General
Over the Air Provisioning of AP Enable or disable over-the-air Cisco Aironet 1000 Series
lightweight access point and Cisco Aironet 1030 IEEE
802.11a/b/g remote edge lightweight access point (Cisco 1030
remote edge lightweight access point) configuration.
AP Fallback Enabled or disabled checkbox.
Determines whether or not an access point that lost a primary
controller connection automatically returns to service when the
primary controller becomes functional again.
Apple Talk Bridging Enabled or disabled checkbox.
Fast SSID Change Enable or disable Fast SSID.
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a code attached to all packets on
a wireless network to identify each packet as part of that network.
Each client is connected to a particular WLAN (through an AP)
that is identified by the SSID. If the client moves out of reach of
the connected AP, the client has to reconnect to the controller
using a different AP. This procedure consumes some time as the
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server has to
assign an IP Address to the client.
If the Fast SSID option is enabled, the controller will use the
existing IP Address of the client even if the client is on a different
WLAN.
Default Mobility Domain Name Operator-defined Mobility Group Name.
RF Network Name Enter the RF Network Group name.
The valid range for RF Network Name is 8 (minimum) to 19
characters.
Radio Resource Management (RRM) neighbor packets are
distributed among APs within a RF Network Group. The Cisco
APs will only accept RRM neighbor packets sent with this RF
Network Name. The RRM neighbor packets sent with different
RF Network Names will be dropped.
User Idle Timeout Set time out for idle clients in seconds. The factory default is
300. When timeout expires, client loses authentication, briefly
disassociates from the access point, reassociates, and
re-authenticates.
ARP Timeout Timeout in seconds for the Address Resolution Protocol. The
factory default is 300.
