.1_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_05)

OK, got it. I moved to jrockit-j2sdk1.4.2_03 and it worked.

Notification not showing on XP client

Hi
I got SCCM 2007 r3 setup and it see's the client pc which is Windows XP but when I am trying to push out a windows update , a notification is now showing on the client machine , is there something I missed on this?
Thank you.
DJ SAI

Hi,
Is it only for Windows XP clients that the popus are not showing? or do you have other clients with other versions? For Windows xp it was popular to disable balloon notifications which could affect it. You can also select to "hide all notification for
end-users" under Client agents, software update agent..

How to restrict AP client-to-client traffic in same SSID

Dear all,
Please kindly advise how wireless client-to-client traffic can be restricted? The AP is controlled by WLC.
Thanks.
Eric

Hi Eric,
Great question! Here is the related info, note the nice change in WLC Version 4.2.x.x;
Q. In autonomous APs, Public Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF) is used to avoid client devices associated to this AP from inadvertently sharing files with other client devices on the wireless network. Is there any equivalent feature in Lightweight APs?
A. The feature or the mode that performs the similar function of PSPF in Lightweight architecture is called peer-to-peer blocking mode. Peer-to-peer blocking mode is actually available with the controllers that manage the LAP.
If this mode is disabled on the controller, which is by default, it allows the wireless clients to communicate with each other through the controller. If the mode is enabled, it blocks the communication between clients through the controller.
It only works among the APs that have joined to the same controller. When enabled, this mode does not block wireless clients terminated on one controller from the ability to get to wireless clients terminated on a different controller, even in the same mobility group.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_qanda_item09186a00806a4da3.shtml
Configuring Peer-to-Peer Blocking
In controller software releases prior to 4.2, peer-to-peer blocking is applied globally to all clients on all WLANs and causes traffic between two clients on the same VLAN to be transferred to the upstream VLAN rather than being bridged by the controller. This behavior usually results in traffic being dropped at the upstream switch because switches do not forward packets out the same port on which they are received.
In controller software release 4.2, peer-to-peer blocking is applied to individual WLANs, and each client inherits the peer-to-peer blocking setting of the WLAN to which it is associated.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/4.2/configuration/guide/c42wlan.html#wp1084832
Hope this helps!

Configure Wireshark on 3850 to capture bi-directional Wireless Client Traffic

I'm trying to configure Wireshark to capture bi-directional client traffic of a single wireless client only. The IP address is 10.10.10.14 on VLAN 1. Since I can't apply filters to the CAPWAP interface, I chose VLAN 1, with the following base commands.
monitor capture MCAP interface VLAN1 both
monitor capture MCAP file location usbflash:mcap.pcap buffer-size 1
monitor capture MCAP limit duration 120
If I configure "monitor capture MCAP match ipv4 any any" I get too much information. If I use "monitor capture MCAP match ipv4 host 10.10.10.14 any" I get packets transmitted by 10.10.10.14, but not the responses.
Is there a way to accomplish this, or do I need to use Wireshark to filter unwanted packets? If this were a busy AP, this could result in a very large capture file. Thanks for the help.
