Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 11October 2013Section 2 - Getting StartedSection 2 - Getting StartedThe D-Link DWL-x600AP unied access point (UAP) provides continuous, high-speed access between wireless devices and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless networking in businesses of any size. The UAP enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-the-art wireless networking features.The UAP can operate in two modes: Standalone Mode or Managed Mode. In Standalone Mode, the UAP acts as an individual access point in the network, and you manage it by using the Administrator Web User Interface (UI), command-line interface (CLI), or SNMP. In Managed Mode, the UAP is part of the D-Link Unied Wired and Wireless System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the Administrator Web UI, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP services are disabled.This document describes how to perform the setup, management, and maintenance of the UAP in Standalone Mode. For information about conguring the AP in Managed Mode by using the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch, see the User Manual for the switch.Before you power on a new UAP, review the following sections to check required hardware and software components, client congurations, and compatibility issues. Make sure you have everything you need for a successful launch and test of your new or extended wireless network.The DWL-6600AP and DWL-8600AP are dual-radio access points and support the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n modes. The DWL-2600AP and DWL-3600AP are single-radio access points and support the IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and 802.11n (2.4 GHz) modes.This section contains the following topics:•) “Administrator’s Computer Requirements” on page 11•) “Wireless Client Requirements” on page 12•) “Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the AP” on page 13•) “Installing the UAP” on page 13•) “Basic Settings” on page 16•) “Using the CLI to View the IP Address” on page 17•) “Conguring the Ethernet Settings” on page 18•) “Conguring IEEE 802.1X Authentication” on page 19•) “Verifying the Installation” on page 20•) “Conguring Security on the Wireless Access Point” on page 21To manage the UAP by using the Web interface or by using the CLI through Telnet or SSH, the AP needs an IP address. If you use VLANs or IEEE 802.1X Authentication (port security) on your network, you might need to congure additional settings on the AP before it can connect to the network.Note: The WLAN AP is not designed to function as a gateway to the Internet. To connect your WLAN to other LANs or the Internet, you need a gateway device.Administrator’s Computer RequirementsThe following table describes the minimum requirements for the administrator’s computer for conguration and administration of the UAP through a Web-based user interface (UI).Required Software or Component DescriptionSerial or Ethernet Connection to the Access PointThe computer used to congure the rst access point must be connected to the access point by a serial cable or an Ethernet cable.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 12October 2013Section 2 - Getting StartedRequired Software or Component DescriptionWireless Connection to the Network After initial conguration and launch of the rst access point on your new wireless network, you can make subsequent conguration changes through the Administration Web pages using a wireless connection to the internal network. For wireless connection to the access point, your administration device will need Wi-Fi capability similar to that of any wireless client:•) Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point.•) Wireless client software congured to associate with the UAP.Web Browser and Operating System Conguration and administration of the UAP is provided through a Web-based user interface hosted on the access point. We recommend using one of the following supported Web browsers to access the access point Administration Web pages:•) Microsoft® Internet Explorer® version 7.x or 8.x (with up-to-date patch level for either major version)•) Mozilla® Firefox version 3.5 or later•) Safari 5 and later versionsThe administration Web browser must have JavaScript™ enabled to support the interactive features of the administration interface.Security Settings Ensure that security is disabled on the wireless client used to initially congure the access point.Table 2 - Requirements for the Administrator’s ComputerWireless Client RequirementsThe UAP provides wireless access to any client with a properly congured Wi-Fi client adapter for the 802.11 mode in which the access point is running. The UAP supports multiple client operating systems. Clients can be laptop or desktop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or any other hand-held, portable or stationary device equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter and supporting drivers.To connect to the access point, wireless clients need the software and hardware described in the following table.Required Component DescriptionWi-Fi Client Adapter Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point.Wireless Client Software Client software, such as Microsoft Windows Supplicant, congured to associate with the UAP.Client Security Settings Security should be disabled on the client used to do initial conguration of the access point.If the Security mode on the access point is set to anything other than plain text, wireless clients will need to set a prole to the authentication mode used by the access point and provide a valid username and password, certicate, or similar user identity proof. Security modes are Static WEP, IEEE 802.1X, WPA with RADIUS server, and WPA-PSK.For information about conguring security on the access point, see “Virtual Access Point Settings” on page 47. Table 3 - Requirements for Wireless Clients

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 13October 2013Section 2 - Getting StartedDynamic and Static IP Addressing on the APWhen you power on the access point, the built-in DHCP client searches for a DHCP server on the network in order to obtain an IP Address and other network information. If the AP does not nd a DHCP server on the network, the AP continues to use its default Static IP Address (10.90.90.91) until you re-assign it a new static IP address (and specify a static IP addressing policy) or until the AP successfully receives network information from a DHCP server.To change the connection type and assign a static IP address by using the CLI, see “Conguring the Ethernet Settings” on page 18 or, by using the Web UI, see “Ethernet Settings” on page 35.Caution! If you do not have a DHCP server on your internal network, and do not plan to use one, the rst thing you must do after powering on the access point is change the connection type from DHCP to static IP. You can either assign a new static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a new static IP address so that if you bring up another WLAN AP on the same network, the IP address for each AP will be unique.Recovering an IP AddressIf you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a static IP address by resetting the AP conguration to the factory defaults (see “Resetting the Factory Default Conguration” on page 81), or you can get a dynamically assigned address by connecting the AP to a network that has a DHCP server.Discovering a Dynamically Assigned IP AddressIf you have access to the DHCP server on your network and know the MAC address of your AP, you can view the new IP address associated with the MAC address of the AP. If you do not have access to the DHCP server that assigned the IP address to the AP or do not know the MAC address of the AP, you might need to use the CLI to nd out what the new IP address is. For information about how to discover a dynamically assigned IP address, see “Using the CLI to View the IP Address” on page 17.Installing the UAPTo access the Administration Web UI, you enter the IP address of the AP into a Web browser. You can use the default IP address of the AP (10.90.90.91) to log on to the AP and assign a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server on you network to assign network information to the AP. The DHCP client on the AP is enabled by default.To install the UAP, use the following steps:1.) Connect the AP to an administrative PC by using a LAN connection or a direct-cable connection. •) To use a LAN connection, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network port on the access point and the other end to the same hub where your PC is connected, as shown in the following gure.The hub or switch you use must permit broadcast signals from the access point to reach all other devices on the network.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 14October 2013Section 2 - Getting Started•) To use a direct-cable connection, connect one end of an Ethernet straight-through or crossover cable to the network port on the access point and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the PC, as shown in the following gure. You can also use a serial cable to connect the serial port on the AP to a serial port on the administrative computer.For initial conguration with a direct Ethernet connection and no DHCP server, be sure to set your PC to a static IP address in the same subnet as the default IP address on the access point. (The default IP address for the access point is 10.90.90.91.)If you use this method, you will need to recongure the cabling for subsequent startup and deployment of the access point so that the access point is no longer connected directly to the PC but instead is connected to the LAN (either by using a hub or directly).Note: It is possible to detect access points on the network with a wireless connection. However, we strongly advise against using this method. In most environments you may have no way of knowing whether you are actually connecting to the intended AP. Also, many of the initial conguration changes required will cause you to lose connectivity with the AP over a wireless connection.2.) Connect the power adapter to the power port on the back of the access point, and then plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.3.) Use your Web browser to log on to the UAP Administration Web pages.•) If the AP did not acquire an IP address from a DHCP server on your network, enter 10.90.90.91 in the address eld of your browser, which is the default IP address of the AP.•) If you used a DHCP server on your network to automatically congure network information for the AP, enter the new IP address of the AP into the Web browser.•) If you used a DHCP server and you do not know the new IP address of the AP, use the following procedures to obtain the information:•) Connect a serial cable from the administrative computer to the AP and use a terminal emulation program to access the command-line interface (CLI).•) At the login prompt, enter admin for the user name and admin for the password. At the command prompt, enter get management.•) The command output displays the IP address of the AP. Enter this address in the address eld of your browser. For a more detailed explanation about how to log on to the CLI by using the console port, see “Using the CLI to View the IP Address” on page 24.4.) When prompted, enter admin for the user name and admin for the password, then click Logon.Figure 2 - Web UI Login PromptWhen you rst log in, the Basic Settings page for UAP administration is displayed, as the following gure shows.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 15October 2013Section 2 - Getting StartedFigure 3 - Provide Basic Settings5.) Verify the settings on the Basic Settings page.•) Review access point description and provide a new administrator password for the access point if you do not want to use the default password, which is admin.•) Click the Apply button to activate the wireless network with these new settings. Note: The changes you make are not saved or applied until you click Apply. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN trafc is low. For information about the elds and conguration options on the Basic Settings page, see “Basic Settings” on page 16.6.) If you do not have a DHCP server on the management network and do not plan to use one, you must change the Connection Type from DHCP to Static IP. You can either assign a new Static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a new Static IP address so that if you bring up another UAP on the same network, the IP address for each AP will be unique. To change the connection type and assign a static IP address, see “Conguring the Ethernet Settings” on page 18 (CLI) or “Ethernet Settings” on page 35 (Web).7.) If your network uses VLANs, you might need to congure the management VLAN ID or untagged VLAN ID on the UAP in order for it to work with your network. For information about how to congure VLAN information, see “Conguring the Ethernet Settings” on page 18 (CLI) or “Ethernet Settings” on page 35 (Web).8.) If your network uses IEEE 802.1X port security for network access control, you must congure the 802.1X supplicant information on the AP.For information about how to congure the 802.1X user name and password, see “Conguring IEEE 802.1X Authentication” on page 19.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 16October 2013Section 2 - Getting StartedBasic SettingsFrom the Basic Settings page, you can view various information about the UAP, including IP and MAC address information, and congure the administrator password for the UAP. The following table describes the elds and conguration options on the Basic Settings page.Field DescriptionIP Address Shows the IP address assigned to the AP. This eld is not editable on this page because the IP address is already assigned (either by DHCP, or statically through the Ethernet Settings page).IPv6 Address Shows the IPv6 address assigned to the AP. This eld is not editable on this page because the IP address is already assigned (either by DHCPv6, or statically through the Ethernet Settings page).IPv6 Address Status Shows the operational status of the static IPv6 address assigned to the management interface of the AP. The possible values are Operational and Tentative.IPv6 Autocongured Global Addresses Shows each automatically-congured global IPv6 address for the management interface of the AP.IPv6 Link Local Address Shows the IPv6 Link Local address, which is the IPv6 address used by the local physical link. The link local address is not congurable and is assigned by using the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery process.MAC Address Shows the MAC address of the AP. The address shown here is the MAC address associated with the management interface. This is the address by which the AP is known externally to other networks.Firmware Version Shows version information about the rmware currently installed on the AP. As new versions of the WLAN AP rmware become available, you can upgrade the rmware on your APs.Product Identier Identies the AP hardware model.Hardware Version Identies the AP hardware version.Serial Number Shows the AP serial number.Device Name Generic name to identify the type of hardware.Device Description Provides information about the product hardware.Current Password Enter the current administrator password. You must correctly enter the current password before you are able to change it.New Password Enter a new administrator password. The characters you enter are displayed as bullet characters to prevent others from seeing your password as you type.The administrator password must be an alphanumeric string of up to 8 characters. Do not use special characters or spaces.Note: As an immediate rst step in securing your wireless network, we recommend that you change the administrator password from the default.Conrm New Password Re-enter the new administrator password to conrm that you typed it as intended.Baud Rate Select a baud rate for the serial port connection. The baud rate on the AP must match the baud rate on the terminal or terminal emulator to connect to the AP command-line interface (CLI) by using a serial (console) connection.The following baud rates are available: •) 9600•) 19200•) 38400•) 57600•) 115200System Name Enter a name for the AP. This name appears only on the Basic Settings page and is a name to identify the AP to the administrator. Use up to 64 alphanumeric characters, for example My AP.

