Configuring the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller and Access
Points
When configuring the access points, use the following guidelines:
Set "Quality of Service (QoS)" to "Platinum".
•
Ensure the "WMM Policy" is set to "Allowed" or "Required"
•
Ensure "Aironet IE" is enabled
•
Disable "P2P (Peer to Peer) Blocking Action" / "Public Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF)"
•
Disable "DHCP Address Assignment"
•
Ensure "MFP Client Protection" is set to disabled or optional
•
Ensure "Client Band Select" is not enabled
•
Ensure "Admission Control Mandatory" is "Enabled" for Voice
•
Ensure "Load Based CAC" is "Enabled" for Voice
•
Ensure "Admission Control Mandatory" is "Disabled" for Video
•
Ensure the "EDCA Profile" is set to "Voice Optimized"
•
Ensure "Enable Low Latency MAC" is disabled
•
Ensure "Aggressive Load Balancing" in the Controller configuration or "Client Load Balancing" in the WLAN
•
configuration are disabled
Enable "Symmetric Mobile Tunneling Mode" if Layer 3 mobility is being used
•
Ensure "ARPUnicast" is disabled, where proxy ARP will then be enabled
•
Ensure that "DTPC" is "Enabled"
•
Enable "Short Preamble" if using 2.4 GHz
•
Note: If clients from other regions are present and will attempt to associate with the wireless LAN, then ensure that World
Mode (802.11d) is enabled.
When using 802.1x authentication, it is recommended to implement CCKM to offer fast secure roaming.

SSID / WLAN Settings

The SSID to be used by voice clients can be configured to only apply to a certain 802.11 radio type.
It is recommended to have the Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 operate on the 5 GHz band due to have many channels available
and not as many interferers as the 2.4 GHz band has.
