The Config page displays information about the selected wireless access point device. Information includes the following:

  • Timestamp: The date and time when the device was last queried by NetMRI.

  • Interface: Lists the interface for the device. As an example, for Cisco devices, you will typically see interfaces such as Do0 for dot11radio 0. This item is also a link to the Interface Viewer.

  • Station ID: If configured, the numeric value station ID number for the device defaults to 0.

  • Service set ID (SSID): The natural-language service set identifier.

  • Role: Indicates the role in the radio network defined for the device, if any (uses the Cisco station-role command). Possible values include Root Bridge (roleRoot), Non-Root Bridge, Root Bridge with Wireless Clients, Non-Root Bridge with Wireless Clients, and Universal Workgroup Bridge.

  • WEP Enabled: Indicates whether the WEP protocol is enabled for use on the device. WEP uses static encryption keys and is generally considered to be obsoleted by the newer WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) protocol.

  • WEP Allowed: Indicates whether WEP authentication is allowed on the device.

  • WEP Errors: The count of WEP errors detected by the wireless device.

  • Key Len 1-4: The specified WEP key lengths, if any.

For devices running Aironet or Cisco IOS-based software, the page displays information about the auxiliary SSID configuration and algorithms used on the device.