For example, if the AP global IPv6 address is 2520::230:abff:fe00:2420, type the following address into the IE7 address eld: http://[2520::230:abff:fe00:2420].To connect to the iPv6 link local address, replace the colons (:) with hyphens (-), add the interface number preceded with an “s,” then add “.ipv6-literal.net.” For example, if the AP link local address is fe80::230:abff:fe00:2420, and the Windows interface is dened as “%6,” type the following address into the IE7 address eld: http://fe80--230-abff-fe00-2420s6.ipv6-literal.net.Using the CLI to View the IP AddressThe DHCP client on the UAP is enabled by default. If you connect the UAP to a network with a DHCP server, the AP automatically acquires an IP address. To manage the UAP by using the Administrator UI, you must enter the IP address of the access point into a Web browser. If a DHCP server on your network assigns an IP address to the UAP, and you do not know the IP address, use the following steps to view the IP address of the UAP:1.) Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port.If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm.2.) Congure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:•) Baud rate: 115200 bps•) Data bits: 8•) Parity: none•) Stop bit: 1•) Flow control: none3.) Press the return key, and a login prompt should appear.The login name is admin. The default password is admin. After a successful login, the screen shows the (Access Point Name)# prompt. 4.) At the login prompt, enter get management.Information similar to the following prints to the screen.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 18October 2013Section 2 - Getting StartedFigure 4 - Command Line Interface (CLI) ConnectionConguring the Ethernet SettingsThe default Ethernet settings, which include DHCP and VLAN information, might not work for all networks. By default, the DHCP client on the UAP automatically broadcasts requests for network information. If you want to use a static IP address, you must disable the DHCP client and manually congure the IP address and other network information.The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. If you already have a management VLAN congured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the access point. For information about using the Web interface to congure the Ethernet settings, see “Ethernet Settings” on page 35. You can also use the CLI to congure the Ethernet settings, which the following section describes.Using the CLI to Congure Ethernet SettingsUse the commands shown in the following table to view and set values for the Ethernet (wired) interface.

Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and ne-tune the AP by modifying advanced conguration features.1.) Connect the access point to the LAN.•) If you congured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients.•) If you congured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point, do the following procedures:•) Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.•) Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.•) Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card.2.) Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients.Test the UAP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about requirements for these clients, see “Wireless Client Requirements” on page 12.3.) Secure and congure the access point by using advanced features.Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers of security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and congure performance settings.Note: The WLAN AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous conguration changes. If more than one administrator is logged onto the Administration Web pages and making changes to the conguration, there is no guarantee that all conguration changes specied by multiple users will be applied.By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access your LAN. An important next step is to congure security, as described in “Virtual Access Point Settings” on page 47.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 21October 2013Section 2 - Getting StartedConguring Security on the Wireless Access PointYou congure secure wireless client access by conguring security for each virtual access point (VAP) that you enable. You can congure up to 16 VAPs per radio that simulate multiple APs in one physical access point. By default, only one VAP is enabled. For each VAP, you can congure a unique security mode to control wireless client access. Each radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0-15. By default, only VAP 0 on each radio is enabled. VAP0 has the following default settings:•) VLAN ID: 1•) Broadcast SSID: Enabled•) SSID: dlink1•) Security: None•) MAC Authentication Type: None•) Redirect Mode: None All other VAPs are disabled by default. The default SSID for VAPs 1–15 is ”dlinkx” where x is the VAP ID.To prevent unauthorized access to the UAP, we recommend that you select and congure a security option other than None for the default VAP and for each VAP that you enable.For information about how to congure the security settings on each VAP, see “Virtual Access Point Settings” on page 47.

This data is reported in UTC format (also known as Greenwich Mean Time). You need to convert the reported time to your local time. Conguring Persistent Logging OptionsIf the system unexpectedly reboots, log messages can be useful to diagnose the cause. However, log messages are erased when the system reboots unless you enable persistent logging.Caution! Enabling persistent logging can wear out the ash (non-volatile) memory and degrade network performance. You should only enable persistent logging to debug a problem. Make sure you disable persistent logging after you nish debugging the problem.To congure persistent logging on the Events page, set the persistence, severity, and depth options as described in the following table, and then click Apply.

Choose Disabled to save system logs to volatile memory. Logs in volatile memory are deleted when the system reboots.Severity Specify the severity level of the log messages to write to non-volatile memory. For example, if you specify 2, critical, alert, and emergency logs are written to non-volatile memory. Error messages with a severity level of 3 – 7 are written to volatile memory.•) 0 — emergency•) 1 — alert•) 2 — critical•) 3 — error•) 4 — warning•) 5 — notice•) 6 — info•) 7 — debugDepth You can store up to 128 messages in non-volatile memory. Once the number you congure in this eld is reached, the oldest log event is overwritten by the new log event.Table 7 - Logging OptionsNote: To apply your changes, click Apply. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low. Conguring the Log Relay Host for Kernel MessagesThe Kernel Log is a comprehensive list of system events (shown in the System Log) and kernel messages such as error conditions, like dropping frames.You cannot view kernel log messages directly from the Administration Web UI for an AP. You must rst set up a remote server running a syslog process and acting as a syslog log relay host on your network. Then, you can congure the UAP to send syslog messages to the remote server.Remote log server collection for AP syslog messages provides the following features:•) Allows aggregation of syslog messages from multiple APs•) Stores a longer history of messages than kept on a single AP•) Triggers scripted management operations and alertsTo use Kernel Log relaying, you must congure a remote server to receive the syslog messages. The procedure to congure a remote log host depends on the type of system you use as the remote host. Note: The syslog process will default to use port 514. We recommend keeping this default port. However; If you choose to recongure the log port, make sure that the port number you assign to syslog is not being used by another process.Enabling or Disabling the Log Relay Host on the Events PageTo enable and congure Log Relaying on the Events page, set the Log Relay options as described in the following table, and then click Apply.Field DescriptionRelay Log Select Enabled to allow the UAP to send log messages to a remote host. Select Disabled to keep all log messages on the local system.Relay Host Specify the IP Address or DNS name of the remote log server.Relay Port Specify the Port number for the syslog process on the Relay Host.The default port is 514.Table 8 - Log Relay Host

For example, an entry of wlan0vap2 means the client is associated with Radio 1, VAP 2.An entry of wlan0 means the client is associated with VAP 0 on Radio 1. An entry of wlan1 means the client is associated with VAP 0 on Radio 2.Station Shows the MAC address of the associated wireless client.Status The Authenticated and Associated Status shows the underlying IEEE 802.11 authentication and association status, which is present no matter which type of security the client uses to connect to the AP. This status does not show IEEE 802.1X authentication or association status. Some points to keep in mind with regard to this eld are: •) If the AP security mode is None or Static WEP, the authentication and association status of clients showing on the Client Associations page will be in line with what is expected; that is, if a client shows as authenticated to the AP, it will be able to transmit and receive data. (This is because Static WEP uses only IEEE 802.11 authentication.) •) If the AP uses IEEE 802.1X or WPA security, however, it is possible for a client association to show on this page as authenticated (via the IEEE 802.11 security) but actually not be authenticated to the AP via the second layer of security.From Station Shows the number of packets and bytes received from the wireless client and the number of packets and bytes that were dropped after being received.To Station Shows the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the AP to the wireless client and the number of packets and bytes that were dropped upon transmission.Table 10 - Associated ClientsViewing TSPEC Client AssociationsThe TSPEC Client Association Status and Statistics page provides some basic information about the client associations status and a real-time display of the transmit and receive statistics for the TSPEC clients. All transmit and receive statistics shown are totals since the client association started.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 27October 2013Section 3 - Viewing Access Point StatusA TSPEC is a trafc specication that is sent from a QoS-capable wireless client to an AP requesting a certain amount of network access for the trafc stream (TS) it represents. A trafc stream is a collection of data packets identied by the wireless client as belonging to a particular user priority. An example of a voice trafc stream is a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ telephone handset that marks its codec-generated data packets as voice priority trafc. An example of a video trafc stream is a video player application on a wireless laptop that prioritizes a video conference feed from a corporate server.

Also shows the number of packets:•) in excess of an admitted TSPEC.•) for which no TSPEC has been established when admission is required by the AP.Table 11 - TSPEC Client AssociationsLink Integrity MonitoringThe UAP provides link integrity monitoring to continually verify its connection to each associated client. To do this, the AP sends data packets to clients every few seconds when no other trafc is passing. This allows the AP to detect when a client goes out of range, even during periods when no normal trafc is exchanged. The client connection drops off the list within 300 seconds if these data packets are not acknowledged, even if no disassociation message is received.Viewing Rogue AP DetectionThe status page to view Rogue AP Detection information provides real-time statistics for all APs within range of the AP on which you are viewing the Administration Web pages. When AP detection is enabled, the radio will periodically switch from its operating channel to scan other channels within the same band. Click Refresh to update the screen and display the most current information. The Rogue AP Detection page contains the following two lists:•) Detected Rogue AP List — Lists all APs within range of the AP that have not been acknowledged as known APs.•) Known AP List — Lists all APs within range of the AP that have been acknowledged as known APs either by clicking the Grant button associated with an AP in the Detected Rogue AP List or by appearing in an imported AP list.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 38October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access PointField DescriptionMode The Mode denes the Physical Layer (PHY) standard the radio uses.Note: The modes available depend on the country code setting and the radio selected.Select one of the following modes for radio 1:•) IEEE 802.11a is a PHY standard that species operating in the 5 GHz U-NII band using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 6 to 54 Mbps. •) IEEE 802.11a/n operates in the 5 GHz ISM band and includes support for both 802.11a and 802.11n devices. IEEE 802.11n is an extension of the 802.11 standard that includes multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. IEEE 802.11n supports data ranges of up to 248 Mbps and nearly twice the indoor range of 802.11 b, 802.11g, and 802.11a.•) 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that operate in the 5 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11a devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible with legacy devices (802.11a).Select one of the following modes for radio 2:•) IEEE 802.11b/g operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. IEEE 802.11b is an enhancement of the initial 802.11 PHY to include 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps data rates. It uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) or frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) as well as complementary code keying (CCK) to provide the higher data rates. It supports data rates ranging from 1 to 11 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is a higher speed extension (up to 54 Mbps) to the 802.11b PHY. It uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 1 to 54 Mbps. •) IEEE 802.11b/g/n operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and includes support for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices.•) 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11b/g devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible with legacy devices (802.11b/g).Channel Select the Channel. The range of available channels is determined by the mode of the radio interface and the country code setting. If you select Auto for the channel setting, the AP scans available channels and selects a channel where no trafc is detected.The Channel denes the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for transmitting and receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels, depending on how the spectrum is licensed by national and transnational authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R).When automatic channel assignment is enabled on the Channel Management page for Clustering, the channel policy for the radio is automatically set to static mode, and the Auto option is not available for the Channel eld. This allows the automatic channel feature to set the channels for the radios in the cluster.Station Isolation To enable Station Isolation, select the check box directly beside it.When Station Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending trafc through the AP.When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless clients on the same radio and VAP. The AP still allows data trafc between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP, but not among wireless clients associated with the same VAP.

