Function

 

 

 

Ad Hoc Channel

1

Use this parameter when the Radio Mode profile parameter is set to Ad

 

 

Hoc.

 

 

Specifies the channel to be used for an Ad Hoc connection to another client

 

 

device. If a channel is selected that is not supported by the by the radio, the

 

 

default value is used.

 

 

Options are:

 

 

• 1 through 14 (the 2.4GHz channels)

 

 

• 36, 40, 44, 48 (the UNII-1 channels)

 

 

 

Aggressive Scan

On

When set to On and the current connection to an AP weakens, the radio

 

 

aggressively scans for available APs.

 

 

Aggressive scanning works with standard scanning (set through Roam

 

 

Trigger, Roam Delta and Roam Period). Aggressive scanning should be set

 

 

to On unless there is significant co-channel interference due to overlapping

 

 

APs on the same channel.

 

 

Options are: On, Off

 

 

 

CCX or CCX Features

BG: Off

Use of Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) radio management and AP

 

A:

specified maximum transmit power features.

 

Optimized

Options are:

 

 

Full - Use Cisco IE and CCX version number, support all CCX features.

 

 

The option known as “On” in previous versions.

 

 

Optimized –Use Cisco IE and CCX version number, support all CCX

 

 

features except AP assisted roaming, AP specified maximum transmit

 

 

power and radio management.

 

 

Off - Do not use Cisco IE and CCX version number.

 

 

Cisco IE = Cisco Information Element.

 

 

 

WMM

Off

Use of Wi-Fi Multimedia extensions.

 

 

Options are: On, Off

 

 

 

Auth Server

Type 1

Specifies the type of authentication server.

 

 

Options are: Type 1 (ACS server) and Type 2 (non-ACS server)

 

 

 

TTLS Inner Method

Auto-EAP

Authentication method used within the secure tunnel created by EAP-

 

 

TTLS.

 

 

Options are: AUTO-EAP (Any available EAP method), MSCHAPV2,

 

 

MSCHAP, PAP, CHAP, EAP-MSCHAPV2

 

 

 

PMK Caching

Standard

Type of Pairwise Master Key (PMK) caching to use when WPA2 is in use.

 

 

PMK caching is designed to speed up roaming between APs by allowing

 

 

the client and the AP to cache the results of 802.1X authentications,

 

 

eliminating the need to communicate with the ACS server. Standard PMK

 

 

is used when there are no controllers. The re-authentication information is

 

 

cached on the original AP. The client and the AP use the cached

 

 

information to perform the four-way handshake to exchange keys.

 

 

Opportunistic PMK (OPMK) is used when there are controllers. The re-

 

 

authentication information cached on the controllers. The client and the

 

 

controller behind the AP use the cached information to perform the four-

 

 

way handshake to exchange keys.

 

 

If the selected PMK caching method is not supported by the network

 

 

infrastructure, every roam requires full 802.11X authentication, including

 

 

interaction with the ACS server.

 

 

If the active profile is using WPA2 CCKM, the global PMK Caching setting

 

 

is ignored and the client attempts to use CCKM.

 

 

Options are: Standard, OPMK

 

 

Note: This change does not take effect until after a Suspend/Resume

 

 

cycle.

Default is Off and dimmed (cannot be changed).
