Field Description
Probe Suppression RSS Threshold
(dBm)
This setting is available when Probe Suppression on Low RSS
is enabled. This setting determines the RSS threshold for forced
disassociation and probe suppression. The default threshold is
-90 dBm. Valid value range is -50dBm to -100dBm.
Best Practice: Probe Suppression Threshold should not be
greater than -70dB. The Probe Suppression Threshold defines
the signal strength value that is deemed too low to be
acknowledged by the AP. Setting the threshold above -70dB
can result in an AP not acknowledging clients in close
proximity, leading to poor connectivity or a sub-optimal
roaming experience. The best practice is to follow the Site
Survey methodology to determine the best value for the AP
installation.
Disassociate on Low RSS This setting is supported on AP39xx, AP3xx, AP4xx, or AP5xx.
It is always disabled by default. This setting forces clients with
low RSS to disassociate from an AP radio. This setting is
configured per radio. A client is forced o an AP radio when
RSS is measured at 5dBm below the Probe Suppression RSS
Threshold. Enabling this option forces a client to roam to a
better AP for improved network performance.
Probe Response Retry Limit The default Probe Response Retry Limit is 4. If devices are
having a problem connecting to the network, due to congestion
or due to the quality of the device, consider increasing the retry
limit. Maximum value is 10.
Rx Sensitivity Reduction (dB) New APs are very sensitive and can pick up unwanted channel
interference. If this is an issue, add an oset of 5-10 dB, which
will reduce signal sensitivity and improve signal quality.

VLAN Profile Settings
Associate a topology to a specific device group. This enables you to define a topology that is common
to a set of devices and specify a specific attached VLAN.
Topologies referenced by attached networks or roles are automatically added to the Profile VLANS list.
You can also add topologies manually to the list. When creating a new topology, select the Profiles to
associate with the new topology.
