Parameter Description
wpa2-tkip WPA2 with TKIP encryption and dynamic keys using 802.1x.
wpa2-aes-gcm-128 WPA2 with AES GCM-128 (Suite-b) encryption and dynamic keys
using 802.1X.
NOTE: This parameter requires the ACR license. For further information on Suite-B
encryption, see SSIDProfiles on page 414.
wpa2-aes-gcm-256 WPA2 with AES GCM-256 (Suite-b) encryption and dynamic keys
using 802.1X.
NOTE: This parameter requires the ACR license. For further information on Suite-B
encryption, see SSIDProfiles on page 414.
Enable Management
Frame Protection
When selected, the SSID supports MFP-capable and traditional clients.
NOTE: MFP can only be enabled on SSIDs that support WPA2.
Require Management
Frame Protection
When selected, the SSIDsupports MFP-capable clients only.
NOTE: MFP can only be enabled on SSIDs that support WPA2.
DTIM Interval Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, between the sending of Delivery Traffic
Indication Messages (DTIMs) in the beacon. This is the maximum number of
beacon cycles before unacknowledged network broadcasts are flushed. When
using wireless clients that employ power management features to sleep, the client
must revive at least once during the DTIM period to receive broadcasts
802.11g Transmit
Rates
Select the set of 802.11b/g rates at which the AP is allowed to send data. The
actual transmit rate depends on what the client is able to handle, based on
information sent at the time of association and on the current error/loss rate of the
client.
802.11g Basic Rates Select the set of supported 802.11b/g rates that are advertised in beacon frames
and probe responses.
802.11a Transmit
Rates
Select the set of 802.11a rates at which the AP is allowed to send data. The actual
transmit rate depends on what the client is able to handle, based on information
sent at the time of association and on the current error/loss rate of the client.
802.11a Basic Rates Select the set of supported 802.11a rates, in Mbps, that are advertised in beacon
frames and probe responses.
Station Ageout Time Time, in seconds, that a client is allowed to remain idle before being aged out.
Max Transmit
Attempts
Maximum number of retries allowed for the AP to send a frame.
RTS Threshold Wireless clients transmitting frames larger than this threshold must issue Request
to Send (RTS) and wait for the AP to respond with Clear to Send (CTS). This helps
prevent mid-air collisions for wireless clients that are not within wireless peer
range and cannot detect when other wireless clients are transmitting.
The default value is 2333 bytes.
Short Preamble Click this checkbox to enable or disable a short preamble for 802.11b/g radios.
Network performance may be higher when short preamble is enabled. In mixed
radio environments, some 802.11b wireless client stations may experience
difficulty associating with the AP using short preamble. To use only long preamble,
disable short preamble. Legacy client devices that use only long preamble
generally can be updated to support short preamble.
