Encrypted Pkts Sent Total encrypted data packets transmitted

Data Bytes Sent

Total data packets transmitted in bytes

BC/MC Packets Sent

Broadcast/multicast user data packets successfully transmitted

BC/MC Bytes Sent

Broadcast/multicast user data bytes successfully transmitted

Sys Packets Sent

System packets successfully transmitted

SBC/MC Packets Sent

Broadcast/multicast system packets successfully transmitted

Succ Frag Packets

Fragmented packets successfully transmitted

Unsucc Frag Packets

Fragmented packets unsuccessfully transmitted

Fragments Sent

Packet fragments transmitted

Packets w/o Retries

Transmitted packets not affected by retries

Packets w/ Retries

Transmitted packets affected by retries

Packets w/ Max Retries

Transmitted packets affected by the maximum limit of retries

Total Retries

Retries occurring on the interface. A retry occurs if the device fails to receive an acknowledgment (ACK) from a destination

Data Packets Rcvd

Total data packets received

Encrypted Pkts Rcvd Total encrypted packets received

Data Bytes Rcvd

Total data packets received in bytes

BC/MC Packets Rcvd

Broadcast/multicast user data packets successfully received

BC/MC Bytes Rcvd

Broadcast/multicast user data bytes successfully received

Sys Packets Rcvd

System packets successfully received

SBC/MC Packets Rcvd

Broadcast/multicast system packets successfully received

Succ Reass Packets

Packets successfully reassembled

Unsucc Reass Packets

Packets unsuccessfully reassembled

Fragments Rcvd

Packet fragments received

Rcv Duplicate Pkts

Duplicate packets received by the access point. This indicates the access point sent an ACK, but the client did not receive it and transmitted the packet again.

Undecryptable Pkts

Total data packets that could not be decrypted

Rcv CRC Errors

Packets received that contained Cyclic Redundancy Check ( CRC ) errors. A client transmitted a corrupt data packet and failed to pass the CRC verification. Make sure that any acknowledgment of the data packet contains the correct CRC word. An incorrect CRC causes the access point to discard the data packet.

Rcv ICV Errors

Packets received containing Identity Check Value (ICV) errors. A client transmitted a corrupt data packet and failed to pass the ICV verification. The calculated ICV value does not match with the ICV value in the received packet.