The AE communicates with APs that support the AE protocol in order to collect information about the RF devices detected by the APs. Using the AE protocol, D-Link supports direct communication between AE and the APs. When operating in managed mode, the AE is congured with the IP address of the managed access points from which it collects information. The Wireless Switch cannot communicate with the AE.For more information about the AeroScout protocol, see “Enabling AeroScout™ Engine Support” on page 39.Note: Only AeroScout tag hardware of types T2 and T3 are explicitly supported. Other tag models are also supported only if their implementation of the AeroScout protocol conforms to the AeroScout Engine - Access Point Interface Specication, version 2.1.Note: AeroScout tags operate only in 802.11 b/g mode. Therefore, network administrators who use the AeroScout tags must congure at least one radio on APs that are expected to detect tags in either 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n mode. The radios congured in 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11 mode or any of the 5GHz modes cannot detect AeroScout tags.Note: The AE protocol allows access points to mark detected APs as rogue devices. The D-Link APs do not support this feature and never report detected APs as rogues.Table 18 - Wireless SettingsNote: After you congure the wireless settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low.Using the 802.11h Wireless ModeFor 802.11a radios, if the regulatory domain requires radar detection on the channel, the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC) features of 802.11h are automatically activated.There are a number of key points about the IEEE 802.11h standard:•) 802.11h only works for the 802.11a band. It is not required for 802.11b or 802.11g.•) If you are operating in an 802.11h enabled domain, the AP attempts to use the channel you assign. If the channel has been blocked by a previous radar detection, or if the AP detects a radar on the channel, then the AP automatically selects a different channel. •) When 802.11h is enabled, the AP will not be operational in the 5GHz band for at least 60 seconds due to radar scanning.•) Setting up WDS links may be difcult when 802.11h is operational. This is because the operating channels of the two APs on the WDS link may keep changing depending on channel usage and radar interference. WDS will only work if both the APs operate on the same channel. For more information on WDS, see “Conguring Load Balancing” on page 60.Enabling AeroScout™ Engine SupportThe AeroScout Engine (AE) is a software platform produced by AeroScout Inc. for location-based services. The AE can determine the physical location of 802.11 capable AeroScout devices. The AE communicates with APs that have the AE protocol enabled in order to collect information about the RF devices detected by the APs.The DWS-4000 Series switch supports only direct communication between the AE and the APs. When operating in managed mode, the AE is congured with the IP address of the managed access points from which it collects

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 40October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access Pointinformation. The DWS-4000 Series switch does not communicate with the AE.AeroScout tags operate only in 802.11b/g mode. Therefore, network administrators who use the AeroScout tags must congure at least one radio on APs that are expected to detect tags in either 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n mode. The radios congured in 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n mode cannot detect AeroScout tags. Note: The following notes apply to AeroScout product and protocol support:•) D-Link does not sell AeroScout products. Contact AeroScout for AeroScout hardware, software or deployment information.•) The AE protocol does not support any authentication or encryption between the AE server and the access point.•) The AE protocol requires radios to operate in promiscuous mode. This means that the AP receives and processes all packets detected by the radios, as opposed to processing only packets destined to the APs BSSID. This can affect AP throughput.Modifying Radio SettingsRadio settings directly control the behavior of the radio devices in the AP and its interaction with the physical medium; that is, how and what type of electromagnetic waves the AP emits.To specify radio settings, click the Radio tab in the Manage section.Different settings display depending on the mode you select. All settings are described in the table below.Figure 18 - Modify Radio SettingsThe following table describes the elds and conguration options for the Radio Settings page.Field DescriptionRadio Select Radio 1or Radio 2 to specify which radio to congure. The rest of the settings on this page apply to the radio you select in this eld. Be sure to congure settings for both radios.Radio 1 operates in the 5 GHz band (802.11a/n), and Radio 2 operates in the 2.4 GHz band (802.11b/g/n).Status (On/Off) Specify whether you want the radio on or off by clicking On or Off. If you turn off a radio, the AP sends disassociation frames to all the wireless clients it is currently supporting so that the radio can be gracefully shutdown and the clients can start the association process with other available APs.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 41October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access PointField DescriptionMode The Mode denes the Physical Layer (PHY) standard the radio uses.Note: The modes available depend on the country code setting and the radio selected.Select one of the following modes for radio 1:•) IEEE 802.11a is a PHY standard that species operating in the 5 GHz U-NII band using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 6 to 54 Mbps. •) IEEE 802.11a/n operates in the 5 GHz ISM band and includes support for both 802.11a and 802.11n devices. IEEE 802.11n is an extension of the 802.11 standard that includes multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. IEEE 802.11n supports data ranges of up to 248 Mbps and nearly twice the indoor range of 802.11 b, 802.11g, and 802.11a.•) 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that operate in the 5 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11a devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible with legacy devices (802.11a).Select one of the following modes for radio 2:•) IEEE 802.11b/g operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. IEEE 802.11b is an enhancement of the initial 802.11 PHY to include 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps data rates. It uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) or frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) as well as complementary code keying (CCK) to provide the higher data rates. It supports data rates ranging from 1 to 11 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is a higher speed extension (up to 54 Mbps) to the 802.11b PHY. It uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 1 to 54 Mbps. •) IEEE 802.11b/g/n operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and includes support for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices.•) 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11b/g devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible with legacy devices (802.11b/g).Channel Select the Channel.The range of available channels is determined by the mode of the radio interface and the country code setting. If you select Auto for the channel setting, the AP scans available channels and selects a channel where no trafc is detected.The channel denes the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for transmitting and receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels, depending on how the spectrum is licensed by national and transnational authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R).When automatic channel assignment is enabled on the Channel Management page for Clustering, the channel policy for the radio is automatically set to static mode, and the Auto option is not available for the Channel eld. This allows the automatic channel feature to set the channels for the radios in the cluster.Channel Bandwidth (802.11n modes only)The 802.11n specication allows a 40 MHz wide channel in addition to the legacy 20 MHz channel available with other modes. The 40 MHz channel enables higher data rates but leaves fewer channels available for use by other 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz devices. Set the eld to 20 MHz to restrict the use of the channel bandwidth to a 20 MHz channel.Primary Channel (802.11n modes only)This setting can be changed only when the channel bandwidth is set to 40 MHz. A 40 MHz channel can be considered to consist of two 20 MHz channels that are contiguous in the frequency domain. These two 20 MHz channels are often referred to as the Primary and Secondary channels. The Primary Channel is used for 802.11n clients that support only a 20 MHz channel bandwidth and for legacy clients.Select one of the following options:•) Lower — Set the Primary Channel as the lower 20 MHz channel in the 40 MHz band.•) Upper — Set the Primary Channel as the upper 20 MHz channel in the 40 MHz band.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 42October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access PointField DescriptionShort Guard Interval Supported This eld is available only if the selected radio mode includes 802.11n. The guard interval is the dead time, in nanoseconds, between OFDM symbols. The guard interval prevents Inter-Symbol and Inter-Carrier Interference (ISI, ICI). The 802.11n mode allows for a reduction in this guard interval from the a and g denition of 800 nanoseconds to 400 nanoseconds. Reducing the guard interval can yield a 10% improvement in data throughput. Select one of the following options:•) Yes — The AP transmits data using a 400ns guard Interval when communicating with clients that also support the short guard interval. •) No — The AP transmits data using an 800ns guard interval.STBC Mode This eld is available only if the selected radio mode includes 802.11n. Space Time Block Coding (STBC) is an 802.11n technique intended to improve the reliability of data transmissions. The data stream is transmitted on multiple antennas so the receiving system has a better chance of detecting at least one of the data streams.Select one of the following options:•) On — The AP transmits the same data stream on multiple antennas at the same time.•) Off — The AP does not transmits the same data on multiple antennas.Protection The protection feature contains rules to guarantee that 802.11n transmissions do not cause interference with legacy stations or APs. By default, these protection mechanisms are enabled (Auto). With protection enabled, protection mechanisms will be invoked if legacy devices are within range of the AP. This causes more overhead on every transmission, which will impact performance. However, there is no impact on performance if there are no legacy devices within range of the AP.You can disable (Off) these protection mechanisms; however, when 802.11n protection is off, legacy clients or APs within range can be affected by 802.11n transmissions. The 802.11 protection feature is also available when the mode is 802.11b/g. When protection is enabled in this mode, it protects 802.11b clients and APs from 802.11g transmissions. Note: This setting does not affect the ability of the client to associate with the AP.Beacon Interval Beacon frames are transmitted by an AP at regular intervals to announce the existence of the wireless network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second).Enter a value from 20 to 2000 milliseconds.DTIM Period Specify a DTIM period from 1 to 255 beacons.The Delivery Trafc Information Map (DTIM) message is an element included in some Beacon frames. It indicates which client stations, currently sleeping in low-power mode, have data buffered on the AP awaiting pick-up.The DTIM period you specify indicates how often the clients served by this AP should check for buffered data still on the AP awaiting pickup.The measurement is in beacons. For example, if you set this eld to 1, clients will check for buffered data on the AP at every beacon. If you set this eld to 10, clients will check on every 10th beacon.Fragmentation Threshold Specify a number between 256 and 2,346 to set the frame size threshold in bytes. The fragmentation threshold is a way of limiting the size of packets (frames) transmitted over the network. If a packet exceeds the fragmentation threshold you set, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet is sent as multiple 802.11 frames.If the packet being transmitted is equal to or less than the threshold, fragmentation is not used.Setting the threshold to the largest value (2,346 bytes) effectively disables fragmentation. Fragmentation plays no role when Aggregation is enabled.Fragmentation involves more overhead both because of the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames it requires, and because it increases message trafc on the network. However, fragmentation can help improve network performance and reliability if properly congured.Sending smaller frames (by using lower fragmentation threshold) might help with some interference problems; for example, with microwave ovens.By default, fragmentation is off. We recommend not using fragmentation unless you suspect radio interference. The additional headers applied to each fragment increase the overhead on the network and can greatly reduce throughput.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 43October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access PointField DescriptionRTS Threshold Specify a Request to Send (RTS) Threshold value between 0 and 2347.The RTS threshold indicates the number of octets in an MPDU, below which an RTS/CTS handshake is not performed. Changing the RTS threshold can help control trafc ow through the AP, especially one with a lot of clients. If you specify a low threshold value, RTS packets will be sent more frequently. This will consume more bandwidth and reduce the throughput of the packet. On the other hand, sending more RTS packets can help the network recover from interference or collisions which might occur on a busy network, or on a network experiencing electromagnetic interference.Maximum Stations Specify the maximum number of stations allowed to access this AP at any one time.You can enter a value between 0 and 200.Transmit Power Enter a percentage value for the transmit power level for this AP.The default value, which is 100%, can be more cost-efcient than a lower percentage since it gives the AP a maximum broadcast range and reduces the number of APs needed.To increase capacity of the network, place APs closer together and reduce the value of the transmit power. This helps reduce overlap and interference among APs. A lower transmit power setting can also keep your network more secure because weaker wireless signals are less likely to propagate outside of the physical location of your network.Fixed Multicast Rate Select the multicast trafc transmission rate you want the AP to support.Legacy Rate Sets Check the transmission rate sets you want the AP to support and the basic rate sets you want the AP to advertise:•) Rates are expressed in megabits per second.•) Supported Rate Sets indicate rates that the AP supports. You can check multiple rates (click a check box to select or de-select a rate). The AP will automatically choose the most efcient rate based on factors like error rates and distance of client stations from the AP.•) Basic Rate Sets indicate rates that the AP will advertise to the network for the purposes of setting up communication with other APs and client stations on the network. It is generally more efcient to have an AP broadcast a subset of its supported rate sets.MCS (Data Rate) Settings (802.11n modes only)This eld shows the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index values supported by the radio. Each index can be enabled and disabled independently.Broadcast/Multicast Rate Limiting Enabling multicast and broadcast rate limiting can improve overall network performance by limiting the number of packets transmitted across the network. By default the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting option is disabled. Until you enable Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting, the following elds will be disabled:•) Rate Limit - Enter the rate limit you want to set for multicast and broadcast trafc. The limit should be greater than 1, but less than 50 packets per second. Any trafc that falls below this rate limit will always conform and be transmitted to the appropriate destination. The default and maximum rate limit setting is 50 packets per second.•) Rate Limit Burst - Setting a rate limit burst determines how much trafc bursts can be before all trafc exceeds the rate limit. This burst limit allows intermittent bursts of trafc on a network above the set rate limit. The default and maximum rate limit burst setting is 75 packets per second.TSPEC Mode Regulates the overall TSPEC mode on the AP. The options are:•) On — The AP handles TSPEC requests according to the TSPEC settings you congure on the Radio page. Use this setting if the AP handles trafc from QoS-capable devices, such as a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED phone.•) Off — The AP ignores TSPEC requests from client stations. Use this setting if you do not want to use TSPEC to give QoS-capable devices priority for time-sensitive trafc.TSPEC Voice ACM Mode Regulates mandatory admission control (ACM) for the voice access category. The options are:•) On — A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before sending or receiving a voice trafc stream. The AP responds with the result of the request, which includes the allotted medium time if the TSPEC was admitted.•) Off — A station can send and receive voice priority trafc without requiring an admitted TSPEC; the AP ignores voice TSPEC requests from client stations.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 44October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access PointField DescriptionTSPEC Voice ACM Limit Specify an upper limit on the amount of trafc the AP attempts to transmit on the wireless medium using a voice AC to gain access.TSPEC Video ACM Mode Regulates mandatory admission control for the video access category. The options are:•) On — A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before sending or receiving a video trafc stream. The AP responds with the result of the request, which includes the allotted medium time if the TSPEC was admitted. •) Off — A station can send and receive video priority trafc without requiring an admitted TSPEC; the AP ignores video TSPEC requests from client stations.TSPEC Video ACM Limit Specify an upper limit on the amount of trafc the AP attempts to transmit on the wireless medium using a video AC to gain access.TSPEC AP Inactivity Timeout Specify the amount of time for an AP to detect an downlink TS as idle before deleting it.TSPEC Station Inactivity TimeoutSpecify the amount of time for an AP to detect an uplink TS as idle before deleting it.TSPEC Legacy WMM Queue Map ModeSelect Enable to allow intermixing of legacy trafc on queues operating as ACM.Table 19 - Radio SettingsUse the Radio page to congure both Radio One and Radio Two. The settings on the page apply only to the radio that you choose from the Radio drop-down list. After you congure settings for one of the radios, click Apply and then select and congure the other radio. Be sure to click Apply to apply the second set of conguration settings for the other radio.Conguring Radio and VAP SchedulerThe Radio and VAP scheduler is a standalone DWL-x600AP feature. To congure the Radio and VAP scheduler, select the Scheduler tab in the Manage section. The Radio and VAP Scheduler allows you to congure a rule with a specic time interval for VAPs or radios to be operational, thereby automating the enabling or disabling of the VAPs and Radios.One of the ways you can use this feature is to schedule radios to operate only during the ofce working hours in order to achieve security and reduce power consumption. You can also use the Scheduler to allow access to VAPs for wireless clients only during specic times of day.Each rule species the start time, end time and day (or days) of the week the radio or VAP can be operational. The rules are periodic in nature and are repeated every week. A valid rule must contain all of the following parameters: •) Days of the Week.•) Start Time (hour and minutes).•) End Time (hour and minutes).Only valid rules are added to the prole. Up to 16 rules are grouped together to form a scheduling prole. Any two periodic rules time entries belonging to the same prole must not overlap. The time granularity for the schedules is one minute. The DWL-x600AP supports up to 16 proles.

