Cisco WAP571/E Administration Guide
With WMF, the data transfer is more reliable as the frames are sent as unicast and
robust transmission is possible as dynamic per station rate control can be done
based on the link errors and noise conditions.
The multicast group members can be a STA end point Streaming between STA
devices will also be supported. The multicast streaming server can be attached to
any of the LAN ports.
To configure Wireless Multicast Forwarding settings:
Select Wireless>Wireless Multicast Forwarding in the navigation pane.
Configure the parameter.
• Wireless Multicast Forwarding—Enables or disables wireless multicast
forwarding globally on the Cisco WAP571/E.
After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and
restarted. When this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will
least affect your wireless clients.
The Radio and VAP Scheduler allows you to configure a rule with a specific time
interval for VAPs or radios to be operational, which automates the enabling or
disabling of the VAPs and radio.
One way you can use this feature is to schedule the radio to operate only during
the office working hours in order to achieve security and reduce power
consumption. You can also use the Scheduler to allow access to VAPs for wireless
clients only during specific times of day.
The AP supports up to 16 profiles. Only valid rules are added to the profile. Up to
16 rules are grouped together to form a scheduling profile. Periodic time entries
belonging to the same profile cannot overlap.
