Concept Guide

Description Range Default
hide-ssid
Enables or disables hiding of the SSID
name in beacon frames. Note that hiding
the SSID does very little to increase
security.
— disabled
ht-ssid-profile
Name of high-throughput SSID profile to
use for configuring high-throughput
support. See wlan ht-ssid-profile on page
2329.
— “default”
local-probe-req-thresh
APs will not respond to client probe
requests if the SNR value in the probe
request is less than the specified
threshold value.
0-100 dB 0 dB
max-clients
Maximum number of wireless clients for
the AP. This parameter is limited to 255
clients per radio.
0-255 64
max-retries
Maximum number of retries allowed for
the AP to send a frame.
0-15 4
max-tx-fail
The AP assumes the client has left and
should be deauthorized when the AP
detects this number of consecutive
frames were not delivered because the
max-retries threshold was exceeded.

mcast-rate-opt
Enables or disables scanning of all active
stations currently associated to an AP to
select the lowest transmission rate for
broadcast and multicast frames. This
option only applies to broadcast and
multicast data frames; 802.11
management frames are transmitted at
the lowest configured rate.
NOTE: Do not enable this parameter
unless instructed to do so by your Dell
technical support representative.
— disabled
mfp-capable
When enabled, the SSID supports
management frame protection (MFP)
capable clients and traditional clients.
— disabled
mfp-required
When enabled, the SSID only supports
MFPcapable clients.
— disabled
multicast-rate
When configured, the controller chooses
the rate for video multicast frames. You
can configure Modulation Coding
Scheme (MCS) rates as well. MCSis an
important setting because it provides for
potentially greater throughput.
