all Filter out broadcast and multicast traffic in the air.
NOTE: Do not enable this option for virtual APs configured
in bridge forwarding mode. This configuration parameter is
only intended for use for virtual APs in tunnel mode. In
tunnel mode, all packets travel to the controller, so the
controller is able to drop all broadcast traffic. When a
virtual AP is configured to use bridge forwarding mode,
most data traffic stays local to the AP, and the controller is
not able to filter out that broadcast traffic.
IMPORTANT: If you enable this option, you must also enable
the Broadcast-Filter ARP parameter in the stateful firewall
configuration to prevent ARP requests from being dropped.
Note also that although a virtual AP profile can be
replicated from a master controller to local controllers,
stateful firewall settings do not. If you select the broadcast-
filter all option for a Virtual AP Profile on a master
controller, you must enable the broadcast-filter arp setting
on each individual local controller.
—disabled
arp If enabled, all broadcast ARP requests are converted to
unicast and sent directly to the client. You can check the
status of this option using the show ap active and the show
datapath tunnel command. If enabled, the output will
display the letter a in the flags column.
Do not enable this option for virtual APs configured in
bridge forwarding mode. This configuration parameter is
only intended for use for virual APs in tunnel mode. In
tunnel mode, all packets travel to the controller, so the
controller is able to convert ARP requests directed to the
broadcast address into unicast. When a virtual AP is
configured to use bridge forwarding mode, most data traffic
stays local to the AP, and the controller is not able to
convert that broadcast traffic.
—disabled
clone
Name of an existing traffic management profile from which
parameter values are copied.
——
deny-time-range
Specify the name of the time range for which the AP will
deny access. Time ranges can be defined using the CLI
command
time-range.
——
dos-prevention
If enabled, APs ignore deauthentication frames from
clients. This prevents a successful deauth attack from
being carried out against the AP. This does not affect third-
party APs.
—disabled
dot11k-profile
Name of an 802.11k profile to be associated with this VAP. — default
dynamic-mcast-
optimization
Enable/Disable dynamic multicast optimization. This
parameter can only be enabled on a controller with a
PEFNG license.
disabled
dynamic-mcast-
optimization-
threshold
Maximum number of high-throughput stations in a multicast
group beyond which dynamic multicast optimization stops.