To associate the Scheduler proles, select the Scheduler Association tab in the Manage section. By default, there are no Scheduler proles created, so no prole is associated to any radio or VAP. The Scheduler prole needs to be explicitly associated to a radio or VAP conguration. Only one Scheduler prole can be associated to any radio or VAP conguration; however, a single prole can be associated to multiple radios or VAPs. If the Scheduler prole associated with a VAP or radio is deleted, then the associated prole to the VAP or radio is removed implicitly. If the radio is operationally disabled, then all the VAPs associated to that radio are also operationally disabled irrespective of the VAP conguration.Figure 21 - Scheduler Association Settings

VAPs simulate multiple APs in one physical AP. Each radio supports up to 16 VAPs.For each VAP, you can customize the security mode to control wireless client access. Each VAP can also have a unique SSID. Multiple SSIDs make a single AP look like two or more APs to other systems on the network. By conguring VAPs, you can maintain better control over broadcast and multicast trafc, which affects network performance. You can congure each VAP to use a different VLAN, or you can congure multiple VAPs to use the same VLAN, whether the VLAN is on the same radio or on a different radio. VAP0, which is always enabled on both radios, is assigned to the default VLAN 1.The AP adds VLAN ID tags to wireless client trafc based on the VLAN ID you congure on the VAP page or by using the RADIUS server assignment. If you use an external RADIUS server, you can congure multiple VLANs on each VAP. The external RADIUS server assigns wireless clients to the VLAN when the clients associate and authenticate.You can congure up to four global IPv4 or IPv6 RADIUS servers. One of the servers always acts as a primary while the others act as backup servers. The network type (IPv4 or IPv6) and accounting mode are common across all congured RADIUS servers. You can congure each VAP to use the global RADIUS server settings, which is the default, or you can congure a per-VAP RADIUS server set. You can also congure separate RADIUS server settings for each VAP. For example, you can congure one VAP to use an IPv6 RADIUS server while other VAPs use the global IPv4 RADIUS server settings you congure.If wireless clients use a security mode that does not communicate with the RADIUS server, or if the RADIUS server does not provide the VLAN information, you can assign a VLAN ID to each VAP. The AP assigns the VLAN to all wireless clients that connect to the AP through that VAP.Note: Before you congure VLANs on the AP, be sure to verify that the switch and DHCP server the AP uses can support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation. To set up multiple VAPs, click Manage > VAP.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 48October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access PointFigure 22 - Modify Virtual Access Point SettingsThe following table describes the elds and conguration options on the VAP page.Field DescriptionRADIUS IP Address TypeSpecify the IP version that the RADIUS server uses.You can toggle between the address types to congure IPv4 and IPv6 global RADIUS address settings, but the AP contacts only the RADIUS server or servers for the address type you select in this eld.RADIUS IP Address RADIUS IPv6 AddressEnter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the primary global RADIUS server. By default, each VAP uses the global RADIUS settings that you dene for the AP at the top of the VAP page.When the rst wireless client tries to authenticate with the AP, the AP sends an authentication request to the primary server. If the primary server responds to the authentication request, the AP continues to use this RADIUS server as the primary server, and authentication requests are sent to the address you specify.If the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected in the previous eld, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server that all VAPs use by default, for example 192.168.10.23. If the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected, enter the IPv6 address of the primary global RADIUS server, for example 2001:0db8:1234::abcd.RADIUS IP or IPv6 Address 1–3 Enter up to three IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to use as the backup RADIUS servers. The eld label is RADIUS IP Address when the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected and RADIUS IPv6 Address when the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected.If authentication fails with the primary server, each congured backup server is tried in sequence. The IPv4 or IPv6 address must be valid in order for the AP to attempt to contact the server.RADIUS Key Enter the RADIUS key in the text box.The RADIUS Key is the shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. You can use up to 63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must congure the same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. The text you enter will be displayed as “*” characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type.RADIUS Key 1–3 Enter the RADIUS key associated with the congured backup RADIUS servers. The server at RADIUS IP Address-1 uses RADIUS Key-1, RADIUS IP Address-2 uses RADIUS Key-2, and so on.Enable RADIUS Accounting Select this option to track and measure the resources a particular user has consumed such as system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on.If you enable RADIUS accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and all backup servers.Enable RADIUS FailThrough Select this option to allow the secondary RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients if the authentication with the primary RADIUS server is unsuccessful, or if the primary RADIUS server is unavailable.

VAPs are congured independently on each radio.VAP You can congure up to 16 VAPs for each radio. VAP0 is the physical radio interface, so to disable VAP0, you must disable the radio.Enabled You can enable or disable a congured network.•) To enable the specied network, select the Enabled option beside the appropriate VAP.•) To disable the specied network, clear the Enabled option beside the appropriate VAP.If you disable the specied network, you will lose the VLAN ID you entered.VLAN ID When a wireless client connects to the AP by using this VAP, the AP tags all trafc from the wireless client with the VLAN ID you enter in this eld unless you enter the untagged VLAN ID or use a RADIUS server to assign a wireless client to a VLAN. The range for the VLAN ID is 1 – 4094.If you use RADIUS-based authentication for clients, you can optionally add the following attributes to the appropriate le in the RADIUS or AAA server to congure a VLAN for the client:•) “Tunnel-Type”•) “Tunnel-Medium-Type”•) “Tunnel-Private-Group-ID” The RADIUS-assigned VLAN ID overrides the VLAN ID you congure on the VAP page. You congure the untagged and management VLAN IDs on the Ethernet Settings page. For more information, see “Ethernet Settings” on page 35.SSID Enter a name for the wireless network. The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters. You can use the same SSID for multiple VAPs, or you can choose a unique SSID for each VAP.Note: If you are connected as a wireless client to the same AP that you are administering, resetting the SSID will cause you to lose connectivity to the AP. You will need to reconnect to the new SSID after you save this new setting.Broadcast SSID Specify whether to allow the AP to broadcast the Service Set Identier (SSID) in its beacon frames. The Broadcast SSID parameter is enabled by default. When the VAP does not broadcast its SSID, the network name is not displayed in the list of available networks on a client station. Instead, the client must have the exact network name congured in the supplicant before it is able to connect.•) To enable the SSID broadcast, select the Broadcast SSID check box. •) To prohibit the SSID broadcast, clear the Broadcast SSID check box.Note: Disabling the broadcast SSID is sufcient to prevent clients from accidentally connecting to your network, but it will not prevent even the simplest of attempts by a hacker to connect or monitor unencrypted trafc. Suppressing the SSID broadcast offers a very minimal level of protection on an otherwise exposed network (such as a guest network) where the priority is making it easy for clients to get a connection and where no sensitive information is available.Security Select one of the following Security modes for this VAP:•) None•) Static WEP•) WPA Personal•) IEEE 802.1X•) WPA EnterpriseIf you select a security mode other than None, additional elds appear. These elds are explained below.Note: The Security mode you set here is specically for this VAP.MAC Authentication TypeYou can congure a global list of MAC addresses that are allowed or denied access to the network. The drop-down menu for this feature allows you to select the type of MAC Authentication to use:•) Disabled: Do not use MAC Authentication.•) Local: Use the MAC Authentication list that you congure on the MAC Authentication page.•) RADIUS: Use the MAC Authentication list on the external RADIUS server.For more information about MAC Authentication, see “Controlling Access by MAC Authentication” on page 59.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 51October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access PointField DescriptionKey Type Select the key type by clicking one of the radio buttons:•) ASCII•) HexWEP Keys You can specify up to four WEP keys. In each text box, enter a string of characters for each key. The keys you enter depend on the key type selected: •) ASCII — Includes upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special symbols such as @ and #.•) Hex — Includes digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.Use the same number of characters for each key as specied in the Characters Required eld. These are the RC4 WEP keys shared with the stations using the AP.Each client station must be congured to use one of these same WEP keys in the same slot as specied here on the AP. Characters Required: The number of characters you enter into the WEP Key elds is determined by the Key length and Key type you select. For example, if you use 128-bit ASCII keys, you must enter 26 characters in the WEP key. The number of characters required updates automatically based on how you set Key Length and Key Type.Authentication The authentication algorithm denes the method used to determine whether a client station is allowed to associate with an AP when static WEP is the security mode.Specify the authentication algorithm you want to use by choosing one of the following options:•) Open System authentication allows any client station to associate with the AP whether that client station has the correct WEP key or not. This algorithm is also used in plaintext, IEEE 802.1X, and WPA modes. When the authentication algorithm is set to Open System, any client can associate with the AP.Note: Just because a client station is allowed to associate does not ensure it can exchange trafc with an AP. A station must have the correct WEP key to be able to successfully access and decrypt data from an AP, and to transmit readable data to the AP.•) Shared Key authentication requires the client station to have the correct WEP key in order to associate with the AP. When the authentication algorithm is set to Shared Key, a station with an incorrect WEP key will not be able to associate with the AP.•) Both Open System and Shared Key. When you select both authentication algorithms:•) Client stations congured to use WEP in shared key mode must have a valid WEP key in order to associate with the AP.•) Client stations congured to use WEP as an open system (shared key mode not enabled) will be able to associate with the AP even if they do not have the correct WEP key.Table 23 - Static WEPStatic WEP RulesIf you use Static WEP, the following rules apply:•) All client stations must have the Wireless LAN (WLAN) security set to WEP, and all clients must have one of the WEP keys specied on the AP in order to de-code AP-to-station data transmissions.•) The AP must have all keys used by clients for station-to-AP transmit so that it can de-code the station transmissions.•) The same key must occupy the same slot on all nodes (AP and clients). For example if the AP denes abc123 key as WEP key 3, then the client stations must dene that same string as WEP key 3.•) Client stations can use different keys to transmit data to the access point. (Or they can all use the same key, but this is less secure because it means one station can decrypt the data being sent by another.)•) On some wireless client software, you can congure multiple WEP keys and dene a client station “transfer key index”, and then set the stations to encrypt the data they transmit using different keys. This ensures that neighboring APs cannot decode each other’s transmissions.•) You cannot mix 64-bit and 128-bit WEP keys between the access point and its client stations.IEEE 802.1XIEEE 802.1X is the standard dening port-based authentication and infrastructure for doing key management. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) messages sent over an IEEE 802.11 wireless network using a protocol

