• Mgmt Tx Rate: To set the maximum transmit rate for management frame,
select a value (in Mbps) from the drop-down list.
• Service Schedule: Use the Service Schedule tool to control which hours of
the day, or days of the week to enable/disable WLAN service. Options
include:
-
Always On: Click to enable this WLAN at all times.
-
Always Off: Click to disable this WLAN service at all times.
-
Specific: Click to set specific hours during which this WLAN will be
enabled. For example, a WLAN for student use at a school can be
configured to provide wireless access only during school hours. Click on
a day of the week to enable/disable this WLAN for the entire day. Colored
cells indicate WLAN enabled. Click and drag to select specific times of
day. You can also disable a WLAN temporarily for testing purposes, for
example.
NOTE:
The service schedule feature will not work properly if the controller does not
have the correct time. To ensure that the controller always maintains the correct
time, point the controller to an NTP server's IP address, as described in the section
Configuring the System Time, of the Administrator Guide.
• Band Balancing: Client band balancing between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio
bands is disabled by default on all WLANs. To disable band balancing for this
WLAN only (when enabled globally), select the Do not perform band
balancing for this WLAN service check box.
• Qos Map Set: Reprioritize downlink packets based on the configured
mappings. When an AP receives a downlink packet, it checks the existing
DSCP (L3 QoS) marking, compares it to this map set and then changes the
user priority (L2 QoS) values for transmission by the AP.
To configure this feature, select the User Priority (UP) from the table (0-7) and
configure the DSCP (0-64) range that will be mapped to this UP.
Exceptions can also be added such that the original DSCP and UP tagging
are preserved the honored by the AP.
• SSID Rate Limiting: Enforce an aggregate rate limit for all users of the WLAN.
The purpose of this feature is to prevent the combined throughput form all
users of an SSID from exceeding this threshold. This feature is different from
per-user rate limiting, which enforces the same rate limit for each individual
device.
