3Com WX4400 3CRWX440095A Encryption, Defaults for Radio Profile Parameters, Beacon-interval 100

MAP Overview 209

Encryption

Encrypted SSIDs can use the following encryption methods:

„Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

„Non-WPA dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

„Non-WPA static WEP

Dynamic WEP is enabled by default.

(For more information, including configuration instructions, see Chapter 13, “Configuring User Encryption,” on page 281.)

Radio Profiles You can easily assign radio configuration parameters to many radios by configuring a radio profile and assigning the profile to the radios. To use a radio, you must assign a profile to the radio. You can enable the radio when you assign the profile.

Table 12 summarizes the parameters controlled by radio profiles. Generally, the only radio parameters controlled by the profile that you need to modify are the SSIDs and, if applicable, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) settings. The other parameter settings are standard.

For information about the auto-tune parameters, see Table 25 on page 314.

Table 12 Defaults for Radio Profile Parameters

Parameter	Default Value	Radio Behavior When Parameter Set to
		Default Value
active-scan	enable	Sends probe any requests (probe requests
		with a null SSID name) to solicit probe
		responses from other access points.
		(See “Rogue Detection and
		Countermeasures” on page 567.)
beacon-interval	100	Waits 100 ms between beacons.
countermeasures	Not configured	Does not issue countermeasures against any
		device.
		(See “Rogue Detection and
		Countermeasures” on page 567.)
dtim-interval	1	Sends the delivery traffic indication map
		(DTIM) after every beacon.