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 52October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access Pointcalled EAP Encapsulation Over LANs (EAPOL). IEEE 802.1X provides dynamically-generated keys that are periodically refreshed. An RC4 stream cipher is used to encrypt the frame body and cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) of each 802.11 frame.This mode requires the use of an external RADIUS server to authenticate users. The AP requires a RADIUS server capable of EAP, such as the Microsoft Internet Authentication Server. To work with Windows clients, the authentication server must support Protected EAP (PEAP) and MSCHAP V2.You can use any of a variety of authentication methods that the IEEE 802.1X mode supports, including certicates, Kerberos, and public key authentication. You must congure the client stations to use the same authentication method the AP uses.Figure 24 - Modify Virtual Access Point Settings (IEEE802.1X)Field DescriptionUse Global RADIUS Server SettingsBy default each VAP uses the global RADIUS settings that you dene for the AP at the top of the VAP page.

With WDS, APs communicate with one another without wires in a standardized way. This capability is critical in providing a seamless experience for roaming clients and for managing multiple wireless networks. It can also simplify the network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required. You can congure the AP in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge mode based on the number of links to connect.In the point-to-point mode, the AP accepts client associations and communicates with wireless clients and other repeaters. The AP forwards all trafc meant for the other network over the tunnel that is established between the APs. The bridge does not add to the hop count. It functions as a simple OSI layer 2 network device.In the point-to-multipoint bridge mode, one AP acts as the common link between multiple APs. In this mode, the central AP accepts client associations and communicates with the clients and other repeaters. All other APs associate only with the central AP that forwards the packets to the appropriate wireless bridge for routing purposes.The UAP can also act as a repeater. In this mode, the AP serves as a connection between two APs that might be too far apart to be within cell range. When acting as a repeater, the AP does not have a wired connection to the LAN and repeats signals by using the wireless connection. No special conguration is required for the AP to function as a repeater, and there are no repeater mode settings. Wireless clients can still connect to an AP that is operating as a repeater.Note: When you move an AP from Standalone Mode to Managed Mode, WDS is disabled. In Managed Mode, you congure the AP by using the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch. The Administrator UI, as well as Telnet, SSH, and SNMP access are disabled when the AP is in Managed Mode.To specify the details of trafc exchange from this access point to others, click the WDS tab.

That is, a remote MAC address may appear only once on the WDS page for a particular AP.•) Both APs participating in a WDS link must be on the same Radio channel and using the same IEEE 802.11 mode. (See “Modifying Radio Settings” on page 40 for information on conguring the Radio mode and channel.)•) When 802.11h is operational, setting up two WDS links can be difcult.To congure WDS on this AP, describe each AP intended to receive handoffs and send information to this AP. For each destination AP, congure the elds listed in the table below.Field DescriptionSpanning Tree Mode Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) prevents switching loops. STP is recommended if you congure WDS links. Select Enabled to use STPSelect Disabled to turn off STP links (not recommended)Radio For each WDS link on a two-radio AP, select Radio One or Radio Two. The rest of the settings for the link apply to the radio selected in this eld. The read-only Local Address will change depending on which Radio you select in this eld.Local Address Indicates the MAC addresses for this AP.For each WDS link on a two-radio AP, the Local Address reects the MAC address for the internal interface on the selected radio (Radio One on wlan0 or Radio Two on wlan1).Remote Address Specify the MAC address of the destination AP; that is, the AP on the other end of the WDS link to which data will be sent or handed-off and from which data will be received.Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Remote Address eld to see a list of all the available MAC Addresses and their associated SSIDs on the network. Select the appropriate MAC address from the list.Note: The SSID displayed in the drop-down list is simply to help you identify the correct MAC Address for the destination AP. This SSID is a separate SSID to that which you set for the WDS link. The two do not (and should not) be the same value or name.Encryption You can use no encryption, WEP, or WPA (PSK) on the WDS link. If you are unconcerned about security issues on the WDS link you may decide not to set any type of encryption. Alternatively, if you have security concerns you can choose between Static WEP and WPA (PSK). In WPA (PSK) mode, the AP uses WPA2-PSK with CCMP (AES) encryption over the WDS link.Table 27 - WDS Settings

This SSID should be different from the other SSIDs used by this AP. However, it is important that the same SSID is also entered at the other end of the WDS link. If this SSID is not the same for both APs on the WDS link, they will not be able to communicate and exchange data.The SSID can be any alphanumeric combination.Key Enter a unique shared key for the WDS bridge. This unique shared key must also be entered for the AP at the other end of the WDS link. If this key is not the same for both APs, they will not be able to communicate and exchange data.The WPA-PSK key is a string of at least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters. Acceptable characters include upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special symbols such as @ and #.Table 29 - WPA/PSK on WDS LinksNote: After you congure the WDS settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 59October 2013Section 4 - Managing the Access PointControlling Access by MAC AuthenticationA Media Access Control (MAC) address is a hardware address that uniquely identies each node of a network. All IEEE 802 network devices share a common 48-bit MAC address format, usually displayed as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits separated by colons, for example 00:DC:BA:09:87:65. Each wireless network interface card (NIC) used by a wireless client has a unique MAC address.You can use the Administrator UI on the AP or use an external RADIUS server to control access to the network through the AP based on the MAC address of the wireless client. This feature is called MAC Authentication or MAC Filtering. To control access, you congure a global list of MAC addresses locally on the AP or on an external RADIUS server. Then, you set a lter to specify whether the clients with those MAC addresses are allowed or denied access to the network. When a wireless client attempts to associate with an AP, the AP looks up the MAC address of the client in the local Stations List or on the RADIUS server. If it is found, the global allow or deny setting is applied. If it is not found, the opposite is applied.On the VAP page, the MAC Authentication Type setting controls whether the AP uses the station list congured locally on the MAC Authentication page or the external RADIUS server. The Allow/Block lter setting on the MAC Authentication page determines whether the clients in the station list (local or RADIUS) can access the network through the AP. For more information about setting the MAC authentication type, see “Virtual Access Point Settings” on page 47.Conguring a MAC Filter and Station List on the APThe MAC Authentication page allows you to control access to UAP based on MAC addresses. Based on how you set the lter, you can allow only client stations with a listed MAC address or deny access to the stations listed.When you enable MAC Authentication and specify a list of approved MAC addresses, only clients with a listed MAC address can access the network. If you specify MAC addresses to deny, all clients can access the network except for the clients on the deny list.To enable ltering by MAC address, click the MAC Authentication tab.Figure 28 - Congure MAC AuthenticationNote: Global MAC Authentication settings apply to all VAPs on all supported radios.The following table describes the elds and conguration options available on the MAC Authentication page.

Any station that is not in the Stations List is denied access to the network through the AP.•) Block all stations in list. Only the stations that appear in the list are denied access to the network through the AP. All other stations are permitted access.Note: The lter you select is applied to the clients in the station list, regardless of whether that station list is local or on the RADIUS server.Stations List This is the local list of clients that are either permitted or denied access to the network through the AP. To add a MAC Address to the local Stations List, enter its 48-bit MAC address into the lower text boxes, then click Add. To remove a MAC Address from the Stations List, select its 48-bit MAC address, then click Remove.The stations in the list will either be allowed or denied access based on how you set the lter in the previous eld.Note: If the MAC authentication type for the VAP is set to Local, the AP uses the Stations List to permit or deny the clients access to the network. If the MAC authentication type is set to RADIUS, the AP ignores the MAC addresses congured in this list and uses the list that is stored on the RADIUS server. The MAC authentication type is set on the VAP conguration page.Table 30 - MAC AuthenticationNote: After you congure local MAC Authentication settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low. Conguring MAC Authentication on the RADIUS ServerIf you use RADIUS MAC authentication for MAC-based access control, you must congure a station list on the RADIUS server. The station list contains client MAC address entries, and the format for the list is described in the following table.RADIUS Server Attribute Description ValueUser-Name (1) MAC address of the client station. Valid Ethernet MAC Address.User-Password (2) A xed global password used to lookup a client MAC entry.NOPASSWORDTable 31 - RADIUS Server Attributes for MAC AuthenticationConguring Load BalancingYou can set network utilization thresholds on the UAP to maintain the speed and performance of the wireless network as clients associate and disassociate with the AP. The load balancing settings apply to all supported radios. To congure load balancing and set limits and behavior to be triggered by a specied utilization rate of the access point, click the Load Balancing tab and update the elds shown in the following gure.Figure 29 - Modify Load Balancing Settings

Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low. Managed Access Point OverviewThe UAP can operate in two modes: Standalone Mode or Managed Mode. In Standalone Mode, the UAP acts as an individual AP in the network, and you manage it by using the Administrator Web User Interface (UI), CLI, or SNMP. In Managed Mode, the UAP is part of the D-Link Unied Wired and Wireless System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the Administrator Web UI, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP services are disabled.On the UAP, you can congure the IP addresses of up to four D-Link Unied Wireless Switches that can manage it. In order to manage the AP, the switch and AP must discover each other. There are multiple ways for a switch to discover an AP. Adding the IP address of the switch to the AP while it is in Standalone Mode is one way to enable switch-to-AP discovery.Transitioning Between ModesEvery 30 seconds, the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch sends a keepalive message to all of the access points it manages. Each AP checks for the keepalive messages on the SSL TCP connection. As long as the AP maintains communication with the switch through the keepalive messages, it remains in Managed Mode.If the AP does not receive a message within 45 seconds of the last keepalive message, the AP assumes the switch has failed and terminates its TCP connection to the switch, and the AP enters Standalone Mode.Once the AP transitions to Standalone Mode, it continues to forward trafc without any loss. The AP uses the conguration on the VAPs congured in VLAN Forwarding mode (the standard, non-tunneled mode).While the AP is in Standalone Mode, you can manage it by using the Web interface or the CLI (through Telnet or SSH).For any clients that are connected to the AP through tunneled VAPs, the AP sends disassociate messages and disables the tunneled VAPs.As long as the Managed AP Administrative Mode is set to Enabled, the AP starts discovery procedures. If the AP establishes a connection with a wireless switch, which may or may not be the same switch it was connected to before, the switch sends the AP its conguration and the AP sends the wireless switch information about all currently associated clients.After the conguration from the switch is applied, the AP radio(s) restart. Client trafc is briey interrupted until the radio(s) are up and the clients are re-associated.

