For each SSID and each day (from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.), you can create three
schedules to disable the VAP.
9. Optionally, enable 802.11w Protected Management Frames (PMF), select a single
radio band only, enable band steering with 802.11k radio resource management
(RRM) and 802.11v WiFi network management, or do all of this, as described in the
following table.
DescriptionSetting
Protected Management Frames (PMF), according to the 802.11w standard, is a security
feature that protects unicast and multicast management frames from being intercepted
and changed for malicious purposes. This feature is disabled by default, but you can
enable it.
802.11w (PMF)
Select a radio button for a single band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) or keep the default selection,
which is the Both radio button, to enable the VAP to broadcast on both bands.
Band
By default, band steering with 802.11k RRM and 802.11v WiFi network management is
disabled for the VAP.
To enable band steering with 802.11k RRM and 802.11v WiFi network management, select
the Enable radio button. Doing so allows the access point, under certain channel
conditions, to steer WiFi devices that are dual-band capable to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band
of the VAP. Compared to the 2.4 GHz band, generally more channels and bandwidth are
available in the 5 GHz band, causing less interference and allowing for a better user
experience.
802.11k RRM and 802.11v WiFi network management affect the network in the following
ways:
•
802.11k RRM. This feature lets the access point and 802.11k-aware clients dynamically
measure the available radio resources. In an 802.11k-enabled network, access points
and clients can send neighbor reports, beacon reports, and link measurement reports
to each other, allowing 802.11k-aware clients to automatically select the best access
point for initial connection or for roaming.
•
802.11v WiFi network management. This feature lets the access point steer its WiFi
clients to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, based on the access point’s channel load.
The access point sets the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) threshold automatically.
(That is, you cannot configure the RSSI threshold manually.)
