n Stateful Kerberos Authentication: use stateful Kerberos authentication to configure a switch to monitor
the Kerberos authentication messages between a client and a Windows authentication server. If the client
successfully authenticates via an Kerberos authentication server, the switch can recognize that the client has
been authenticated and assign that client a specified user role. For more information on stateful Kerberos
authentication, see Configuring Stateful Kerberos Authentication on page 294.
n Stateful 802.1X Authentication Profile: enables or disables 802.1X authentication for clients on non-
Alcatel-Lucent APs, and defines the default role for those users once they are authenticated. This profile
also references a server group to be used for authentication. For details on configuring stateful
authentication, see Stateful and WISPr Authentication on page 291.
Mesh Profiles
You can provision Alcatel-Lucent APs to operate as mesh points, mesh portals or remote mesh portals. The
secure enterprise mesh environment routes network traffic between APs over wireless hops to join multiple
Ethernet LANs or to extend wireless coverage. The Mesh profiles are:
n Mesh high-throughput SSID profile: enables or disables high-throughput (802.11n) features and 40
Mhz channel usage, and define values for aggregated MAC protocol data units (MDPUs) and Modulation
and Coding Scheme (MCS) ranges. If none of the APs in your Mesh deployment are 802.11n-capable, you
do not need to configure a mesh high-throughput SSID profile. For additional information on configuring
this profile, see Creating and Editing Mesh High-Throughput SSID Profiles on page 618.
n Mesh radio profile: determines many of the settings used by mesh nodes to establish mesh links and the
path to the mesh portal, including the maximum number of children a mesh node can accept, and transmit
rates for the 802.11a and 802.11g radios. For additional information on configuring this profile, see
Creating and Editing Mesh Radio Profiles on page 613.
n Mesh cluster profile: contains the mesh cluster name (MSSID), authentication methods, security
credentials, and cluster priority. For additional information on configuring this profile, see Configuring Mesh
Cluster Profiles on page 609.
QoS Profiles
The QoS profiles configure traffic management and VoIP functions.
n WMM Traffic management profile:the profile for Wi-Fi Multi-Media (WMM) traffic management
prioritizes voice and video traffic above other data traffic . For additional information on configuring this
profile, see Voice and Video on page 927.
n Traffic management profile: specifies the minimum percentage of available bandwidth to be allocated to
a specific Virtual AP when there is congestion on the wireless network, and sets the interval between
bandwidth usage reports. For additional information on configuring this profile, see Table 108.
n VoIP call admission control profile: Alcatel-Lucent’s Voice Call Admission Control limits the number of
active voice calls per AP by load-balancing or ignoring excess call requests. This profile enables active load
balancing and call admission controls, and sets limits for the numbers of simultaneous Session Initiated
Protocol (SIP), SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP), Cisco Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), Vocera or New
Office Environment (NOE) calls that can be handled by a single radio. For additional information on
configuring this profile, see Scanning for VoIP-Aware ARM on page 972.
IDS Profiles
The IDS profiles manage settings for wireless intrusion protection (WIP) and The WLAN management system
(WMS) on the switch that monitors wireless traffic to detect any new AP or wireless client station that tries to
connect to the network. For details on IDS profile configuration settings, see Wireless Intrusion Prevention on
