Management Frame Protection; Disabling Short Preamble For Wireless Client; Editing Status Of A Wlan Ssid Profile - Aruba IAP-335 User Manual

To configure the RTS/CTS threshold:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <ssid_profile>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "<ssid_profile>")# rts-threshold <threshold>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "<ssid_profile>")# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To disable RTS/CTS, set the RTS threshold value to 0.

Management Frame Protection

Instant supports the IEEE 802.11w standard, also known as Management Frame Protection (MFP). MFP
increases the security by providing data confidentiality of management frames. MFP uses 802.11i (Robust
Security Network) framework that establishes encryption keys between the client and IAP.
To enable MFP on the IAP:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile myAP
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "myAP")# mfp-capable
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "myAP")# mfp-required
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "myAP")# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
If the mfp-required parameter is enabled, the SSID supports only the clients that exhibt the MFP functionality.
If the mfp-capable parameter enabled, the SSID supports management frame protection (MFP) capable clients
and non-MFP clients.
The MFP configuration is a per-SSID configuration.

Disabling Short Preamble for Wireless Client

To improve the network performance and communication between the IAP and its clients, you can enable or
disable the transmission and reception of short preamble frames. If the short preamble is optional for the
wireless devices connecting to an SSID, you can disable short preamble through the IAP CLI. Short preamble is
enabled by default.
To disable the short preamble:
(Instant AP)# config terminal
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <ssid_profile>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "<ssid_profile>")# short-preamble-disable
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "<ssid_profile>")# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
