DropReasons

[Aviv_Kedem]

Our AP's configured with trunk (3 tagged vlans) on eth side and we have about 500 per sec of these dropreasons:

1
DropReason: bc/mc to radio unneeded(218)
SAMPLE:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Packet 14:
Time: 8:55:39.507589, Len: 127, 802.3, Proto: 0x0800, Vlan: 500, Priority: 0, Ingress: ge1, l3_off: 18, l4_off: 38
DropReason: bc/mc to radio unneeded(218)
802.3: XX-XX-XX-5C-6E-80 > FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF, 802.11p pri 0, 802.11q vlan 500, protocol 0x0800
IPv4: XX.XX.2.72 > XX.XX.3.255, proto UDP, IPv4 length 109, DSCP 0, Id 0, DF
UDP: ports 9956 > 9956, data length 89
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why should I see this kind of dropreasons?

2
DropReason: non-[port] member vlan(205)
Why should I see the dropped packets from the vlans that NOT configured on ge1 switchport configuration ?

Thanks,

Thank you Alona,

May be I can check the radio buffer occupation by size or percentage ?

I think it's very strange that we don't have any indication about it on WING OS.
It's the most important resourse of AP.

Thanks

You can check channel utilization average. Airtime - not really.

In regards to question 1 - we will drop any broadcast that's not needed on the air - like arp for known client ot broadcast that came from the air - will not be sent back.

Hello Daren,

In regard to question 2 - OK

Can I check the amount of airtime in use (in percents) per radio?

Thanks
