1.1.8 QBSS Support
Each access point radio can be configured to optionally allow the access point to communicate
channel usage data to associated devices and define the beacon interval used for channel utilization
transmissions. The QBSS load represents the percentage of time the channel is in use by the access
point and the access point's station count. This information is very helpful in assessing the access
point's overall load on a channel, its availability for additional device associations and multi media
traffic support.
For information on enabling QBSS and defining the channel utilization transmission interval, see
Configuring the 802.11a or 802.11b/g Radio on page
1.1.9 LLDP Support
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a Layer 2 protocol (IEEE standard 802.1AB) used to determine
the capabilities of devices such as repeaters, bridges, access points, routers and wireless clients.
LLDP enables devices to advertise their capabilities and media-specific configurations. LLDP provides
a method of discovering and representing the physical network connections of a given network
management domain. The LLDP neighbor discovery protocol allows you to discover and maintain
accurate network topologies in a multi-vendor environment. LLDP transmits periodic advertisements
containing device information and media-specific configuration information to neighbors attached to
the same network.
For information on configuring the LLDP settings on devices, see
4-47.