If you disable the protocol you are currently using to access the AP management interface, the current connection will end and you will not be able to access the AP by using that protocol until it is enabled.Conguring SNMP on the Access PointSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) denes a standard for recording, storing, and sharing information about network devices. SNMP facilitates network management, troubleshooting, and maintenance. The AP supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3. Unless specically noted, all conguration parameters on this page apply to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c only.Key components of any SNMP-managed network are managed devices, SNMP agents, and a management system. The agents store data about their devices in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP manager when requested. Managed devices can be network nodes such as APs, routers, switches, bridges, hubs, servers, or printers.The UAP can function as an SNMP managed device for seamless integration into network management systems such as HP OpenView. From the SNMP page under the Services heading, you can start or stop control of SNMP agents, congure community passwords, access MIBs, and congure SNMP Trap destinations. From the pages under the SNMPv3 heading, you can manage SNMPv3 users and their security levels and dene access control to the SNMP MIBs. For information about how to congure SNMPv3 views, groups, users, and targets, see “Section 6 - Conguring SNMPv3” on page 75. To congure SNMP, click the SNMP tab under the Services heading and update the elds described in the table below.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 67October 2013Section 5 - Conguring Access Point ServicesFigure 34 - SNMP CongurationField DescriptionSNMP Enabled/Disabled You can specify the SNMP administrative mode on your network. By default SNMP is enabled. To enable SNMP, click Enabled. To disable SNMP, click Disabled. After changing the mode, you must click Apply to save your conguration changes.Note: If SNMP is disabled, all remaining elds on the SNMP page are disabled. This is a global SNMP parameter which applies to SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.Read-only community name (for permitted SNMP get operations)Enter a read-only community name. The valid range is 1-256 characters.The community name, as dened in SNMPv2c, acts as a simple authentication mechanism to restrict the machines on the network that can request data to the SNMP agent. The name functions as a password, and the request is assumed to be authentic if the sender knows the password.The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.Port number the SNMP agent will listen toBy default an SNMP agent only listens to requests from port 161. However, you can congure this so the agent listens to requests on another port.Enter the port number on which you want the SNMP agents to listen to requests. The valid range is 1-65535.Note: This is a global SNMP parameter that applies to SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.Allow SNMP set requests You can choose whether or not to allow SNMP set requests on the AP. Enabling SNMP set requests means that machines on the network can execute conguration changes via the SNMP agent on the AP to the D-Link System MIB. To enable SNMP set requests, click Enabled. To disable SNMP set requests, click Disabled.Read-write community name (for permitted SNMP set operations)If you have enabled SNMP set requests you can set a read-write community name. The valid range is 1-256 characters.Setting a community name is similar to setting a password. Only requests from the machines that identify themselves with this community name will be accepted.The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.Restrict the source of SNMP requests to only the designated hosts or subnetsYou can restrict the source of permitted SNMP requests.To restrict the source of permitted SNMP requests, click Enabled.To permit any source submitting an SNMP request, click Disabled.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 68October 2013Section 5 - Conguring Access Point ServicesField DescriptionHostname, address or subnet of Network Management SystemSpecify the IPv4 DNS hostname or subnet of the machines that can execute get and set requests to the managed devices. The valid range is 1-256 characters.As with community names, this provides a level of security on SNMP settings. The SNMP agent will only accept requests from the hostname or subnet specied here.To specify a subnet, enter one or more subnetwork address ranges in the form address/mask_length where address is an IP address and mask_length is the number of mask bits. Both formats address/mask and address/mask_length are supported. Individual hosts can be provided for this, i.e. IP Address or Hostname. For example, if you enter a range of 192.168.1.0/24 this species a subnetwork with address 192.168.1.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The address range is used to specify the subnet of the designated NMS. Only machines with IP addresses in this range are permitted to execute get and set requests on the managed device. Given the example above, the machines with addresses from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254 can execute SNMP commands on the device. (The address identied by sufx .0 in a subnetwork range is always reserved for the subnet address, and the address identied by .255 in the range is always reserved for the broadcast address). As another example, if you enter a range of 10.10.1.128/25 machines with IP addresses from 10.10.1.129 through 10.10.1.254 can execute SNMP requests on managed devices. In this example, 10.10.1.128 is the network address and 10.10.1.255 is the broadcast address. 126 addresses would be designated.IPv6 Hostname or IPv6 subnet of Network Management SystemSpecify the IPv6 DNS hostname or subnet of the machines that can execute get and set requests to the managed devices.Community name for traps Enter the global community string associated with SNMP traps. The valid range is 1-256 characters.Traps sent from the device will provide this string as a community name.The community name can be in any alphanumeric format. Special characters are not permitted.Hostname or IP address Enter the DNS hostname of the computer to which you want to send SNMP traps. The valid range is 1-256 characters.An example of a DNS hostname is: snmptraps.foo.com. Since SNMP traps are sent randomly from the SNMP agent, it makes sense to specify where exactly the traps should be sent. You can add up to a maximum of three DNS hostnames. Ensure you select the Enabled check box beside the appropriate hostname.Table 37 - SNMP SettingsNote: After you congure the SNMP settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low.Setting the SSH StatusSecure Shell (SSH) is a program that provides access to the DWL-x600AP CLI from a remote host. SSH is more secure than Telnet for remote access because it provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. From the SSH page, you can enable or disable SSH access to the system. Figure 35 - Set SSH Status

From the Telnet page, you can enable or disable Telnet access to the system. Figure 36 - Set Telnet StatusField DescriptionTelnet Status Choose to either enable or disable Telnet access to the AP CLI:•) To permit remote access to the AP by using Telnet, click Enabled.•) To prevent remote access to the AP by using Telnet, click Disabled.Table 39 - Telnet SettingsConguring Quality of ServiceQuality of Service (QoS) provides you with the ability to specify parameters on multiple queues for increased throughput and better performance of differentiated wireless trafc like Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of audio, video, and streaming media, as well as traditional IP data over the UAP.Conguring QoS on the UAP consists of setting parameters on existing queues for different types of wireless trafc, and effectively specifying minimum and maximum wait times (through Contention Windows) for transmission. The settings described here apply to data transmission behavior on the AP only, not to that of the client stations.AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect trafc owing from the AP to the client station.Station Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect trafc owing from the client station to the AP.The default values for the AP and station EDCA parameters are those suggested by the Wi-Fi Alliance in the WMM specication. In normal use these values should not need to be changed. Changing these values will affect the QoS provided.Note: On the DWL-6600AP and DWL-8600AP, the QoS settings apply to both radios, but the trafc for each radio is queued independently. To set up queues for QoS, click the QoS tab under the Services heading and congure settings as described in the table below.

Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.•) Data 1(Video) — High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue.•) Data 2 (Best Effort) — Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.•) Data 3 (Background) — Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example).AIFS (Inter-Frame Space)The Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS) species a wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots. Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255.cwMin (Minimum Contention Window)This parameter is input to the algorithm that determines the initial random back off wait time (window) for retry of a transmission. The value specied for Minimum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random back off wait time is determined.The rst random number generated will be a number between 0 and the number specied here.If the rst random back off wait time expires before the data frame is sent, a retry counter is incremented and the random back off value (window) is doubled. Doubling will continue until the size of the random back off value reaches the number dened in the Maximum Contention Window.Valid values for cwMin are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin must be lower than the value for cwMax.cwMax (Maximum Contention Window)The value specied for the Maximum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random back off value. This doubling continues until either the data frame is sent or the Maximum Contention Window size is reached.Once the Maximum Contention Window size is reached, retries will continue until a maximum number of retries allowed is reached.Valid values for cwMax are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMax must be higher than the value for cwMin.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 71October 2013Section 5 - Conguring Access Point ServicesField DescriptionMax. Burst Length The Max. Burst Length is an AP EDCA parameter and only applies to trafc owing from the AP to the client station.This value species (in milliseconds) the maximum burst length allowed for packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple frames transmitted without header information. The decreased overhead results in higher throughput and better performance.Valid values for maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999.Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) SettingsWi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM)Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) is enabled by default. With WMM enabled, QoS prioritization and coordination of wireless medium access is on. With WMM enabled, QoS settings on the UAP control downstream trafc owing from the AP to client station (AP EDCA parameters) and the upstream trafc owing from the station to the AP (station EDCA parameters).Disabling WMM deactivates QoS control of station EDCA parameters on upstream trafc owing from the station to the AP.With WMM disabled, you can still set some parameters on the downstream trafc owing from the AP to the client station (AP EDCA parameters).To disable WMM extensions, click Disabled.To enable WMM extensions, click Enabled.Station EDCA ParametersQueue Queues are dened for different types of data transmitted from station-to-AP:•) Data 0 (Voice) — Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.•) Data 1(Video) — Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue.•) Data 2 (Best Effort) — Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.•) Data 3 (Background) — Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example).AIFS (Inter-Frame Space)The Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS) species a wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots. Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255.cwMin (Minimum Contention Window)This parameter is used by the algorithm that determines the initial random back off wait time (window) for retry of a data transmission during a period of contention for Unied Access Point resources. The value specied here in the Minimum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random back off wait time will be determined. The rst random number generated will be a number between 0 and the number specied here. If the rst random back off wait time expires before the data frame is sent, a retry counter is incremented and the random back off value (window) is doubled. Doubling will continue until the size of the random back off value reaches the number dened in the Maximum Contention Window.cwMax (Maximum Contention Window)The value specied here in the Maximum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random back off value. This doubling continues until either the data frame is sent or the Maximum Contention Window size is reached.Once the Maximum Contention Window size is reached, retries will continue until a maximum number of retries allowed is reached.TXOP Limit The TXOP Limit is a station EDCA parameter and only applies to trafc owing from the client station to the AP. The Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) is an interval of time, in milliseconds, when a WME client station has the right to initiate transmissions onto the wireless medium (WM) towards the Unied Access Point. The TXOP Limit maximum value is 65535.Other QoS SettingsNo AcknowledgementSelect On to specify that the AP should not acknowledge frames with QosNoAck as the service class value.APSD Select On to enable Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD), which is a power management method. APSD is recommended if VoIP phones access the network through the AP.

