Configuring an SSID for Suite-B cryptography
Suite-B AES-128-GCM and AES-256-GCM encryption is supported by the ArubaOS hardware, and requires the
ACR license. Note, however, that not all controllers support Suite-B encryption. The table below describes the
controller support for Suite-B encryption in ArubaOS.
To determine the serial number prefix for your controller, issue the CLI command show inventory and note the
prefix before the system serial number. The serial number prefix in the example below appears in bold.
(host) #show inventory
Supervisor Card slot : 0
System Serial# : AK0093676
SC Assembly# : 2010052B (Rev:02.01)
SC Serial# : F01629529 (Date:03/29/10)
SC Model# : W-3600-US
Guest WLAN
To configure Guest WLAN, the following basic steps are required.
Configure the VLAN for guest users.
Configure the guest role which only allows HTTP and HTTPS traffic from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
Create and configure the virtual AP profile guest for the AP named “building3-lobby”:
Advertise QBSS Load IE Click this checkbox to enable the AP to advertise the QBSS load element. The element includes the
following parameters that provide information on the traffic situation:
Station count: The total number of stations associated to the QBSS.
Channel utilization: The percentage of time (normalized to 255) the channel is sensed to be
busy. The access point uses either the physical or the virtual carrier sense mechanism to
sense a busy channel.
Available admission capacity: The remaining amount of medium time (measured as number of
32us/s) available for a station via explicit admission control.
The QAP uses these parameters to decide whether to accept an admission control request. A
wireless station uses these parameters to choose the appropriate access points.
NOTE: Ensure that wmm is enabled for legacy APs to advertize the QBSS load element. For 802.11n
APs, ensure that either wmm or high throughput is enabled.
