Using the Client Session Report

The Client Session Report itemizes user-level activity by session, meaning any instance in which a user connects to the network. In list and chart format, this report displays session information, such as: cipher; connection mode; role; SSID or VLAN ID, top clients by total MB used; device type; asset category and group; EAP supplicant; manufacturer; model; network chipset, driver, and interface vendor; and OS.

The period of time in which the client remains connected to the network is typically calculated as a single session. However, if a client roams between APs, the periods of time the client connected to the different APs may be calculated as separate sessions.

Each report can be filtered based SSID, Device Type, Manufacturer, Model, and more.

You can specify the details that you want to include in the Sessions information, such as the MAC Address, user name, role, and SSID.

Figure 1 Client Session Detail

Each Client Session Report includes a Client Session Summary section. Table 38 describes the fields that display in this summary.
