254CHAPTER 7: CONFIGURING WIRELESS PARAMETERS

Static WEP Tab

All of the settings on the Static WEP tab are explained in the sections on the service profile wizards.

Authorization Attributes Tab

The Authorization Attributes tab lists the default authorization attributes for the SSID. When a user is authorized for the SSID, the switch applies the default attributes to the user unless those attributes are otherwise specified. For example, if a default session-timeout is set for the SSID, and the session-timeout attribute is not defined as part of the individual user or the user’s group, the switch assigns the SSID’s default session-timeout to the user.

Where applicable, the service profile wizards allow you to specify the SSID’s default VLAN but do not allow configuration of the other default attributes.

To change the default VLAN, select it from the VLAN-Name box. To set other default attributes, click in the value column and type the values.

(For more information about attributes and how they are selected, see the “Assigning Authorization Attributes” section in the “Configuring

AAAfor Network Users” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide.)

Broadcast Settings Tab

The Broadcast Settings tab lists the settings for the following broadcast control features. These features help enhance throughput for client data by reducing the amount of bandwidth used by broadcast traffic.

„Proxy ARP—WX responds on behalf of wireless clients to ARP requests for their IP addresses.

„DHCP Restrict—WX captures and does not forward any traffic except DHCP traffic for a wireless client who is still being authenticated and authorized.

„No Broadcast—Sends unicasts to clients for ARP requests and DHCP Offers and Acks instead of forwarding them as multicasts.

All these broadcast control options are disabled by default.
