use this information to allocate an IP address to the client from a particular DHCP
pool based on these parameters. See also
DHCP Option 82 for information on
enabling this option for Ethernet ports.
• Force DHCP : Enable this option to force clients to obtain a valid IP address from
DHCP within the specified number of seconds. This prevents clients configured
with a static IP address from connecting to the WLAN. Additionally, if a client
performs Layer 3 roaming between different subnets, in some cases the client
sticks to the former IP address. This mechanism optimizes the roaming experi-
ence by forcing clients to request a new IP address.
• Client Tx/Rx Statistics : Enable this option to ignore unauthorized client statistics
and report only statistics from authorized clients in device view and other reports.
This can be useful for service providers who are more interested in accounting
statistics (after authorization) than in all wireless client statistics. For example, a
Hotspot WLAN can be configured to allow unauthorized clients to connect and
traverse any walled garden web pages without adding to transmission statistics
(until after authorization).
• Application Visibility : Enable this option to allow APs to collect client application
data, which can then be consolidated for use by the Applications and Top 10
Applications by Usage widgets on the Dashboard.
NOTE: Supported APs: R700, 7982, 7372/52, 7055, 7782/81, SC-8800 series.
• When Application Visibility is enabled, the Apply Policy group option becomes
available. Use this option to apply an Application Denial Policy to this WLAN
(see
Configuring Application Denial Policies ).
• Client Fingerprinting : When this option is enabled ZoneDirector will attempt to
identify client devices by their Operating System, device type and Host Name,
if available. This makes identifying client devices easier in the Dashboard, Client
Monitor and Client Details screens.
• Service Schedule : Use the Service Schedule tool to control which hours of the
day, or days of the week to enable/disable WLAN service. For example, a WLAN
for student use at a school can be configured to provide wireless access only
during school hours. Click on a day of the week to enable/disable this WLAN for
the entire day. Colored cells indicate WLAN
enabled . Click and drag to select
specific times of day. You can also disable a WLAN temporarily for testing
purposes, for example.
