Hi,
How to make sure WARP nodes sending packets via wireless medium not via the ethernet?
Thanks!

You'll have to provide much more information about your setup - how many nodes, running what hardware/software designs, Ethernet connections, etc.

We are running blink node experiment now to test our boards. We have 2 nodes, one AP and one STA, and a PC which are connected to a common gigabit switch. When we run the python code on the PC, the LEDs on both AP and STA start blinking but I am not sure that station get the command from AP via wireless medium or the ethernet. So how could I make sure that AP and STA are exchanging packets via wireless medium?

Commands from wlan_exp (Python) are never sent over-the-air. By default wlan_exp connects to the WARP v3 node on the node's ETH B interface.
The AP and STA designs bridge the ETH A interfaces to the wireless medium. A common configuration is to connect the AP ETH A interface to an Ethernet network that is connected to the internet (has a DHCP server and router), then connect the STA ETH A interface directly to a PC. The PC will send packets via its wired interface; these will be encapsulated by the STA design, transmitted wirelessly, received by the AP, and bridged to the AP ETH A interface.
