Station Configuration

Use this page (Monitor > Devices > All Stations > Station Statistics tab) to view station configuration information.  

You can review the following station information on this page.
MAC Address MAC address of the station.
VLAN Name The VLAN name as configured on the Radius server, associated with this station, if applicable.
IP Address Type Method by which the IP address of the station is assigned:
  • IP address discovered
  • Static IP address assigned: Station uses a static IP address.
  • Dynamic IP address assigned: Station uses a static IP address, which was associated with the station's MAC address in the Meru WLAN. By associating an IP address with a MAC address in the Meru WLAN, no other client can use that IP address, and if the client tries to use another IP address, the client is denied.
  • DHCP: Station uses an IP address assigned by DHCP.
  • Unknown: Address assignment is not known.
AP ID Identification number of the access point that the station is using
AP Name Name of the access point.
L2 Security State Layer 2 authentication that can be used:
  • Clear: The WLAN does not require authentication or encryption, and the WLAN does not secure client traffic. This is the default setting. 
  • 802.1X: Can provide 802.1X authentication and WEP64 or WEP128 encryption.
  • Static WEP keys: Requires that stations use a WEP key (see step 6). 
  • WPA: Requires 802.1X Radius server authentication with one of the EAP types; see step 4 to select a pre-configured Radius server profile.
  • WPA PSK: Uses the TKIP encryption protocol and requires a shared key (see step 11 to enter the shared Key).
  • WPA2: Requires 802.1x Radius server authentication with one of the EAP types (see step 4 to select a pre-configured Radius server profile).
  • WPA2 PSK: Uses the CCMP-AES encryption protocol and requires a pre-shared key (see step 12 to enter the pre-shared key).
  • MIXED: Allows both WPA and WPA2 clients using a single security profile.
  • MIXED PSK: Allows pre-shared key clients to use a single security profile.
L3 Security State Layer 3 authentication that can be used:
  • Clear: No authentication used.
  • Webauth: Webauth used as authentication method for Captive Portal
  • Clear Active:
Authenticated User Name Username used during 802.1X authorization process. (Usernames only appear for clients entering the network using 802.1X authorization.)
Tag The tag number as configured on the Radius server, associated with this station, if applicable.
RF Band The radio band of the AP that the station uses.
Client IP IP address assigned to the station. IPv6 addresses display similar to fe80:0000:0000:0000:020d:93ff:fe7e:83a7 instead of a normal 4-tuple IP address.
