Excluding clients from association

Optionally, use the access point Access Control List ACL to specify which clients can

or cannot gain access to an access point managed WLAN. By default, all mobile

units can gain access. For specific information on configuring (restricting) client

access, refer to the Brocade Mobility 7131 Series Access Point Product Reference

Guide available at the Brocade Web site.

Testing mobile unit connectivity

Verify the access point’s link with an client by sending Wireless Network

Management Protocol (WNMP) ping packets to the associated client. Use the Echo

Test screen to specify a target client and configure the parameters of the ping test.

The WNMP ping test only works with Motorola clients. Only use a Motorola client to

test connectivity using WNMP.

To ping a specific client to assess its connection with an access point:

NOTE

Before testing for connectivity, the target client needs to be set to the same ESSID

as the access point. Since WPA2/CCMP has been configured for the access point,

the client also needs to be configured for WPA2/CCMP and use the same keys.

Ensure the client is associated with the access point before testing for connectivity.

1. Select Status and Statistics - > MU Stats from the menu tree.

2. Select the Echo Test button from within the client Stats Summary screen.

3. Define the following ping test parameters:

4. Click the Ping button to begin transmitting ping packets to the client address

specified.

Station Address

The station address is the IP address of the target client. Refer to

the MU Stats Summary screen for associated client information.

Number of ping

Specify the number of ping packets to transmit to the target client.

The default is 100.

Packet Length

Specify the length of each data packet transmitted to the target

client during the ping test. The default is 100 bytes.
