Wi-Fi Multimedia Protection
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM®) is a Wi-Fi Alliance® certification program that is based on the IEEE 802.11e
amendment. WMM ensures QoS for latency-sensitive traffic in the air. WMM divides the traffic into four
queues or access categories:
l voice
l video
l best effort
l background
Management Frame Protection
ArubaOS supports the IEEE 802.11w standard, also known as Management Frame Protection (MFP). MFP
makes it difficult for an attacker to deny service by spoofing Deauth and Disassoc management frames.
MFPuses 802.11i (Robust Security Network) framework that establishes encryption keys between the client
and AP.
MFP is configured on a virtual AP (VAP) as part of the wlan ssid-profile. There are two parameters that can be
configured, mfp-capable and mfp-required. Both are disabled by default.
MFP can only be enabled on SSIDs that support WPA2. MFP is not supported on virtual APs using tunnel forwarding
mode.
Configuring the SSIDProfile
Follow the procedures below to create a new SSID profile and associate that profile to your Virtual AP.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to Advanced Services > All Profile Management.
2. In the Profiles list, expand the Wireless LAN menu, then select SSID.
3. Select an existing profile from the Profile Details pane, or enter create a new profile by entering a new name
into the entry blank, then clicking Add.
4. Configure the SSIDprofile parameters described in Table 51, then click Apply.
The SSID profile configuration settings are divided into two tabs, Basic and Advanced. The Basic tab displays
only those configuration settings that often need to be adjusted to suit a specific network. The Advanced tab
shows all configuration settings, including settings that do not need frequent adjustment or should be kept at
their default values. If you change a setting on one tab then click and display the other tab without saving your
configuration, that setting will revert to its previous value.
