Measures reported by FgWcWlanProfStTest

For users on the WiFi LAN to communicate with other networks, firewall policies are required. When you add a policy to your firewall device configuration file, you add a set of rules that tell the firewall device to allow or deny traffic based upon factors such as source and destination of the packet or the TCP/IP port or protocol used for the packet. You begin configuring your wireless network by defining one or more SSIDs to which your users will connect. When you create an SSID, a virtual network interface is also created with the Name you specified in the SSID configuration. In large secured environments where FortiGate firewall is installed, administrators may often want to know whether the firewall is effective or not. For this, it is important to check the status of the WLAN profile or the SSID profile that is created. It is also a wise option to monitor the number of users connecting through the SSID profile. The FgWcWlanProfStTest test helps administrators in this regard!

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each WLAN profile created on the target firewall monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current status of this WLAN (SSID) profile.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Disabled 0
Enabled 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current status of each WLAN (SSID) profile. The graph of this measure however, is represented using the numeric equivalents only i.e., 0 or 1.
Total_clients Indicates the total number of clients currently connected using this WLAN (SSID) profile. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the IP address, Host name, User, Radio ID and VLAN ID.
