Feature Description
Customizing the RADIUS
Attributes
The users can now configure RADIUS modifier profile to customize the
attributes that are included, excluded and modified in the RADIUS request
before it is sent to the authentication server. The RADIUS modifier profile
can be configured and applied to either Access- Request or Accounting-
Request or both on a RADIUS authentication server.
Frame Drop Counter Frame drop counters are used by APs to track frame loss when
sending/receiving data packets. The AP records when the frames are
dropped and compiles the stats, allowing clients to monitor frame loss
within individual queques.
High Availability Alerting Starting with AOS-W 6.5.1.0, the High Availability Alerting feature is
introduced to enable the switch provide the high availability status
information to customers.
High Availability on the Backup
LMS
Starting with AOS-W 6.5.1.0, high availability is supported on the backup
LMS.
Hotspot 2.0 enhancements The Hotspot feature includes several enhancements.
n A new Hotspot 2.0 Query Protocol (H2QP) OSU provider list profile
defines the list of Online Sign-Up (OSU) providers to be sent in the
ANQP IE. If a customer device cannot find a service from a known
operator, the device receives a notification from the hotspot that
additional Online Signup services are available.
n The Hotspot 2.0 profile is enhanced to support a service provider's
network QoS by mapping the service provider's Layer-3 QoS priorities
(defined via DHCP ) to an over-the-air Layer 2 priority.
n The Hotspot 2.0 profile is enhanced to send WNM notification requests
to clients when the authentication server request it. Those WNM
notification requests allow the hotspot feature to send clients the URLs
of servers that allow the client to access information about how to
subscribe to the service, correct connection errors, or extend the
current session.
n The Hotspot 2.0 profile also allows network administrators to specify if
the hotspot uses an OSU Server-only authenticated layer 2 Encryption
Network (OSEN) network type. This network type is then dedicated to
provisioning clients using the OSU functionality.
Intelligent Power Monitoring Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) is a feature that actively measures the
power utilization of an AP and dynamically adapts to the power resources.
IPv6 Router Advertisement
Proxy
Whenever a new client joins the network, a unicast or a multicast Router
Advertisements (RA) is sent to from the router to the client. If it is a
multicast packet then existing clients also receive the RA, which results in
increasing the traffic. Starting with AOS-W 6.5.1.0, this issue is addressed
by enabling IPv6 proxy RA to snoop incoming unsolicited Router
Advertisement and Router Solicitations packets.
MAC Address Filter When an AP identifies a device, randomized MAC addresses advertised by
the device will be filtered from those associated with the network. The MAC
address associated with the network will be displayed in the RSSI report,
while the unassociated addresses are excluded.
Null Encryption for IKEv1 Starting with AOS-W 6.5.1.0, XLP-based switches are supported with null
encryption for IKEv1 as an encryption algorithm. This helps in reducing the
load on the local router for internet destined traffic.
