Define or revise the name for the WLAN. The name should be
logical representation of WLAN coverage area (engineering,
marketing etc.). The maximum number of characters that can be
used for the name is 31.
Use the Available On checkboxes to define whether the WLAN
you are creating or editing is available to clients on either the
802.11a or 802.11b/g radio (or both radios). The Available On
checkbox should only be selected for a mesh WLAN if this target
access point is to be configured as a base bridge or repeater (base
and client bridge) on the radio. If the radio for the WLAN is to be
defined as a client bridge only, the Available On checkbox should
.
not be selected For more information on defining a WLAN for
mesh support, see Configuring a WLAN for Mesh Networking
Support on page 9-9.
Use the Max MUs field to define the number of MUs permitted to
interoperate within the new or revised WLAN. The maximum (and
default) is 127. However, each access point can only support a
maximum 127 MUs spanned across its 16 available WLANs. If you
intend to define numerous WLANs, ensure each is using a portion
of the 127 available MUs and the sum of the supported MUs across
all WLANs does not exceed 127.
Define an MU idle interval (in minutes) for this individual WLAN. If
timeout is exceeded, and the selected radio(s) does
the idle
"hear" the MU, the MU must
continue using the WLAN's resources. Any MU traffic resets the
clock, including broadcast and multicast MU traffic. Imported and
exported configurations retain their defined MU idle timeout
configurations. The default MU idle timeout is 30 minutes for each
WLAN.
Select the Enable Client Bridge Backhaul
WLAN available in the WLAN
Configuration screen. This checkbox can be ignored for WLANs
not supporting mesh networking, to purposely exclude them from
the list of WLANs available in the Radio Configuration page
selected specifically for mesh networking support. Only WLANs
defined for mesh networking support should have this checkbox
selected.
