Parameters Description
Content filtering
Set to Enabled to route all DNS requests for the non-corporate domains to
OpenDNS on this network.
Band
Select a value to specify the band at which the network transmits radio signals.
You can set the band to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or All. The All option is selected by
default.
Inactivity timeout
Specify a timeout interval. If a client session is inactive for the specified
duration, the session expires and the users are required to log in again. The
minimum value is set to 60 seconds and the default value is 1000 seconds.
Hide SSID
Select the checkbox if you do not want the SSID (network name) to be visible to
users
Disable SSID
Select to the checkbox to disable the SSID. On selecting this checkbox, the
SSID is disabled, but not removed from the network. By default, all SSIDs are
enabled.
Can be used without Uplink Select the checkbox if you do not want the SSID users to use uplink.
Max clients threshold
Specify the maximum number of clients that can be configured for each BSSID
on a WLAN in the text box. You can specify a value within the range of 0 to 255.
The default value is 64.
Local probe request threshold
Specify a threshold value in the Local probe request threshold text box to
limit the number of incoming probe requests. When a client sends a broadcast
probe request frame to search for all available SSIDs, this option controls
system response for this network profile and ignores probe requests if
required. You can specify a Received signal strength indication (RSSI) value
within range of 0 to 100 dB.
SSID Encoding <TBD>
ESSID Enter the ESSID. If the value defined for ESSID value is not the same as profile
name, the SSIDs can be searched based on the ESSID value and not by its
profile name.
6. Click Next to configure VLAN settings. The VLAN tab contents are displayed.
7. Select any for the following options for Client IP assignment:
l Virtual Controller assigned—On selecting this option, the client obtains the IP address from the
Virtual Controller.
l Network assigned—On selecting this option, the IP address is obtained from the network.
8. Based on the type client IP assignment mode selected, you can configure the VLANassignment for clients as
described in the following table:
