Out of Band discovery on the 6 GHz band.
APs that provide WLAN service on the 6 GHz band include Reduced Neighbor Report IE in all
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz beacons and probe responses. Out of Band discovery helps clients find 6
GHz SSIDs and channel information that comes from 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz beacons of co-located
access points.
Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) 6E Compliant network
authentication methods.
Note
The World-Wide Universal Access Points 6 GHz radios support only the following Wi-Fi
Alliance (WFA) 6E Compliant network authentication methods:
OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption)
for Open Networks
WPA3-Personal
WPA3-Enterprise
WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit
mode
WPA3-Compatibility
Note
WPA3-Compatibility is
not WFA compliant.
WPA3-Compatibility supports both WPA2 Personal and WPA3 Personal on the same network.
If a WPA3-Compatibility network is assigned to 6 GHz radio, only WPA3 Personal is
assigned, thus making the network compliant.
ExtremeCloud IQ
requires that your 6 GHz radio network assignment be WFA 6E compliant. It rejects network
configuration changes that result in 6 GHz radio network assignments that are not compliant.
It might be necessary to redefine your networks when configuring the 6 GHz radio on the Universal Access
Points.
Note
For all Extreme Networks access points, use the Extreme Networks
certified ACC-WIFI-MICRO-USB console cable. Other MICRO-USB console cables have not been
certified by Extreme Networks.
