Step 1
|
Click the menu icon () and choose .
|
Step 2
|
In the left pane, you can either search for a model config by entering its name in the Search field, or expand Wireless and choose Advanced SSID Configuration.
|
Step 3
|
In the Design Instances pane, check the Default Advanced SSID Design check box to use the default advanced SSID design.
Note
|
You cannot edit or delete the Default Advanced SSID Design.
|
|
Step 4
|
In the Design Instances pane, click Add Design.
The Add Advanced SSID Configuration window appears.
|
Step 5
|
In the Design Name field, enter a name for the model config.
|
Step 6
|
In the General tab, click the Peer-to-Peer Blocking drop-down list and choose an option for peer-to-peer blocking.
Peer-to-peer blocking is applied to individual WLANs. Each client inherits the peer-to-peer blocking setting of the WLAN to
which it is associated. Peer-to-peer blocking enables you to have more control over how traffic is directed.
-
DISABLE: Disables peer-to-peer blocking and forwards traffic locally within the wireless controller whenever possible.
-
DROP: Causes the wireless controller to discard the client packets.
-
FORWARD UP: Causes the client packets to be forwarded on an upstream VLAN. The device above the wireless controller decides what action to take regarding the packets. The device can either be a router or a Layer 3 switch.
-
ALLOW PVT GROUP: Applicable to preshared key (PSK) clients only. Traffic is forwarded based on the associated identity PSK (IPSK) tags for
the source and destination client devices.
|
Step 7
|
Click the Passive Client Enable toggle button to enable the Passive Client feature.
Passive clients are wireless devices, such as scales and printers, that are configured with a static IP address. These clients
do not transmit any IP information (such as IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information) when they associate with an
access point. As a result, when passive clients are used, the wireless controller never knows the IP address unless they use DHCP.
|
Step 8
|
Click the Assisted Roaming Prediction Optimization toggle button to configure an assisted roaming prediction list for a WLAN.
|
Step 9
|
Click the Neighbor List Dual Band toggle button to configure a neighbor list on a dual radio band.
|
Step 10
|
Click the Network Admission Control (NAC-SNMP) toggle button to enable SNMP NAC support on the WLAN.
|
Step 11
|
Click the Network Admission Control (NAC-Radius) toggle button to enable RADIUS NAC support on the WLAN.
|
Step 12
|
From the DHCP Required drop-down list, choose Yes or No to pass the DHCP request before going into the RUN state (a state where the client can pass traffic through the wireless controller).
|
Step 13
|
Expand DHCP Server and enter the IP address of the DHCP server in the IP Address field.
|
Step 14
|
Click the FlexConnect Local Authentication toggle button to enable FlexConnect local authentication.
|
Step 15
|
Click the 802.11ax Status toggle button to enable 802.11ax configuration parameters.
|
Step 16
|
Click the Aironet IE toggle button to enable support for Aironet IE on this SSID.
|
Step 17
|
Click the Load Balance Enable toggle button to enable the load balancing feature.
|
Step 18
|
In the DTIM Period 5GHz Band (In Beacon Intervals) [1-255] field, enter a value for the 5GHz radio.
The valid range is from 1 to 255. The default value is 1 (to transmit broadcast and multicast frames after every beacon).
If the beacon period of the 802.11 network is 100 ms and the DTIM value is set to 1, the access point transmits buffered broadcast
and multicast frames for 10 times every second. If the beacon period is 100 ms and the DTIM value is set to 2, the access
point transmits buffered broadcast and multicast frames for 5 times every second. Either of these settings are suitable for
applications, including Voice Over IP (VoIP), that expect frequent broadcast and multicast frames.
However, the DTIM value can be set as high as 255 (to transmit broadcast and multicast frames after every 255th beacon).
|
Step 19
|
In the DTIM Period 2.4GHz Band (In Beacon Intervals) [1-255] field, enter a value for the 2.4GHz radio. The valid range is from 1 to 255. The default value is 1 (transmit broadcast and
multicast frames after every beacon).
|
Step 20
|
Set the time in milliseconds in the Scan Defer Time [0-60000msecs] field.
The valid values are between 0 and 60000 milliseconds; the default value is 100 milliseconds. If you sent the time to 0, the
scan deferral does not happen. The scan defer time is common for all priorities on the same WLAN and the scan is deferred
if a packet is transmitted or received in any one of the defer priorities.
|
Step 21
|
In the Max Clients Per WLAN field, enter the maximum number of clients that are allowed to join the WLAN.
The valid range is between 0 and 10000.
|
Step 22
|
In the Max Clients Per AP Radio Per WLAN [0-200] field, enter the maximum number of clients that are allowed to join the WLAN per AP.
The valid range is between 0 and 200.
|
Step 23
|
In the Max Clients Per AP Radio Per WLAN [0-400] field, enter the maximum number of client connections that are allowed per AP.
The valid range is between 0 and 400.
|
Step 24
|
From the WMM Policy drop-down list, choose the WMM policy as Allowed, Disabled, or Required.
By default, the WMM policy is Allowed.
|
Step 25
|
In the NAS ID field, enter the network access server identifier.
|
Step 26
|

-
Average Upstream Data Rate Per Client (kbps)
-
Burst Upstream Data Rate Per Client (kbps)
-
Average Upstream Real-Time Rate Per Client (kbps)
-
Burst Upstream Real-Time Rate Per Client (kbps)
|
Step 27
|
Click the SSID Data Rates to configure the following SSID data rate limits per SSID by entering values in the respective fields:
-
Average Upstream Data Rate Per SSID (kbps)
-
Burst Upstream Data Rate Per SSID (kbps)
-
Average Upstream Real-Time Rate Per SSID (kbps)
-
