Cisco Cisco Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Manual Técnica
Use a Telnet session to log into the bridge and issue the show version EXEC command in order to find the
version of Cisco IOS® software that runs on your bridge. This example shows command output from a bridge
that runs Cisco IOS Release 12.2(13)JA2:

Start at the Wireless Software Center and choose the model of bridge with which you work. Compare your
current version with the highest numbered version of bridge software listed. If you do not run that latest
version, upgrade to the latest version in order to start to resolve your throughput issue. Refer to Managing
Firmware and Configurations for more information on how to upgrade bridge firmware.

Use Statistical Tools
Bridge software provides tools to show you the types of problems and where the bridge encounters the
problems. Two of the most helpful tools are the Throughput Statistics and the Error Statistics windows. In the
entire wireless network, there are at least two bridges involved, and it is important to look at statistics from
both sides (wired and wireless) of all bridges when you try to isolate a problem. Statistics are only relevant
over time, and only when you have some benchmark for comparison. Comparing statistics from two
associated bridges clearly shows if the problem is on one side or both.

Throughput Statistics
You need to look at both sets of Throughput Statistics in order to begin. Complete these steps:
Navigate to the Statistics page.
This varies and depends on the bridge model.

1.
Choose Statistics from the Main menu once the connection is established to the bridge.
The Statistics menu provides a broad array of information about the performance of the bridge.
2.
Complete the procedure from Viewing Statistics in order to get to the Throughput Statistics page.
3.
Clear the statistics on both bridges at the same time so the time factor of the statistics is similar.
Note: Press C (as provided at the bottom of the Throughput Statistics page) in order to clear the

4.
Clear and review the statistics several times over the course of a day, or several days, in order to
