Command History
Introduced in ArubaOS 3.0.
Maximum Transmit
Failures
Display the maximum number of transmission failures allowed before the client gives up.
BC/MC Rate
Optimization
Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled scanning of all active stations currently associated to
that AP to select the lowest transmission rate for broadcast and multicast frames. This option
only applies to broadcast and multicast data frames; 802.11 management frames are
transmitted at the lowest configured rate.
High throughput
enable (SSID)
Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled the use of its high-throughput SSID in 40 MHz mode.
40 MHz channel usage Determines if this high-throughput SSID allows high-throughput (802.11n) stations to
associate.
MPDU Aggregation Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled MAC protocol data unit (MDPU) aggregation.
Max transmitted A-
MPDU size
Shows the maximum size, in bytes, of an A-MPDU that can be sent on the AP’s high-
throughput SSID.
Max received A-MPDU
size
Shows the maximum size, in bytes, of an Aggregated-MAC Packet Data Unit (A-MPDU) that
can be received on the AP’s high-throughput SSID.
Min MPDU start
spacing
Displays the minimum time between the start of adjacent MDPUs within an aggregate MDPU,
in microseconds.
Supported MCS set Comma-separated list of Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) values or ranges of values to be
supported on this high-throughput SSID.
Short guard interval
in 40 MHz mode
Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled use of short guard interval in 40 MHz mode of
operation.
VLAN VLAN ID used by the SSID.
Forward mode Shows the current forward mode (bridge, split-tunnel, or tunnel) for the virtual AP.
This parameter controls whether 802.11 frames are tunneled to the controller using generic
routing encapsulation (GRE), bridged into the local Ethernet LAN (for remote APs), or a
combination thereof depending on the destination (corporate traffic goes to the controller, and
Internet access remains local).
Only 802.1x authentication is supported when configuring bridge or split tunnel mode.
Band Steering Shows if band-steering has been enabled or disabled for a virtual AP.
ARM’s band steering feature encourages dual-band capable clients to stay on the 5GHz band
on dual-band APs. This frees up resources on the 2.4GHz band for single band clients like VoIP
phones.
Band steering reduces co-channel interference and increases available bandwidth for dual-
band clients, because there are more channels on the 5GHz band than on the 2.4GHz band.
Dual-band 802.11n-capable clients may see even greater bandwidth improvements, because
the band steering feature will automatically select between 40MHz or 20MHz channels in
802.11n networks. This feature is disabled by default, and must be enabled in a Virtual AP
profile.
