Parameter Description
a blacklisted client is blocked indefinitely.
Fast Roaming Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled fast
roaming.
Strict Compliance
If enabled, the virtual AP denies client association requests
if the AP and client station have no common rates defined.
Some legacy client stations which are not fully 802.11-
compliant may not include their configured rates in their
association requests. Such non-compliant stations may
have difficulty associating with APs unless strict
compliance is disabled.
VLAN Mobility
Shows if a virtual AP has enabled or disabled VLAN (Layer-
2) mobility
Remote-AP Operation Shows when the virtual AP operates on a remote AP:
l
always—Permanently enables the virtual AP.
l
backup—Enables the virtual AP if the remote AP cannot
connect to the controller.
l
persistent—Permanently enables the virtual AP after
the remote AP initially connects to the controller.
l
standard—Enables the virtual AP when the remote AP
connects to the controller.
A remote AP should use always and backup for bridge
SSIDs, and use persistent and standard for 802.1X, tunneled,
and split-tunneled SSIDs.
Convert Broadcast ARP requests to unicast
If this option is enabled, all broadcast ARP requests are
converted to unicast and sent directly to the client. You can
check the status of this option using the show ap active and
the show datapath tunnel command. If enabled, the output
will display the letter a in the flags column.
Band Steering
Shows if band-steering has been enabled or disabled for a
virtual AP.
ARM’s band steering feature encourages dual-band
capable clients to stay on the 5GHz band on dual-band APs.
This frees up resources on the 2.4GHz band for single band
clients like VoIP phones.
Band steering reduces co-channel interference and
increases available bandwidth for dual-band clients,
because there are more channels on the 5GHz band than on
the 2.4GHz band. Dual-band 802.11n-capable clients may
see even greater bandwidth improvements, because the
band steering feature will automatically select between
40MHz or 20MHz channels in 802.11n networks. This feature
is disabled by default, and must be enabled in a Virtual AP
profile.
VoIP Call Admission Control Shows if WiFi VoIP Call Admission Control features are
enabled or disabled.
VoIP Bandwidth based CAC
Shows the maximum bandwidth that can be handled by one
radio, in kbps.
VoIP Call Capacity Show the number of simultaneous calls that can be handled
by one radio.
