g-beacon-rate Sets the beacon rate for 802.11g (use for Distributed Antenna System
(DAS) only). Using this parameter in normal operation may cause
connectivity problems.

g-tx-rates 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.

hide-ssid Enables or disables hiding of the SSID name in beacon frames. Note that
hiding the SSID does very little to increase security.
disabled
ht-ssid-profile Name of high-throughput SSID profile to use for configuring high-
throughput support. See “wlan ht-ssid-profile” on page 1288.
“default”
local-probe-re
sponse
Enable or disable local probe response on the AP. If this option is enabled,
the AP is responsible for sending 802.11 probe responses to wireless
clients’ probe requests. If this option is disabled, then the controller sends
the 802.11 probe responses.
enabled
max-clients Maximum number of wireless clients for the AP. 0-256 64
max-retries Maximum number of retries allowed for the AP to send a frame. 0-15 4
max-tx-fail Maximum transmission failures allowed before the client gives up. 0
mcast-rate-opt Enables or disables scanning of all active stations currently associated to
an 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.
NOTE: Do not enable this parameter unless instructed to do so by your
Aruba representative.
disabled
no Negates any configured parameter.
opmode The layer-2 authentication and encryption to be used on this ESSID to
protect access and ensure the privacy of the data transmitted to and from
the network.
