Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.1 | User Guide Virtual APs | 155
Enable 802.11k Support
The 802.11k protocol provides mechanisms for APs and clients to dynamically measure the available radio
resources. In an 802.11k enabled network, APs and clients can send neighbor reports, beacon reports, and link
measurement reports to each other. This allows the APs and clients to take appropriate connection actions. The
following procedure outlines the steps to configure 802.11k parameters.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration window. Select either the AP Group or AP
Specific tab.
If you selected the AP Group tab, click the Edit button by the AP group name for which you want to
configure the new 802.11K profile.
If you selected the AP Specific tab, click the Edit button by the AP for which you want to create the
802.11K profile.
2. In the Profiles list, expand the Wireless LAN menu, then expand the Virtual AP menu.
3. Select the Virtual AP profile for which you want to configure 802.11k settings.
To edit an existing 802.11k profile, click the 802.11K Profile drop-down list In the Profile Details window
pane and select the 802.1x profile you want to edit.
or
To create a new 802.11k Profile, click the 802.11K Profile drop-down list and select New. Enter a new 802.11k
profile name in the field to the right of the drop-down list.
4. Configure your 802.11k radio settings. Table 33 outlines the parameters you can configure in the 802.11k
profile. Click Apply to save your settings.
NOTE: You cannot use spaces in profile names.
Table 33 802.11k Profile Parameters
Parameter Description
Advertise 802.11K Capability Select this option to allow Virtual APs using this profile to advertise 802.11K
capability.
Default: Disabled
Forcefully disassociate on-hook voice
clients
Select this option to allow the AP to forcefully disassociate on-hook voice clients
(clients that are not on a call) after period of inactivity. Without the forced
disassociation feature, if an AP has reached its call admission control limits and an
on-hook voice client wants to start a new call, that client may be denied. If forced
disassociation is enabled, those clients can associate to a neighboring AP that can
fulfill their QoS requirements.
Default: Disabled
