Independent Mode Determines whether the WLAN is functioning as an independent or extended WLAN in regards its support of adaptive
(AAP Only) AP (AAP) operation. Select the checkbox to designate the WLAN as independent and prevent traffic from being
forwarded to the switch. Independent WLANs behave like WLANs as used on a a standalone Access Point. Leave this
option unselected (as is by default) to keep this WLAN an extended WLAN (a typical centralized WLAN created on the
switch).
For an overview of AAP and how it is configured and deployed using the switch and Access Point, see
Overview.
VLAN ID Displays the VLAN ID of VLANs assigned to WLANs. By default, all WLANs created are assigned to VLAN 1.
Dynamic Assignment With any authentication method that involves a Radius server, the Radius server may be configured to include a
VLAN Id attribute in its "ACCESS Accept" response. This VLAN, instead of the configured VLAN(s) on this WLAN, will be
assigned to the mobile unit. Enabling this check mark will enable switch to take VLAN ID from Radius response.
When disabled, switch will ignore the VLAN ID from Radius response.
Assign Multiple VLANs Click this button when it is desirable to assign multiple VLANs to this WLAN. For more information, seeAssigning
Multiple VLANs per WLAN on page 4-113.
802.11w-PMF On WLANS with CCMP encryption enabled, choose an 802.11w-PMF mode from the pull-down menu. Available
options are:
•
None
•
Optional
•
Required
SA Query Max Timeout Define the maximum time (in milliseconds) before an SA Query is timed out. The valid timeout range is between
100msec and 6000msec with a default value of 1000msec.
SA Query Retry Define the maximum number of retries before an SA Query is timed out. The valid retry range is between 10msec
Timeout and 1500msec with a default value of 201msec.
NOTE
If the WLAN is to support AAP, the Independent Mode (AAP Only) checkbox must be selected.
Additionally, the Access Point must have its auto discovery option enabled to be discovered by the
switch. For information on configuring an Access Point for AAP support, see
Configuration.
NOTE
For a Radius supported VLAN to function, the "Dynamic Assignment" checkbox must be enabled for
the WLAN supporting the VLAN.
NOTE
When configuring wireless settings for Adaptive APs, all configuration must be done through the
switch and not from the AP management console. Making changes directly in the AP management
console can lead to unstable operation of the Adaptive AP.

802.1X EAP A Radius server is used to authenticate users. For detailed information on configuring EAP for the WLAN, see

Kerberos A Kerberos server is used to authenticate users. For detailed information on configuring Kerberos for the WLAN,
