MAX CLIENTS THRESHOLD

Specify the maximum number of clients that can be configured for each BSSID

 

on a WLAN. You can specify a value within the range of 0 to 255. The default

 

value is 64.

 

 

LOCAL PROBE REQUEST

Specify a threshold value in LOCAL PROBE REQUEST THRESHOLD to limit

THRESHOLD

the number of incoming probe requests. When a client sends a broadcast

 

probe request frame to search for all available SSIDs, this option controls

 

system response for this network profile and ignores probe requests if

 

required. You can specify a RSSI value within range of 0 to 100 dB.

 

 

6.Click Next to configure VLAN settings. The VLAN details are displayed.

7.Select any of the following options for CLIENT IP ASSIGNMENT:

• Virtual Controller Assigned—On selecting this option, the client obtains the IP address from the VC. The VC creates a private subnet and VLAN on the AP for the wireless clients. The NAT for all client traffic that goes out of this interface is carried out at the source. This setup eliminates the need for complex VLAN and IP address management for a multi-site wireless network. For more information on DHCP scopes and server configuration, see DHCP configuration on page 65.

• Network Assigned—Select this option to obtain the IP address from the network.

8.If the Network Assigned is selected, specify any of the following options for the CLIENT VLAN ASSIGNMENT.

• Default— On selecting this option, the client obtains the IP address in the same subnet as the APs. By default, the client VLAN is assigned to the native VLAN on the wired network.

• Static— On selecting this option, you need to specify a single VLAN, a comma separated list of VLANS, or a range of VLANs for all clients on this network. Select this option for configuring VLAN pooling.

• Dynamic— On selecting this option, you can assign the VLANs dynamically from a DHCP server. To create VLAN assignment rules:

a.Click New to assign the user to a VLAN. The NEW VLAN ASSIGNMENT RULE data pane is displayed.

b.Enter the following information:

• ATTRIBUTE— Select an attribute returned by the RADIUS server during authentication. • OPERATOR— Select an operator for matching the string.

• STRING— Enter the string to match.

• VLAN— Enter the VLAN to be assigned.

9.Click Next to configure internal or external Captive portal authentication, for the guest users.
