All Clients

The Clients page provides a summary view of all the clients connected to the network. You can filter clients based on the network the clients are connected to. The page displays key client information and also allows you to view a specific client detail page.

By default, the Clients page displays a unified list of clients for the selected group. The list of clients is populated for a time range of 3 hours. To view the list of clients for a different time range, click the Time Range Filter link and select the required time period. Total data usage for the selected time period is displayed above the client summary bar.

To filter clients based on the device to which the clients are connected, select the device type from the Clients drop-down list:

All—Displays a unified list of clients connected to the network.
AP—Displays a list of clients connected to the Instant AP.
Switch—Displays a list of clients connected to the switch.
Controller—Displays a list of clients connected to the Aruba Controller.

The wired client will show up in the Clients page only if the client is connected to an Aruba 2540 Series, Aruba 2920 Series, Aruba 2930F Series, Aruba 2930M Series, Aruba 3810 Series, or Aruba 5400R Series switch.

To filter clients based on the network to which the clients are connected, click the network type from the Client Summary bar:

Wireless—Displays a list of clients connected to the wireless network. The wireless clients are denoted by the icon.
Wired—Displays a list of clients connected to the wired network. The wired clients are denoted by the icon.
Remote—Displays a list of clients connected through VPNVirtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two.. The remote clients are denoted by the icon.

The Clients table lists the details of each client. By default, All clients is selected and the table displays the following columns: Client Name, Status, IP Address, Connected To, VLAN, SSID/Port, AP Role, Controller Role, and Health. Click the ellipsis icon to perform additional operations:

Download CSV—Downloads the client details in the .csv file format.
Select All—Selects all columns.
Reset Columns—Resets the table view to the default columns.

If a filter icon appears next to the column header, click it and enter the filter criteria or select a filter criteria from the Client Summary bar. For example, to search a client, click the predefined filter criteria: Connecting, Connected, Offline, Failed, or Blocked from the Client Summary bar and in the Client Name column enter the name of the client.
