• 802.11d: Add additional regulatory information to AP beacons and probe
responses. This compliance information provides country-specific guidance
like permitted channels and transmit power, to ensure that the devices
operate within the legal boundaries of the country. 11d is helpful for many
devices that cannot independently determine their operating country.
• 802.11k Neighbor Report: Enhances roaming by providing a list of neighbor
APs to the client device. APs build a neighbor AP list via background
scanning, and when the client plans to roam, it will request this list from the
AP. This list is then used to perform efficient scanning to find a roaming
candidate.
• Force DHCP: Enable this option if you want to require clients to obtain a valid
IP address from DHCP within the specified number of seconds. This prevents
clients configured with a static IP address from connecting to the WLAN.
Additionally, if a client performs Layer 3 roaming between different subnets,
in some cases the client sticks to the former IP address. This mechanism
optimizes the roaming experience by forcing clients to request a new IP
address.
• DHCP Option 82: Enable this option if you want APs to encapsulate additional
information (such as VLAN ID, AP name, SSID and MAC address) into the
DHCP request packets before forwarding them to the DHCP server. The
DHCP server can then use this information to allocate an IP address to the
client from a particular DHCP pool based on these parameters.
• Client Tx/Rx Statistics: Stop the controller from monitoring traffic statistics for
unauthorized clients.
• Inactivity Timeout: Specify the duration after which idle clients will be discon-
nected.
• OFDM Only: Select the check box to force clients associated with this WLAN
to use only Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to transmit
data. OFDM-only allows the client to increase management frame transmis-
sion speed from CCK rates to OFDM rates. This feature is implemented per
WLAN and only affects the 2.4GHz radio.
• BSS Min Rate: Select this check box to set the BSS rates of management
frames from default rates (CCK rates for 2.4G or OFDM rate – 6Mbps for 5G]
to the desired rates. By default, BSS Min Rate is disabled.
NOTE: OFDM-only takes higher priority than BSS-minrate. However, OFDM-only
relies on BSS-minrate to adjust its rate for management frames.
