Step 1
|
Click the menu icon ( ) and choose .
|
Step 2
|
In the left pane, expand Wireless and choose
Advanced SSID Configuration.
Alternatively, you can search for a model configuration by entering its name in the Search field.
|
Step 3
|
In the Design Instances window, check the Default Advanced SSID Design check box to use the default advanced SSID design.
Note
|
You can’t edit or delete the Default Advanced SSID Design.
|
|
Step 4
|
In the Design Instances window, click Add.
|
Step 5
|
In the Design Name field of the Add Advanced SSID Configuration
slide-in pane, enter a name for the model configuration.
|
Step 6
|
To lock all the properties in the design, click Lock all. To lock a specific property, click the corresponding lock icon next to the property.
A property that is locked in the design can’t be changed during device provisioning.
|
Step 7
|
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’s 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 to do with 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 8
|
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
AP. As a result, when passive clients are used, the wireless controller never knows the IP address unless they use DHCP.
|
Step 9
|
Click the Assisted Roaming Prediction Optimization toggle button to configure an assisted roaming prediction list for a WLAN.
|
Step 10
|
Click the Neighbor List Dual Band toggle button to configure a neighbor list on a dual radio band.
|
Step 11
|
Click the Network Admission Control (NAC-SNMP) toggle button to enable SNMP NAC support on the WLAN.
|
Step 12
|
Click the Network Admission Control (NAC-Radius) toggle button to enable RADIUS NAC support on the WLAN.
|
Step 13
|
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 14
|
Expand DHCP Server, and in the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the DHCP server.
|
Step 15
|
Click the FlexConnect Local Authentication toggle button to enable FlexConnect local authentication.
|
Step 16
|
Click the 802.11ax Status toggle button to enable 802.11ax configuration parameters.
|
Step 17
|
Click the Aironet IE toggle button to enable support for Aironet IE on this SSID.
|
Step 18
|
Click the Load Balance Enable toggle button to enable the load balancing feature.
|
Step 19
|
In the DTIM Period 5GHz Band (In Beacon Intervals) [1-255] field, enter a value for the 5-GHz band.
The valid range is from 1 through 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 AP transmits buffered broadcast and
multicast frames 10 times every second. If the beacon period is 100 ms and the DTIM value is set to 2, the AP transmits buffered
broadcast and multicast frames five 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 20
|
In the DTIM Period 2.4GHz Band (In Beacon Intervals) [1-255] field, enter a value for the 2.4-GHz band. The valid range is from 1 through 255. The default value is 1 (to transmit broadcast
and multicast frames after every beacon).
|
Step 21
|
In the Scan Defer Time [0-60000msecs] field, set the time in milliseconds.
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 deferred priorities.
|
Step 22
|
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 23
|
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 24
|
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 25
|
From the WMM Policy drop-down list, choose an option for the WMM policy: Allowed, Disabled, or Required.
By default, the WMM policy is Allowed.
|
Step 26
|
In the NAS ID field, enter the network access server identifier.
|
Step 27
|
Click Client Data Rates to configure the following client data rate limits per client by entering values in the respective fields:
-
Average Downstream Data Rate Per Client (kbps)
-
Burst Downstream Data Rate Per Client (kbps)
-
Average Downstream Real-Time Rate Per Client (kbps)
-
Burst Downstream Real-Time Rate Per Client (kbps)
-
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 28
|
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)
-
Burst Upstream Real-Time Rate Per SSID (kbps)
-

-
Burst Downstream Data Rate Per SSID (kbps)
-
Average Downstream Real-Time Rate Per SSID (kbps)
-
Burst Downstream Real-Time Rate Per SSID (kbps)

Step 29
|
Hover your cursor over More and click 802.11ax Configuration to configure the 802.11ax BSS configuration parameters. To enable or disable the following parameters, you can use the corresponding
toggle buttons:
-

-
Downlink OFDMA
-
Uplink OFDMA
-
Downlink MU-MIMO
-

Note
|
These parameters apply only to 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands. You can configure 802.11ax parameters for the 6-GHz radio band
under the window. For more information, see Create a Wireless Radio Frequency Profile.
