AP IP Address Dialog

 Basic Link Rates (Mbps): Displays a comma separated list of link rates supported by the AP.

 Vendor: Specifies the name of the AP manufacturer, which is inferred from the first three bytes of

the MAC address.

 SSID: Specifies the unique identity that prospective Clients use to recognize the network.

MULTIPLE is displayed, if For All BSSIDs is selected in the MAC/Protocol field.

 Is Guest SSID?: Indicates if the SSID is a guest SSID.

 Protocol: An 802.11 device could implement and use protocols a, b/g or a/b/g. The protocol decides

the PHY layer properties and capabilities of the device.

 Channel: Specifies the channel number on which the AP operates.

 Security: Shows the security settings for the AP. If this option is enabled, the AP enforces WEP

encryption on the wireless link. MULTIPLE is displayed, if For All BSSIDs is selected in the

MAC/Protocol field.

 Authentication: Specifies the procedure used by APs to verify the identity of a Client. MULTIPLE

is displayed, if For All BSSIDs is selected in the MAC/Protocol field.

 Pairwise Encryption: Specifies the encryption used for unicast communication between the AP and

a Client. MULTIPLE is displayed, if For All BSSIDs is selected in the MAC/Protocol field.

 Group Encryption: Specifies the encryption used for broadcast or multicast communication from

the AP. MULTIPLE is displayed, if For All BSSIDs is selected in the MAC/Protocol field.

 Cisco MFP/802.11w: Indicates if the AP implements pre-802.11w standard from Cisco or 802.11w

standard to mitigate against the DoS attacks against AP. MULTIPLE is displayed, if For All

BSSIDs is selected in the MAC/Protocol field.

 Turbo Capability: Indicates if an AP can transmit wireless signals at 108 Mbps.

 Super AG Capability: This field indicates that the AP supports Super AG capability. This

capability provides speed and throughput of more than double of standard wireless LAN (802.11)

technologies.

 802.11n Capability: This indicates 802.11n capability of the AP. The field provides information

about whether the AP is compliant with early or standard implementations of the 802.11n standard.

Note: You will see Turbo Capability, Super AG Capability and Pre-11n Capability only if the selected AP has these capabilities.

 Publicly Secure Packet Forwarding: Specifies if the AP relays packets among wireless Clients, that

is, specifies if Publicly Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF) is disabled on the Client.

 Inter-Client Communication Last Detected: For WEP enabled APs, specifies the date and time

when communication between two wireless Clients was last seen.

Note: For Authorized but Mis-configured APs, any properties that violate the specified Authorized SSID template for that

location are shown in red. Read the tool tip on the Console for more information.

 Quarantine Status: Click to open the Quarantine Confirmation dialog and to quarantine the

selected AP if a Sensor is available. If a Sensor is not available, the Quarantine Status of the AP is

Quarantine Pending. Click <Yes> to quarantine the AP.

This automatically displays in the Quarantine Status field in the header of the AP Details dialog.
