WPA Passphrase Displays the WPA passphrase with which the AP generates a pre-shared key (PSK).
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.
Legacy stations Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled the legacy stations option, which controls
whether or not legacy (non-HT) stations are allowed to associate with the AP’s SSID. By
default, legacy stations are allowed to associate.
NOTE: This setting has no effect on a BSS in which HT support is not available.
Allow weak encryption Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled the weak encryption option.
The use of TKIP or WEP for unicast traffic forces the use of legacy transmissions rates.
Disabling this mode prevents the association of stations using TKIP or WEP for unicast
traffic. This mode is disabled by default.
Virtual AP enable Wireless LAN profiles configure WLANs in the form of virtual AP profiles. This parameter
shows if the AP has enabled or disabled virtual APs.
Allowed band Shows the band(s) on which to use the virtual AP:
z a—802.11a band only (5 GHz)
z g—802.11b/g band only (2.4 GHz)
z all—both 802.11a and 802.11b/g bands (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz)
VLAN Shows the VLAN(s) into which users are placed in order to obtain an IP address.
Forward mode Shows the current forward mode (tunnel, bridge, split-tunnel, or decrypt-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).
When an AP is configured to use the decrypt-tunnel forwarding mode, that AP decrypts
and decapsulates all 802.11 frames from a client and sends the 802.3 frames through the
GRE tunnel to the controller, which then applies firewall policies to the user traffic. When
the controller sends traffic to a client, the controller sends 802.3 traffic through the GRE
tunnel to the AP, which then converts it to encrypted 802.11 and forwards to the client.
Only 802.1x authentication is supported when configuring bridge or split tunnel mode.
Deny time range Shows the time range for which the AP will deny access for a virtual AP.