NTP sends periodic time requests to servers, using the returned time stamp to adjust its clock. The timestamp is used to indicate the date and time of each event in log messages.See http://www.ntp.org for more information about NTP.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 74October 2013Section 5 - Conguring Access Point ServicesTo set the system time either manually or by specifying the address of the NTP server for the AP to use, click the Services > Time Settings (NTP) tab and update the elds as described in the table below.Figure 39 - Time Settings (NTP)Field DescriptionSet System Time NTP provides a way for the AP to obtain and maintain its time from a server on the network. Using an NTP server gives your AP the ability to provide the correct time of day in log messages and session information. Choose to use a network time protocol (NTP) server to determine the system time, or set the system time manually:•) To permit the AP to poll an NTP server, click Using Network Time Protocol (NTP).•) To prevent the AP from polling an NTP server, click Manually.NTP Server (Use NTP)If NTP is enabled, specify the NTP server to use.You can specify the NTP server by hostname or IP address, although using the IP address is not recommended as these can change more readily.If you specify a hostname, note the following requirements:•) The length must be between 1 – 63 characters.•) Upper and lower case characters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted. •) The rst character must be a letter (a–z or A–Z), and the last character cannot be a hyphen.System Date (Manual conguration)Specify the current month, day, and year.System Time (Manual conguration)Specify the current time in hours and minutes. The system uses a 24-hour clock, so 6:00 PM is congured as 18:00.Time Zone Select your local time zone from the menu. The default is USA (Pacic).Adjust Time for Daylight SavingsSelect to have the system adjust the reported time for Daylight Savings Time (DST). When this eld is selected, elds to congure Daylight Savings Time settings appear.DST Start (24 HR) Congure the date and time to begin Daylight Savings Time for the System Time.DST End (24 HR) Congure the date and time to end Daylight Savings Time for the System Time.DST Offset (minutes)Select the number of minutes to offset DST. The default is 60 minutes.Table 42 - NTP SettingsNote: After you congure the Time settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low.

You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can access.A MIB view called “all” is created by default in the system. This view contains all management objects supported by the system.Note: If you create an excluded view subtree, create a corresponding included entry with the same view name to allow subtrees outside of the excluded subtree to be included. For example, to create a view that excludes the subtree 1.3.6.1.4, create an excluded entry with the OID 1.3.6.1.4. Then, create an included entry with OID .1 with the same view name. Figure 40 - SNMPv3 Views CongurationThe following table describes the elds you can congure on the SNMPv3 Views page.Field DescriptionView Name Enter a name to identify the MIB view. View names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.Type Species whether to include or exclude the view subtree or family of subtrees from the MIB view.OID Enter an OID string for the subtree to include or exclude from the view. For example, the system subtree is specied by the OID string .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.Mask The OID mask is 47 characters in length. The format of the OID mask is xx.xx.xx (.)... or xx:xx:xx.... (:) and is 16 octets in length. Each octet is 2 hexadecimal characters separated by either . (period) or : (colon). Only hex characters are accepted in this eld. For example, OID mask FA.80 is 11111010.10000000.A family mask is used to dene a family of view subtrees. The family mask indicates which sub-identiers of the associated family OID string are signicant to the family’s denition. A family of view subtrees allows control access to one row in a table, in a more efcient manner.SNMPv3 Views This eld shows the MIB views on the UAP.

Users in this group use an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be dened. By default, users of this group will have read only access to the default all MIB view, which can be modied by the user. •) RW — A read/write group using authentication and data encryption. Users in this group use an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be dened. By default, users of this group will have read and write access to the default all MIB view, which can be modied by the user.RW and RO groups are dened by default.Note: The UAP supports maximum of eight groups.To dene additional groups, navigate to the SNMPv3 Groups page and congure the settings that the table below describes.Figure 41 - SNMPv3 Groups CongurationField DescriptionName Specify a name to use to identify the group. The default group names are RW and RO. Group names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.Security Level Select one of the following security levels for the group:•) noAuthentication-noPrivacy — No authentication and no data encryption (no security).•) Authentication-noPrivacy — Authentication, but no data encryption. With this security level, users send SNMP messages that use an MD5 key/password for authentication, but not a DES key/password for encryption.•) Authentication-Privacy — Authentication and data encryption. With this security level, users send an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. For groups that require authentication, encryption, or both, you must dene the MD5 and DES key/passwords on the SNMPv3 Users page.Write Views Select the write access to management objects (MIBs) for the group:•) write-all — The group can create, alter, and delete MIBs.•) write-none — The group is not allowed to create, alter, or delete MIBS.

The AP can transfer the le to a TFTP server. The le is formatted in pcap format and can be examined using tools such as Wireshark and OmniPeek.For remote capture mode, the captured packets are redirected in real time to an external PC running the Wireshark® tool.The AP can capture the following types of packets:•) 802.11 packets received and transmitted on radio interfaces. Packets captured on radio interfaces include the 802.11 header.•) 802.3 packets received and transmitted on the Ethernet interface.•) 802.3 packets received and transmitted on the internal logical interfaces such as VAPs and WDS interfaces.From the Packet Capture Conguration and Settings page, you can:•) View the current packet capture status.•) Congure packet capture parameters.•) Congure packet le capture.•) Congure a remote capture port.•) Download a packet capture le.Figure 52 - Packet Capture Conguration & SettingsPacket Capture StatusPacket Capture Status allows you to view the status of packet capture on the AP.

In promiscuous mode the radio receives all trafc on the channel, including trafc that is not destined to this AP. While the radio is operating in promiscuous mode, it continues serving associated clients. Packets not destined to the AP are not forwarded. As soon as the capture is completed, the radio reverts to non-promiscuous mode operation.Client Filter Enable Enable to use the WLAN client lter to capture only frames that are transmitted to, or received from a WLAN client with a specied MAC address.Client Filter MAC Address Specify a MAC address for WLAN client ltering.Note: The MAC lter is active only when capture is performed on an 802.11 interface.Table 48 - Packet Capture CongurationNote: Changes to packet capture conguration parameters take affect after packet capture is restarted. Modifying the parameters while the packet capture is running doesn’t affect the current packet capture session. In order to begin using new parameter values, an existing packet capture session must be stopped and re-started.Packet File CaptureIn Packet File Capture mode the AP stores captured packets in the RAM le system.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 85October 2013Section 7 - Maintaining the Access PointUpon activation, the packet capture proceeds until one of the following occurs:•) The capture time reaches congured duration.•) The capture le reaches its maximum size.•) The administrator stops the capture.During the capture, you can monitor the capture status, elapsed capture time, and the current capture le size. This information can be updated, while the capture is in progress, by clicking Refresh.Figure 55 - Packet File CaptureThe following table describes the elds to congure the packet capture status.Field DescriptionCapture Interface Select an AP Capture Interface name from the drop-down menu. AP capture interface names are eligible for packet capture are:•) brtrunk - Linux bridge interface in the AP•) eth0 - 802.3 trafc on the Ethernet port.•) wlan0 - VAP0 trafc on radio 1.•) wlan1 - VAP0 trafc on radio 2.•) radio1 - 802.11 trafc on radio 1.•) radio2 - 802.11 trafc on radio 2.Capture Duration Specify the time duration in seconds for the capture (range 10 to 3600).Max Capture File Size Specify the maximum allowed size for the capture le in KB (range 64 to 4096).Table 49 - Packet File CaptureRemote Packet CaptureRemote Packet Capture allows you to specify a remote port as the destination for packet captures. This feature works in conjunction with the Wireshark network analyzer tool for Windows. A packet capture server runs on the AP and sends the captured packets via a TCP connection to the Wireshark tool.A Windows PC running the Wireshark tool allows you to display, log, and analyze captured trafc. When the remote capture mode is in use, the AP doesn’t store any captured data locally in its le system.Your can trace up to ve interfaces on the AP at the same time. However, you must start a separate Wireshark session for each interface. You can congure the IP port number used for connecting Wireshark to the AP. The default port number is 2002. The system uses 5 consecutive port numbers starting with the congured port for the packet capture sessions.If a rewall is installed between the Wireshark PC and the AP, these ports must be allowed to pass through the rewall. The rewall must also be congured to allow the Wireshark PC to initiate TCP connection to the AP. To congure Wireshark to use the AP as the source for captured packets, you must specify the remote interface in the “Capture Options” menu. For example to capture packets on an AP with IP address 192.168.1.10 on radio 1 using the default IP port, specify the following interface: rpcap://192.168.1.10/radio1

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 86October 2013Section 7 - Maintaining the Access PointTo capture packets on the Ethernet interface of the AP and VAP0 on radio 1 using IP port 58000, start two Wireshark sessions and specify the following interfaces:rpcap://192.168.1.10:58000/eth0rpcap://192.168.1.10:58000/wlan0When you are capturing trafc on the radio interface, you can disable beacon capture, but other 802.11 control frames are still sent to Wireshark. You can set up a display lter to show only:•) Data frames in the trace.•) Trafc on specic BSSIDs.•) Trafc between two clients.Some examples of useful display lters are:•) Exclude beacons and ACK/RTS/CTS frames:!(wlan.fc.type_subtype == 8 || wlan.fc.type == 1)•) Data frames only: wlan.fc.type == 2•) Trafc on a specic BSSID:wlan.bssid == 00:02:bc:00:17:d0•) All trafc to and from a specic client:wlan.addr == 00:00:e8:4e:5f:8eIn remote capture mode, trafc is sent to the PC running Wireshark via one of the network interfaces. Depending on where the Wireshark tool is located the trafc can be sent on an Ethernet interface or one of the radios. In order to avoid a trafc ood caused by tracing the trace packets, the AP automatically installs a capture lter to lter out all packets destined to the Wireshark application. For example if the Wireshark IP port is congured to be 58000 then the following capture lter is automatically installed on the AP: not portrange 58000-58004.Enabling the packet capture feature impacts performance of the AP and can create a security issue (unauthorized clients may be able to connect to the AP and trace user data). The AP performance is negatively impacted even if there is no active Wireshark session with the AP. The performance is negatively impacted to a greater extent when packet capture is in progress. Due to performance and security issues, the packet capture mode is not saved in NVRAM on the AP; if the AP resets, the capture mode is disabled and the you must re-enable it in order to resume capturing trafc. Packet capture parameters (other than mode) are saved in NVRAM.In order to minimize performance impact on the AP while trafc capture is in progress, you should install capture lters to limit which trafc is sent to the Wireshark tool. When capturing 802.11 trafc, large portion of the captured frames tend to be beacons (typically sent every 100ms by all Access Points). Although Wireshark supports a display lter for beacon frames, it does not support a capture lter to prevent the AP from forwarding captured beacon packets to the Wireshark tool. In order to reduce performance impact of capturing the 802.11 beacons, you can disable the capture beacons mode. The remote packet capture facility is a standard feature of the Wireshark tool for Windows. Note: Remote packet capture is not standard on the Linux version of Wireshark; the Linux version doesn’t work with the AP. Wireshark is an open source tool and is available for free; it can be downloaded from http://www.wireshark.org.Figure 56 - Remote Packet CaptureThe following table describes the elds to congure the packet capture status.

