### Parameter Descriptions

Current # WLAP Itf | The current Wireless access point interfaces in use in a 1 to 4 range
Current State | On initialization, the access point can be in any of the following states of wireless operation: starting the initializing process: Initializing Sending Probe Send Assoc Req (association request) Send Cfg BPDU (configuration Bridge Protocol Data Unit) Wait for Probe Send Probe Rsp (probe response) Send Assoc Rsp (association response) Send Cfg Rsp (configuration response) Received Root Rsp (Root response) operating in wireless mode: Root WLAP lost Disabled Functional For an explanation of a root access point click here.
Priority | WLAP priority value assigned to the access point under configuring radio parameters.
Root Interface | The interface leading to the root access point
Root Priority | Priority value of the root access point
Root MAC Address | MAC address of the root access point
Root Path Cost | The hops between the current WLAP and the root access point
Itf ID | Identifies the wireless interface the access point uses to communicate with another device.
WLAP Itf MAC Addr | States the MAC address of the associated WLAP.
Itf State | Identifies the state of the interface: DIS - The interface is disabled. LIS - The access point listens for information. LRN - The access point learns the information. FWD - The access point forwards data. BLK - The access point blocks transmission.
Path Cost | An abstract unit added to the Root Path Cost field in the Config BPDU received on this interface. The unit represents a hop on the path to the root access point.
Designated Root ID | An ID designated by the root access point. Access points in WLAP mode negotiate the position of Root access Point at power up. The access point with the lowest Root ID, path and WLAP ID becomes the root access point. The Root ID and the WLAP ID are 16-digit numbers. The first 4 digits represent the Priority value and the remaining 12 digits represent the MAC address of the access point.
Designated Cost | A path cost designated by the root access point
Designated WLAP ID | A WLAP ID assigned by the root access point
Designated Itf ID | An ID assigned by the root access point.
