messages), and acts on behalf of the station in delivering ARP replies. When the AP receives
a broadcast ARP/Neighbor Solicit request for a known host, the AP replies on behalf of
the host. If the AP receives a request for an unknown host, it forwards the request at the
rate limit specified.
• Max Clients: This option limits the number of clients that can associate with this WLAN
per AP (default is 100). You can also limit the total number of clients that a specific AP (or
radio, on dual radio APs) will manage.
• 802.11d: This standard provides specifications for compliance with additional regulatory
domains (countries or regions) that were not defined in the original 802.11 standard. Click
this option if you are operating in one of these additional regulatory domains.
• DHCP Option 82: Select the Enable DHCP Option 82 check box to enable this feature.
When this feature is enabled and an AP receives a DHCP request from a wireless client,
the AP will encapsulate additional information (such as VLAN ID, AP name, SSID and MAC
address) into the DHCP request packets before forwarding them to the DHCP server. The
DHCP server can then use this information to allocate an IP address to the client from a
particular DHCP pool based on these parameters.
• Client TX/RX Statistics: Select the Ignore statistics from unauthorized clients check
box if you do not want the controller to monitor traffic statistics for unauthorized clients.
• Inactivity Timeout: Select the check box and enter a value in seconds (60 to 600) after
which idle clients will be disconnected.
• Client Fingerprinting: By selecting this check box, the controller will attempt to identify
client devices by their operating system, device type and host name, if available. This
makes identifying client devices easier on the Dashboard, Monitor and Client Details
pages.
• OFDM Only: Select the check box to force clients associated with this WLAN to use only
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to transmit data. OFDM-only allows
the client to increase management frame transmission speed from CCK rates to OFDM
rates. This feature is implemented per WLAN and only affects the 2.4GHz radio.
• BSS Min Rate: Select this check box to set the bss rates of management frames from
default rates (CCK rates for 2.4G or OFDM rate – 6Mbps for 5G] to the desired rates. By
default, BSS Min Rate is disabled.
NOTE: OFDM-only takes higher priority than BSS-minrate. However, OFDM-only relies
on BSS-minrate to adjust its rate for management frames.
• Mgmt Tx Rate: To set the transmit rate for management frame, select a value (in Mbps)
from the drop-down list.
• DiffServ Profile: To apply a DiffServ profile to this WLAN service, select a profile that you
previously created. For more information, see Creating a DiffServ Profile on page 92.
• Service Schedule: Use the Service Schedule tool to control which hours of the day, or
days of the week to enable/disable WLAN service. Options include:
• Always On: Click to enable this WLAN at all times.
• Always Off: Click to disable the WLAN service at all times.
• Specific: Click to set specific hours during which this WLAN will be enabled. For
example, a WLAN for student use at a school can be configured to provide wireless
access only during school hours. Click on a day of the week to enable/disable this
WLAN for the entire day. Colored cells indicate WLAN enabled. Click and drag to select
