Alcatel-Lucent AOS-W 6.5.3.x - Page 25

Feature Description
PAPI Enhanced Security The PAPI Enhanced Security configuration provides protection to Alcatel-
Lucent devices, OmniVista, Mobility Access Switches, HP Switches, and
ALEagainst malicious users sending fake messages that results in security
challenges.
QoSEnhancements AOS-W 6.5.1.0 introduces the following enhanced traffic QoSfeatures:
n QoS for AP Management Traffic: Management traffic on the AP can now
be marked with Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) values in the
AP system profile, to apply a priority level to AP management traffic.
n DSCP to 802.1P mapping: The AP system profile is also enhanced to
map DSCP QoS priorities to 802.1p priorities at the AP's media access
control (MAC) level.
n QoS for EAP Auth traffic: Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) traffic
can be assigned to a specific Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) traffic class via
the AP's SSID profileby enabling the WMM Access Class of
EAPtraffic parameter in the WLAN SSID profile. By default, EAPtraffic
is mapped to the default "best effort" traffic class.
Server Load Balancing for
RADIUS Accounting
The switches perform load balancing of RADIUS accounting packets that
are destined to external RADIUS Servers to ensure accounting load gets
distributed.
Spectrum Analysis Support AOS-W 6.5.1.0 supports Spectrum Analysis on OAW-AP300 Series access
points.
Support for new VSAs New RADIUS VSAs are introduced to support the traffic steering and
Hotspot 2.0 features.
Traffic Steering The ARM traffic steering feature encourages clients that support both Wi-Fi
and 3G/4G cellular connections to move from a Wi-Fi connection to a
cellular connection when the device moves out of a Wi-Fi coverage area, or
when the Wi-Fi connection supports lower data rates than the cellular
connection. ARM traffic steering prevents clients that have been
disassociated from the network from reassociating for a customizable
blackout interval. ARM traffic steering is disabled by default.
iOS mobile devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or iPod automatically blacklist
an SSID if that device receives more than two deauthentication message
within a five-minute period. To protect iOS devices from blacklisting an
SSID due to repeated traffic steering attempts, AOS-W limits the number of
traffic steering attempts for these devices to no more than one steering
attempt every five minutes.
WAN Optimization through IP
Payload Compression
AOS-W 6.5.1.0 supports WAN optimization through IP payload compression
in OAW-4450 switches.
WebCC License Changes If one or more subscription WebCClicenses expire so that a switch has
fewer active WebCC subscription licenses than AP licenses, that switch will
no longer be able to download WebCC updates from the cloud or perform
classification using cloud lookup.
