assoc-response

interface-config-radio-instance

Configures the parameters that determine whether the access point ignores or responds to a client's association/authorization request

Supported in the following platforms:

Syntax

assoc-response [ac-strict|deny-threshold <1-12>|rssi-threshold <-128--40>]

Parameters

assoc-response [ac-strict|deny-threshold <1-12>|rssi-threshold <-128--40>]
assoc-response

Allows you to configure parameters based on which the AP ignores or responds to client's association/authorization request. The options are: ac-strict, deny-threshold, and rssi-threshold.

Note: All three options are disabled by default.
ac-strict

Strictly denies association to clients that are not 802.11ac/VHT capable. Configure this parameter to enable the access point to strictly decline association requests received from wireless clients that are not 802.11ac/VHT capable. When configured, the AP checks if the incoming association request is from a VHT-capable client or not, and denies association if the client is non-VHT capable.

The IEEE 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard that provides VHT (very-high throughput) wireless service on the 5 GHz band.

Note: The 'probe-response ac-strict' command is another way to enable your AP to ignore non-VHT enabled clients. You can issue one or both of the 'assoc-response ac-strict' or 'probe-response ac-strict' commands to prevent non-VHT capable client association. For information on probe-response option, see probe-response.
deny-threshold <1-12> Configures the number of times the AP ignores association/authorization requests, if the RSSI is below the configured RSSI threshold value
  • <1-12> – Specify a value from 1 - 12.
    Note: The AP always ignores association/authorization requests when deny-threshold is not specified and rssi-threshold is specified.
rssi-threshold <-128--40> Configures the RSSI threshold. If the RSSI is lower than the threshold configured here, the AP ignores the association/authorization request.
  • <128--40> – Specify the RSSI threshold from -128 - -40 dBi.
