WLAN Client Setting Deployment Considerations

Before defining client support settings for a controller, service platform, or access point managed WLAN, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the configuration is optimally effective:

• Clients on the same WLAN associated to an AP can communicate locally at the AP Level without going through the controller or service platform. If this is undesirable, an access point's Client-to-Client Communication option should be disabled.
• When the wireless client idle time setting is exceeded, the client is no longer able to access WLAN resources and must re-authenticate. The default value is 1,800 seconds.
• Access points can support up to 256 clients per access point or radio.
