fdb-update-on-assoc
This parameter enables
seamless failover for silent
clients, allowing them to re-
associate. If you select this
option, the controller will
generate a Layer 2 update
on behalf of client to update
forwarding tables in bridge
devices.
Default: Disabled
— disabled
forward-mode
Controls whether 802.11
frames are tunneled to the
controller using generic
routing encapsulation
(GRE), bridged into the local
Ethernet LAN (for remote
APs), or a combination
thereof depending on the
destination (corporate
traffic goes to the
controller, and Internet
access remains local).
Select one of the following
forward modes:
l Tunnel: When an AP is
in tunnel forwarding
mode, the AP handles
all 802.11 association
requests and
responses. The AP
sends all 802.11 data
packets, action frames
and EAPOL frames over
a GRE tunnel to the
controller for
processing. The
controller removes or
adds the GRE headers,
decrypts or encrypts
802.11 frames and
applies firewall rules to
the user traffic as usual.
l Bridge: When an AP is
in bridge mode, data is
bridged onto the local
Ethernet LAN. When in
bridge mode, the AP
handles all 802.11
association requests
