Override Channel and Transmission Power in an Advanced
Profile Group
The table on the Advanced Wireless Settings screen shows the access points that are
managed in the profiles of an advanced profile group and to which the channel allocation and
advanced RF management settings apply.
After you configure the wireless settings for an advanced profile group (see Configure
Wireless Settings for an Advanced Profile Group on page 182), you can change the channel,
the transmission power, or both for individual access points in an advanced profile group.
For you to be able to configure these settings in the table, two requirements exist:
• Channel. T
o enable the Access Point Channel menu in the table, you must disable
automatic channel allocation on the Channel Allocation screen (see Configure Channels
on page 188).
• Transmission power.
To enable the Tx Power menu in the table, you must disable
automatic Tx power control on the advanced RF Management screen (see Configure
Radio Frequency Management for an Advanced Profile Group on page 195).
 To override the channel and transmission power for individual access points in a
security profile of an advanced profile group:
1. Open a web browser. In the browser’s address field, type the wireless controller’s IP
address.
By default, the IP address is 192.168.0.250.
The wireless controller’s login screen displays.
2. Enter your user name and password.
ARP Suppression Select the enable radio button to enable Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) suppression. ARP suppression decreases the management
traffic that the wireless controller must handle. ARP suppression is
enabled by default and applies to the wired interface only.
With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP addresses of all wireless
clients that are associated with an access point are known, the wireless
controller handles ARP requests in the following ways:
• A packet with a known IP address is forwarded to its destination.
• A packet with an unknown IP address is dropped.
With
ARP suppression enabled, if the IP address of at least one
wireless client that is associated with an access point is not known, the
wireless controller broadcasts (that is, floods) the
ARP requests into the
wireless network.
Select the disable radio button to disable ARP suppression.
