Client Settings for the WLAN:
Select this option to allow client to client communication within this WLAN. The default
is enabled, meaning clients are allowed to exchange packets with other clients. Disabling
this setting does not necessarily prevent clients on other WLANs from sending packets to
this WLAN, but as long as this setting is disabled on the other WLAN, clients are not
permitted to interoperate.
Use this parameter to set the maximum transmit power (from 0 - 20 dBm) available to
wireless clients for transmission. The default value is 20 dBm.
Set the maximum amount of time wireless clients are allowed to be idle within this
WLAN. Set the idle time in either Seconds (60 - 86,400), Minutes (1 - 1,440), Hours
(0 - 24) or Days (0 - 1). When this setting is exceeded, the client is no longer able to access
resources and must re-authenticate. The default value is 1,800 seconds.
Select this option to set the maximum number of sessions (from 10 - 10,000 clients) over
the Firewall. When enabled, this parameter limits the number of simultaneous sessions
allowed by the Firewall per wireless client. This feature is disabled by default.
Select this option to set the maximum number of clients (from 1- 256 clients) allowed to
connect using a single radio. When enabled, this parameter limits the number of clients
that are allowed to connect to a single radio. This feature is set to 256 by default.
Select this option to enable radio resource measurement capabilities (IEEE 802.11k) on
this WLAN. 802.11k improves how traffic is distributed. In a WLAN, each device normally
connects to an access point with the strongest signal. Depending on the number and
locations of the clients, this arrangement can lead to excessive demand on one access
point and under utilization of others, resulting in degradation of overall network
performance. With 802.11k, if the access point with the strongest signal is loaded to its
capacity, a client connects to a under utilized access point. Even if the signal is weaker,
the overall throughput is greater since it's an efficient use of the network's resources. This
setting is disabled by default.
Select this option to enable radio resource measurement channel reporting (IEEE 802.11k)
on this WLAN. This setting is enabled by default.
Select this option to distribute clients evenly amongst associated access point radios.
This feature is disabled by default. Client load balancing can be enforced for the WLAN
as more and more WLANs are deployed.
Loads are balanced by ignoring association and probe requests. Probes and association
requests are not responded to forcing a client to associate with another access point.
Select this option to enforce that the access point only allows packets from clients using
DHCP to obtain an IP address, disallowing static IP addresses. This feature is disabled by
default.
Use the drop-down menu to define the proxy ARP mode as either Strict or Dynamic. Proxy
ARP is the technique used by the AP to answer ARP requests intended for another system.
By faking its identity, the AP accepts responsibility for routing packets to the actual
destination. Dynamic is the default value.
