| WLAN |
Displays the name of each available WLAN. Individual WLANs can selected and their
SSID and client management properties modified. Each access
point can support up to 16 WLANs per radio. |
| SSID |
Displays the SSID assigned to the WLAN when created or last modified. Optionally,
select a WLAN and click Edit to update the WLAN's SSID. |
| Description |
Displays the brief description set for each listed WLAN when
it was either created or modified. |
| WLAN Status |
Lists each WLAN's current status as either Disabled
or Enabled. A green check mark defines the WLAN
as available to clients on all radios where it has been
mapped. A red "X" defines the WLAN as shutdown, meaning even
if the WLAN is mapped to radios, it is not available for
clients to associate. |
| VLAN Pool |
Lists each WLAN's current VLAN mapping. Mapping a WLAN to
more than one VLANs is permitted. When a client associates
with a WLAN, the client is assigned a VLAN by load balance
distribution. The VLAN is picked from a pool assigned to the
WLAN. Keep in mind however, typical deployments only map a
single VLAN to a WLAN. The use of a pool is strictly
optional. |
| Bridging Mode |
Lists each WLAN‘s current bridging mode as either Local
or Tunnel. Local infers VLAN traffic is bridged
locally, Tunnel uses a shared tunnel for bridging the WLAN‘s
VLAN traffic. Note: The default setting is
Local.
|
| DHCP Option 82 |
Displays whether DHCP Option 82 is enabled or not. DHCP option 82 provides
additional information on the physical attachment of a
client. Note: This
option is disabled by default.
|
| DHCPv6 LDRA |
Lightweight DHCPv6 Relay
Agent (LDRA) is used to insert relay-agent
options in DHCPv6 message exchanges that identify
client-facing interfaces. These relay agents are deployed to
forward DHCPv6 messages between clients and servers when
they are not on the same IPv6 link. A red “X” indicates that
this WLAN acts as a DHCPv6 LDRA. |
| Authentication Type |
Displays the name of the user authentication scheme each listed WLAN is using to
secure its client membership transmissions. None
is listed if authentication is not used within this WLAN.
Refer to the Encryption Type column if no authentication
is used to verify there is some sort of data protection used
with the WLAN or risk no protection at all. |
| Encryption Type |
Displays the name of the encryption type each listed WLAN is using to secure its
client membership transmissions. None is listed if
encryption is not used within this WLAN. Refer to the
Authentication Type column to verify that
there is some sort of data protection used with the WLAN or
risk using this WLAN with no protection at all. |
| QoS Policy |
Lists the QoS policy applied to each listed WLAN. A QoS
policy needs to be custom selected (or created) for each
WLAN in respect to the WLAN's intended client traffic and
the voice, video, or normal data traffic it
supports. |
| Association ACL |
Lists the Association ACL policy applied to each listed WLAN. An Association ACL is
a policy-based Access Control List (ACL) that either
prevents or allows connection between wireless clients and a
WLAN. The mapping of an Association ACL is strictly
optional. |
