Advanced Configuration
SSID/VLAN/Security
NOTE: A PXU AP will not allow wireless client association to an SSID having CMOB status enabled until it registers to
either Primary or Secondary PXU module.
11. Enter a unique VLAN ID. This parameter is mandatory.
• A VLAN ID is a number from -1 to 4094. A value of -1 means that an entry is "untagged."
• You can set the VLAN ID to "-1" or "untagged" if you do not want clients that are using a specific SSID to be
members of a VLAN workgroup.
• The VLAN ID must match an ID used by your network; contact your network administrator if you need assistance
defining the VLAN IDs.
12.Specify a QoS profile. See the
13.Specify a 802.1p Priority.
14.Set the Maximum TX Bandwidth in Kbps. If this parameter is set to 0, full bandwidth is available.
15.Set the Maximum RX Bandwidth in Kbps. If this parameter is set to 0, full bandwidth is available.
16.Select the status of Closed System to control whether the SSID is advertised in the beacon and manage the way
probe requests are handled, as follows:
• Enable: The SSID is not advertised in the beacon, and the AP will respond to probe requests with an SSID only if
the client has specified the SSID in the probe request. If the client sends a probe request with a null or "ANY"
SSID, the AP will not respond.
• Partial: The SSID is advertised in the beacon, and the AP will not respond to "ANY" SSID requests. The Partial
setting reduces network traffic by eliminating the repeated broadcast of SSIDs in probe responses.
• Disable: The SSID is advertised in the beacon, and the AP will respond with each configured SSID, whether or
not an SSID has been specified in the probe request.
17.Enable Broadcast Unique Beacon using the drop-down menu. When enabled, Broadcast Unique Beacon allows the
broadcast of a up to four unique beacons when the AP is configured for multiple SSIDs. If Closed System (above) is
set to Partial or Disable, each beacon (up to four) will be broadcast a single SSID. If more than four SSIDs are
configured, then three SSIDs will be broadcast in individual beacons; the fourth and subsequent SSIDs will be
combined in one beacon and will not be broadcast. If Closed System is set to Enable, the SSID will not be broadcast
in the beacon. If Broadcast Unique Beacon is disabled, a combined beacon will be broadcast.
NOTE: Enabling Broadcast Unique Beacon will lower the total throughput of the AP by 2-4%. Enabling Broadcast
Unique Beacon simultaneously with Rogue Scan will cause a drift in the beacon interval and the occasional
missing of beacons.
18.Set the 802.1p Priority given to packets tagged with this VLAN ID. Enter a number between 0-7.
19.If editing an entry, enable or disable the parameters on this page by electing Enable or Disable from the Status
drop-down menu. If adding a new entry, this drop-down menu will not appear.
20.Click OK to return to Wireless-A or Wireless-B Security Configuration Screen.
21.Reboot the AP.
Configuring SSID/VLANs with VLAN Tagging Enabled
With VLAN Tagging enabled (from the SSID/VLAN/Security > Mgmt VLAN tab), multiple SSID/VLANs are supported.
Parameters set on the Wireless-A or Wireless-B tab can be enabled per SSID by choosing the Enable Security per
SSID option.
1. Click SSID/VLAN/Security > Wireless-A or Wireless-B.
2. Select the Enable Security Per SSID option. The screen will update to the following:
