246 CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING WIRELESS PARAMETERS
To create a radio
profile
To create a radio profile, use the following procedure.
1 Access the WX Switch wizard for the WX switch. (See “Accessing the WX
Switch Wizard” on page 187.)
2 Select Wireless at the top of the wizard, if not already selected.
3 Select Radio Profile from the organizer list on the left side of the page.
4 Select New Radio Profile. The Create Radio Profile wizard appears.
5 In the Name box, type the name of the radio profile (1 to 16 characters,
with no spaces or tabs).
6 To prevent the association of 802.11b clients to 802.11g radios using this
profile, select Exclude 802.11b clients.
Selecting this option prevents associations by 802.11b clients but does
not disable 802.11b protection mode. To guard against interference, an
802.11b/g radio in protection mode sends messages while 802.11g
traffic at higher data rates is being sent, to inform 802.11b devices about
the 802.11g traffic and reserve bandwidth for the traffic. Protection
mode affects overall traffic throughput due to the additional messages
sent by 802.11b/g radios.
7 To enable countermeasures against rogues detected by radios managed
by this profile, select one of the following from the Countermeasures
Type pull-down list:
None—Radios do not use countermeasures. This is the default.
All—Radios use countermeasures against devices classified by MSS as
rogues and against devices classified by MSS as interfering devices.
A rogue is a device that is in the 3Com network but does not belong
there. An interfering device is not part of the 3Com network but also
is not a rogue. MSS classifies a device as an interfering device if no
client connected to the device has been detected communicating with
any network entity listed in the forwarding database (FDB) of any WX
switch in the Mobility Domain. Although the interfering device is not
connected to your network, the device might be causing RF
interference with MAP radios.
Rogue—Radios use countermeasures against devices classified by MSS
as rogues, but do not use countermeasures against devices classified
by MSS as interfering devices.
