Security Profiles for an ESS

ESS profiles and Security profiles can be configured either from E(z)RF Network

Manager or from the controller. You can tell where a profile was configured by

checking the read-only field Owner; the Owner is either nms-server or controller.

Each ESS must be associated with a security profile. If you do not create additional

security profiles, an ESS is automatically associated with the default security profile

named default. To use additional security profiles, create them using the secu-

rity-profile command in global configuration mode (see either this chapter, Add an

ESS with the Web UI or Chapter 8, “Configuring Security,” for details). Create the

security profile before creating the ESS. You cannot alter profiles created in E(z)RF

Network Manager from a controller.

The following CLI example associates a security profile named corp-access:

controller(config-essid)# security-profile corp-access

controller(config-essid)#

Configuring CAC for an ESSID AP with the CLI

If implemented, Call Admission Control (CAC) limits the number of VoIP calls for all

BSSIDs with the command qosvars calls-per-bssid (see “Configuring QoS Rules With

the CLI” on page 237). If you have special requirements for an ESSID’s AP300, you can

set the CAC maximum calls limit specifically for the ESS using the calls-per-bss

command from the essid/ess-ap configuration sublevel. For example, to set a

maximum of 10 calls for AP 1, interface 1 in the ESSID, use the following command:

controller(config-essid)# ess-ap 1 1

controller(config-essid-essap)# calls-per-bss 10

controller(config-essid-essap)# exit

Configuring Beacon Parameters with the CLI

You can set the following beacon parameters:

 Beacon DTIM period—DTIM affects clients in power save mode. In the DTIM Period

field, type the number of beacon intervals that elapse before broadcast frames

stored in buffers are sent. This value is transmitted in the DTIM period field of

beacon frames.
