Description
The anyspot client probe suppression feature decreases network traffic by suppressing probe requests from
clients attempting to locate and connect to other known networks.
Syntax
Parameter Description
clone <profile-name>
Make a copy of an existing anyspot profile.
enable-anyspot
Issue this command to enable the anyspot feature. Note
that you must associate the anyspot profile with a virtual AP
profile for the settings to take effect.
exclude-essid <exclude-essid>
An anyspot-enabled radio will not respond to client probe
requests using an ESSID in the Exclude ESSID lists. To add
an ESSID to the list, enter the full name of the ESSID, then
click Add. To remove an ESSID from the list, select it and
click Delete. ESSIDs from neighboring APs will automatically
appear in this list as long as the anyspot-enabled AP can
detect that ESSID.
exclude-wildcard <exclude-wildcard>
An anyspot-enabled radio will not respond to client probe
requests using an ESSID in the Exclude ESSID list. To
exclude ESSIDs that partially match a text string, enter that
string then click Add. To remove a matching string from the
list, select it and click Delete.
no
Remove or negate any configured parameter.
preset-essid <preset-essid>
The anyspot-enabled AP will not send an ESSID in beacons,
but if a client sends a probe request without an ESSIDs (that
is, the probe request is not looking for a specific network)
then the anyspot-enabled AP will respond to the probe
request with an ESSID from this list.
Usage Guidelines
When an AP is configured to use this feature, the anyspot AP radio hides its configured ESSID in beacons, and
compiles a list of other ESSIDs from detected neighboring APs. If the client sends a probe request without a
specified ESSID, the anyspot AP will respond with a preconfigured ESSID.
When a client searches for a preferred network, that client sends the SSID of the preferred network in the
probe request. The anyspot AP checks to see if there is a neighboring AP using that ESSID that can respond the
