Virtual Access Points (VAPs)

– 78 –

When the association pool for the VAP is full and the AP receives an association

request from a high-priority (11n) client, the AP sends a disassociation to a

lower priority client (11a/g or 11b) in order to be able to associate the high-

priority client. If there are no lower-priority clients to disassociate, the AP will

reject the association request. (Default: Disabled)

◆ Association Timeout Interval — The idle time interval (when no frames are

sent) after which a client is disassociated from the VAP interface. (Range: 5-60

minutes; Default: 30 minutes)

◆ Authentication Timeout Interval — The time within which the client should

finish authentication before authentication times out.

(Range: 5-60 minutes; Default: 60 minutes)

◆ Default VLAN ID — The VLAN ID assigned to wireless clients associated to the

VAP interface that are not assigned to a specific VLAN by RADIUS server

configuration. (Default: 1)

◆ DHCP Relay Server — The IP address of the DHCP relay server. Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can dynamically allocate an IP address and

other configuration information to network clients that broadcast a request. To

receive the broadcast request, the DHCP server would normally have to be on

the same subnet as the client. However, when the access point’s DHCP relay

agent is enabled, received client requests can be forwarded directly by the

access point to a known DHCP server on another subnet. Responses from the

DHCP server are returned to the access point, which then broadcasts them

back to clients. (Default: 0.0.0.0 (disabled))

◆ SSID — The service set identifier for the VAP.

◆ Multicast Enhancement — When a wireless client joins a multicast group, this

feature converts multicast packets to unicast packets to improve multicast

video quality.
