Click OK to save updates to the Global WLAN Settings screen. Click Cancel to disregard
changes and revert back to the previous screen. Checkbox options within the Global WLAN
Settings screen include:
MU Proxy ARP handling Enables Proxy ARP handling for MUs. Proxy ARP is provided for MU’s in PSP mode
whose IP address is known. The WLAN generates an ARP reply on behalf of a MU, if
the MU’s IP address is known. The ARP reply contains the MAC address of the MU
(not the MAC address of WLAN Module). Thus, the MU does not awaken to send
ARP replies (helping to increase battery life and conserve bandwidth). If an MU
goes into PSP mode without transmitting at least one packet, its Proxy ARP will not
work for the MU. This option is selected by deafult.
Shared-Key
Authentication Enables Shared-Key Authentication for all enabled WLANs on the system.
Shared-key authentication is strongly discouraged. This option is enabled in setups
where there are legacy mobile units which can only support this authentication
method.
Manual mapping of
WLANs Use this option (its selected by default) for custom WLAN to Radio mappings. When
Advanced Configuration is disabled, the user cannot conduct Radio – WLAN
mapping. Additionally, the user cannot enable WLANs with an index higher than
16. Once the Advanced Configuration option is enabled, the following conditions
must be satisfied (to successfully disable it). No WLANs with an index higher than
16 should be enabled. With advanced WLAN mapping the switch evenly distributes
the enabled WLANs to BSSIDs. Additionally, the Radio – WLAN mapping should
conform to the following:
BSS ID 1 – Possible WLANs 1,5,9,13
BSS ID 2 – Possible WLANs 2,6,10,14
BSS ID 3 – Possible WLANs 3,7,11,15
BSS ID 4 – Possible WLANs 4, 8, 12,16
Enable WLAN
Bandwidth Settings Select this option to enable WLAN bandwidth settings. WLAN bandwidth settings
ensures quality of service for applications regardless of network load. This option
is selected by default.
MU Rate Limiting UP Enter an upstream rate limit in kbps for all MUs associated with the switch across
all WLANs.
MU Rate Limiting Down Enter an downstream rate limit in kbps for all MUs associated with the switch
across all WLANs.
MU Load Balance Mode Configure a method for distributing traffic across MUs using the MU Load
Balancing Mode. Select Count to set load balancing based on number of MUs.
Select By Throughput to set load balancing based on total throughput of MUs.
