IDS Client Enable Client MFP on this SSID
AP Authentication Credentials are used to authenticate the access point to the network.
Credentials Use the pull-down menu to specify a credentials profile for an SSID.
Define Credentials
If you need to define credentials, click the link to go to the AP Authentication - General Setup page where you can then establish a username
and password or anonymous ID and trustpoint for the credentials.
Authentication Methods Profile When an access point connects to the network, the access point and the network authentication device negotiate to agree upon an
authentication method supported by both devices to complete authentication. An authentication methods profile is used to restrict the types of
authentication that the access point agrees to use. Use the pull-down menu to specify an authentication profile for an SSID.
Define Authentication Methods
Profile If you need to define an authentication method profile, click the link to go to the AP Authentication - General Setup page.
Accounting Settings
Enable Accounting Indicate whether you want this server to record usage data of clients associating with the access point. Some usage data can be used for billing
or usage tracking.
Accounting Server Priorities You can choose to use the defaults or customize the priority by using the pull-down menu. If you choose to enable the use of the defaults, click
the Define Defaults link to move into the Server Manager screen.
General Settings Advertise
Extended Capabilities of this SSID This check box lets you include the SSID name and capabilities in the Wireless Provisioning Service (WPS) information element.
Advertise Wireless Provisioning
Services (WPS) Support This check box lets you enable the WPS capability flag in the WPS information element.
Advertise this SSID as a Secondary
Broadcast SSID This check box allows you to include the SSID name and capabilities in the WPS information element.
Enable IP Redirection on this SSID When you configure IP redirection for an SSID, the access point redirects all packets sent from client devices associated to that SSID to a specific
IP address. You can redirect all packets from client devices associated using an SSID or redirect only packets directed to specific TCP or UDP ports.
When you configure the access point to redirect only packets addressed to specific ports, the access point redirects those packets from clients
using the SSID and drops all other packets from clients using the SSID.
IP Address Enter the IP address of the destination for redirected packets.
IP Filter After you enable IP redirection and enter the IP address, click Define Filter to move to the IP Filters page where you can specify the appropriate
TCP or UDP ports for redirection. If you do not specify TCP or UDP ports, the access point redirects all packets that it receives from client devices.
Association Limit (optional) The maximum number of clients that can associate to a particular SSID. This limit prevents access points from getting overloaded and helps to
provide an adequate level of service to associated clients.
EAP Client (optional) Cisco recommends that you use AP Authentication rather than EAP Client for authenticating the access point to the network.
Username Indicates the username used for Network EAP authentication when the repeater access point is associating with a parent access point or when a
Hot Standby access point is associating with a monitored access point.
Password Indicates the password used for Network EAP authentication when the repeater access point is associating with a parent access point or when a
Hot Standby access point is associating with a monitored access point.Note: The following characters are not allowed: TAB, ?, $, +, and [.
Multiple BSSID Beacon Settings
Multiple BSSID Beacon Select the Set SSID as Guest Mode check box if you want to include the SSID in beacons. To increase the battery life for power-save clients that
use this SSID, select the Set Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) check box and enter a beacon rate for the SSID. The beacon rate determines how often the
access point sends a beacon containing a Delivery Traffic Indicator Message (DTIM).When client devices receive a beacon that contains a DTIM,
they normally wake up to check for pending packets. Longer intervals between DTIMs let clients sleep longer and preserve power. Conversely,
shorter DTIM periods reduce the delay in receiving packets but use more battery power because clients wake up more often.
See
Configuring Multiple SSIDs on page 279 for further procedural information.
Guest Mode/Infrastructure SSID
Settings Set Beacon Mode Click to choose single or multiple access point beacon messages. From the pull-down menu, indicate the guest mode that enables clients
without any SSID to associate to this access point.
See
Configuring Multiple SSIDs on page 279 for detailed procedural information.
