Extreme Networks Evaluation Guide: Altitude 4511 Access Point

To manually assign a proﬁle to a device (bypassing all rules or manual adoption), go to the

“Conﬁguration -> Devices -> Device Conﬁguration -> [select device in list] -> Basic

Conﬁguration” menu. Select the policy from the drop down list.

Conﬁguration -> Wireless

Create policies for WLANs and related parameters required for the wireless LAN.

Wireless LANs

webUI navigation: Conﬁguration -> Wireless -> Wireless LANs

details: Create a WLAN policy and select access rules, QoS, ﬁrewall and VLAN policies to apply to

the WLAN. Note that some policies are embedded within policies. For example, a QoS

policy is required within the WLAN policy. This can lead to confusion during conﬁguration.

Anywhere a policy is required in a drop down list, there will always be a Create and Edit

button. If the policy needs to be created, click the Create link next to the drop down box.

WLAN QOS Policy

webUI navigation: Conﬁguration -> Wireless -> WLAN QOS Policy

details: Set the WMM QOS conﬁgurations to apply to clients connecting to the WLAN. WMM

QoS is applied to client packets based on DSCP bit.

Radio QoS Policy

webUI navigation: Conﬁguration -> Wireless –Radio QOS

details: Radio QoS applies to all packets on the radio regardless of WLAN. WLAN QoS rules will

take priority.

AAA Policy

webUI navigation: Conﬁguration -> Wireless -> AAA Policy

details: Create multiple AAA policies with unique RADIUS servers and secret phrase. AAA policies

are required for Enterprise (802.1x) client authentication.

Association ACL

webUI navigation: Conﬁguration -> Wireless -> Association ACL

details: Create policies to control access to the wireless LANs by ﬁltering on the MAC address of

the client.

Smart RF Policy

webUI navigation: Conﬁguration -> Wireless -> Smart RF Policy

details: Create one SmartRF policy for the RF domain. An RF Domain is the collection of RF

spectrum management tools employed by the Altitude 4511 for ecient use of the RF

spectrum. The RF Domain is a key element of a Extreme Networks management entity.

Note that all APs “belong” to an RF Domain. On the Altitude 4511 Controller AP feature,

there is only one RF Domain supported. To conﬁgure multiple RF Domains for a large

enterprise network, use an Extreme Networks RF Controller such as the

Summit® WM3400, WM3600, or WM3700. These dedicated RF Controllers feature multiple

RF Domain management, along with a host of sophisticated Layer 2 and Layer 3 features.
