Parameters Description
Dynamic multicast optimization
Select Enabled to allow IAP to convert multicast streams into unicast streams
over the wireless link. Enabling Dynamic Multicast Optimization (DMO)
enhances the quality and reliability of streaming video, while preserving the
bandwidth available to the non-video clients.
DMO channel utilization threshold
Specify a value to set a threshold for DMO channel utilization. With DMO, the IAP
converts multicast streams into unicast streams as long as the channel utilization
does not exceed this threshold. The default value is 90% and the maximum
threshold value is 100%. When the threshold is reached or exceeds the
maximum value, the IAP sends multicast traffic over the wireless link.
NOTE: When you enable DMO on multicast SSID profiles, ensure that the DMO
feature is enabled on all SSIDs configured in the same VLAN.
Transmit Rates
Specify the following parameters:
l 2.4 GHz—If the 2.4 GHz band is configured on the IAP, specify the minimum
and maximum transmission rate. The default value for minimum transmission
rate is 1 Mbps and maximum transmission rate is 54 Mbps.
l 5 GHz—If the 5 GHz band is configured on the IAP, specify the minimum and
maximum transmission rate. The default value for minimum transmission rate
is 6 Mbps and maximum transmission rate is 54 Mbps.
Zone
Specify the zone for the SSID. When the zone is defined in SSID profile and if the
same zone is defined on an IAP, the SSID is created on that IAP. For more
information on configuring zone details on an IAP, see Configuring Zone
Settings on an IAP on page 84.
The following constraints apply to the zone configuration:
l An IAP can belong to only one zone and only one zone can be configured on
an SSID.
l If an SSID belongs to a zone, all IAPs in this zone can broadcast this SSID. If
no IAP belongs to the zone configured on the SSID, the SSID is not
broadcast.
l If an SSID does not belong to any zone, all IAPs can broadcast this SSID.
Bandwidth Limits
Select any of the following checkboxes to specify the bandwidth limit:
l Airtime—Select this checkbox to specify an aggregate amount of airtime that
all clients in this network can use for sending and receiving data. Specify the
airtime percentage.
l Each user— Select this checkbox to specify a throughput for any single user
in this network. Specify the throughput value in Kbps.
l Each radio— Select this checkbox to specify an aggregate amount of
throughput that each radio is allowed to provide for the connected clients.
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) traffic
management
Configure the following options for WMM traffic management. WMM supports
voice, video, best effort, and background access categories. To allocate
bandwidth for the following types of traffic, specify a percentage value under
Share. To configure DSCP mapping, specify a value under DSCP Mapping.
l Background WMM: For background traffic such as file downloads or print
jobs.
l Best effort WMM — For best effort traffic such as traffic from legacy devices or
traffic from applications or devices that do not support QoS.
l Video WMM — For video traffic generated from video streaming.
l Voice WMM— For voice traffic generated from the incoming and outgoing
voice communication.
For more information on WMM traffic and DSCP mapping, see Wi-Fi Multimedia
Traffic Management on page 252
Content filtering
Set to Enabled to route all DNS requests for the non-corporate domains to
OpenDNS on this network.