By using the UAP Client QoS features, you can limit bandwidth and apply ACLs and DiffServ policies to the wireless interface. If a VAP uses WPA Enterprise security to authenticate clients, you can congure the RADIUS server to provide per-client QoS information.This section describes the following features:•) “Conguring VAP QoS Parameters” on page 88•) “Managing Client QoS ACLs” on page 89•) “Creating a DiffServ Class Map” on page 95•) “Creating a DiffServ Policy Map” on page 100•) “Conguring RADIUS-Assigned Client QoS Parameters” on page 102Conguring VAP QoS ParametersThe client QoS features on the UAP provide additional control over certain QoS aspects of wireless clients that connect to the network, such as the amount of bandwidth an individual client is allowed to send and receive. To control general categories of trafc, such as HTTP trafc or trafc from a specic subnet, you can congure ACLs and assign them to one or more VAPs. In addition to controlling general trafc categories, Client QoS allows you to congure per-client conditioning of various micro-ows through Differentiated Services (DiffServ). DiffServ policies are a useful tool for establishing general micro-ow denition and treatment characteristics that can be applied to each wireless client, both inbound and outbound, when it is authenticated on the network. From the VAP QoS Parameters page, you can enable the Client QoS feature, specify client bandwidth limits, and select the ACLs and DiffServ policies to use as default values for clients associated with the VAP when the client does not have their own attributes dened by a RADIUS server.To congure the Client QoS administrative mode and to congure the QoS settings for a VAP, click the VAP QoS Parameters tab.Figure 58 - Congure Client QoS VAP SettingsField DescriptionClient QoS Global Admin Mode Enable or disable Client QoS operation on the AP. Changing this setting will not affect the WMM settings you congure on the QoS page.Radio For dual-radio APs, select Radio 1 or Radio 2 to specify which radio to congure.VAP Specify the VAP that will have the Client QoS settings that you congure. The QoS settings you congure for the selected VAP will not affect clients that access the network through other VAPs.

QoS must be enabled globally (from the Client QoS Global Admin Mode eld) and on the VAP (QoS Mode eld) for the Client QoS settings to be applied to wireless clients.Bandwidth Limit Down Enter the maximum allowed transmission rate from the AP to the wireless client in bits per second. The valid range is 0 – 429496000 bits/sec.The value you enter must be a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, in other words, the value must be n × 8000 bits/sec, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3... If you attempt to set the limit to a value that is not a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, the conguration will be rejected. A value of 0 means that the bandwidth maximum limit is not enforced in this direction.Bandwidth Limit Up Enter the maximum allowed client transmission rate to the AP in bits per second. The valid range is 0 – 4294967295 bps.The value you enter must be n × 8000 bits/sec, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3... If you attempt to set the limit to a value that is not a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, the conguration will be rejected. A value of 0 means that the bandwidth maximum limit is not enforced in this direction.ACL Type Down Select the type of ACL to apply to trafc in the outbound (down) direction, which can be one of the following: •) IPv4: The ACL examines IPv4 packets for matches to ACL rules•) IPv6: The ACL examines IPv6 packets for matches to ACL rules•) MAC: The ACL examines layer 2 frames for matches to ACL rulesACL Name Down Select the name of the ACL applied to trafc in the outbound (down) direction. After switching the packet or frame to the outbound interface, the ACL’s rules are checked for a match. The packet or frame is transmitted if it is permitted, and discarded if it is denied.ACL Type Up Select the type of ACL to apply to trafc in the inbound (up) direction, which can be one of the following: •) IPv4: The ACL examines IPv4 packets for matches to ACL rules•) IPv6: The ACL examines IPv6 packets for matches to ACL rules•) MAC: The ACL examines layer 2 frames for matches to ACL rulesACL Name Up Select the name of the ACL applied to trafc entering the AP in the inbound (up) direction. When a packet or frame is received by the AP, the ACL’s rules are checked for a match. The packet or frame is processed if it is permitted, and discarded if it is denied.DiffServ Policy Down Select the name of the DiffServ policy applied to trafc from the AP in the outbound (down) direction.DiffServ Policy Up Select the name of the DiffServ policy applied to trafc sent to the AP in the inbound (up) direction.Table 52 - VAP QoS ParametersManaging Client QoS ACLsACLs are a collection of permit and deny conditions, called rules, that provide security by blocking unauthorized users and allowing authorized users to access specic resources. ACLs can block any unwarranted attempts to reach network resources. The UAP supports up to 50 IPv4, IPv6, and MAC ACLs.IPv4 and IPv6 ACLsIP ACLs classify trafc for Layers 3 and 4.Each ACL is a set of up to 10 rules applied to trafc sent from a wireless client or to be received by a wireless client. Each rule species whether the contents of a given eld should be used to permit or deny access to the network. Rules can be based on various criteria and may apply to one ore more elds within a packet, such as the source or destination IP address, the source or destination L4 port, or the protocol carried in the packet.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 90October 2013Section 8 - Conguring Client Quality of Service (QoS)MAC ACLsMAC ACLs are Layer 2 ACLs. You can congure the rules to inspect elds of a frame such as the source or destination MAC address, the VLAN ID, or the Class of Service 802.1p priority. When a frame enters or exits the AP port (depending on whether the ACL is applied in the up or down direction), the AP inspects the frame and checks the ACL rules against the content of the frame. If any of the rules match the content, a permit or deny action is taken on the frame. ACL Conguration ProcessCongure ACLs and rules on the Client QoS ACL page (steps 1–5), and then apply the rules to a specied VAP on the AP QoS Parameters page (step 6). Use the following general steps to congure ACLs:1.) Specify a name for the ACL.2.) Select the type of ACL to add.3.) Add the ACL.4.) Add new rules to the ACL.5.) Congure the match criteria for the rules.6.) Apply the ACL to one or more VAPs.For an example of how to congure an ACL, see “ACL Conguration Process” on page 90.To congure an ACL, click the Client QoS ACL tab.The elds to congure ACL rules appear only after you have created an ACL. The following image shows the conguration of a new rule for the IPv4 ACL named acl1. The rule prevents HTTP trafc from all clients in the 192.168.20.0 network from being forwarded.Figure 59 - Congure Client QoS ACL SettingsThe following table describes the elds available on the Client QoS ACL page.Field DescriptionACL CongurationACL Name Enter a name to identify the ACL.

The list contains all ACLs added in the ACL Conguration section.Rule To congure a new rule to add to the selected ACL, select New Rule. To add an existing rule to an ACL or to modify a rule, select the rule number. When an ACL has multiple rules, the rules are applied to the packet or frame in the order in which you add them to the ACL. There is an implicit deny all rule as the nal rule.Action Species whether the ACL rule permits or denies an action. •) When you select Permit, the rule allows all trafc that meets the rule criteria to enter or exit the AP (depending on the ACL direction you select). Trafc that does not meet the criteria is dropped.•) When you select Deny, the rule blocks all trafc that meets the rule criteria from entering or exiting the AP (depending on the ACL direction you select). Trafc that does not meet the criteria is forwarded unless this rule is the nal rule. Because there is an implicit deny all rule at the end of every ACL, trafc that is not explicitly permitted is dropped.Match Every Indicates that the rule, which either has a permit or deny action, will match the frame or packet regardless of its contents. If you select this eld, you cannot congure any additional match criteria. The Match Every option is selected by default for a new rule. You must clear the option to congure other match elds.IPv4 ACLProtocol Select the Protocol eld to use an L3 or L4 protocol match condition based on the value of the IP Protocol eld in IPv4 packets or the Next Header eld of IPv6 packets.Once you select the eld, choose the protocol to match by keyword or enter a protocol ID.Select From ListSelect one of the following protocols from the list: •) IP•) ICMP•) IGMP•) TCP•) UDPMatch to ValueTo match a protocol that is not listed by name, enter the protocol ID.

A wild card mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of 0.0.0.0 indicates that all of the bits are important. This eld is required when Source IP Address is checked.A wild card mask is, in essence, the inverse of a subnet mask. For example, To match the criteria to a single host address, use a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.0. To match the criteria to a 24-bit subnet (for example 192.168.10.0/24), use a wild card mask of 0.0.0.255.

Creating a DiffServ Class MapThe Client QoS feature contains Differentiated Services (DiffServ) support that allows trafc to be classied into streams and given certain QoS treatment in accordance with dened per-hop behaviours.Standard IP-based networks are designed to provide best effort data delivery service. Best effort service implies that the network delivers the data in a timely fashion, although there is no guarantee that it will. During times of congestion, packets may be delayed, sent sporadically, or dropped. For typical Internet applications, such as e-mail and le transfer, a slight degradation in service is acceptable and in many cases unnoticeable. However, on applications with strict timing requirements, such as voice or multimedia, any degradation of service has undesirable effects.By classifying the trafc and creating policies that dene how to handle these trafc classes, you can make sure that time-sensitive trafc is given precedence over other trafc.The UAP supports up to 50 Class Maps.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 96October 2013Section 8 - Conguring Client Quality of Service (QoS)Dening DiffServTo use DiffServ for Client QoS, use the Class Map and Policy Map pages to dene the following categories and their criteria:•) Class: create classes and dene class criteria •) Policy: create policies, associate classes with policies, and dene policy statements Once you dene the class and associate it with a policy, apply the policy to a specied VAP on the VAP QoS Parameters page.Packets are classied and processed based on dened criteria. The classication criteria is dened by a class. The processing is dened by a policy’s attributes. Policy attributes may be dened on a per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. A policy can contain multiple classes. When the policy is active, the actions taken depend on which class matches the packet.Packet processing begins by testing the class match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found. DiffServ is supported for IPv4 and IPv6 packets.Use the Class Map page to add a new Diffserv class name, or to rename or delete an existing class, and dene the criteria to associate with the DiffServ class.To congure a DiffServ Class Map, click the Class Map tab.Note: The Class Map page displays the Match Criteria Conguration elds only if a Class Map has been created.

The classication criteria is dened by a class on the Class Map page. The processing is dened by a policy’s attributes on the Policy Map page. Policy attributes may be dened on a per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. A Policy Map can contain up to 10 Class Maps. When the policy is active, the actions taken depend on which class matches the packet.Packet processing begins by testing the class match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found.To create a DiffServ policy, click the Policy Map tab.Figure 61 - Congure Client QoS DiffServ Policy Map SettingsField DescriptionPolicy Map Name Enter then name of the policy map to add.

When a client successfully authenticates, the RADIUS server can include bandwidth limits and identify the ACLs and DiffServ policies to apply to the specic wireless client. ACLs and DiffServ policies referenced in the RADIUS client database must match the names of the ACLs and DiffServ policies congured on the AP to be successfully applied to the wireless clients.The following table describes the QoS attributes that can be included in the client’s RADIUS server entry. If a wireless client successfully authenticates using WPA Enterprise, each QoS RADIUS attribute that exists for the client is sent to the AP for processing. The attributes are optional and do not need to be present in the client entry. If the attribute is not present, the Client QoS setting on the AP is used.RADIUS Attribute ID Description Type/RangeVendor-Specic (26), WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down14122,8 Maximum allowed client reception rate from the AP in bits per second.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 104October 2013Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsSection 9 - Clustering Multiple APsThe UAP supports AP clusters. A cluster provides a single point of administration and lets you view, deploy, congure, and secure the wireless network as a single entity rather than a series of separate wireless devices. Managing Cluster Access Points in the ClusterThe AP cluster is a dynamic, conguration-aware group of APs in the same subnet of a network. Each cluster can have up to 8 members. Only one cluster per wireless network is supported; however, a network subnet can have multiple clusters. Clusters can share various conguration information, such as VAP settings and QoS queue parameters.A cluster can be formed between two APs if the following conditions are met:•) The APs are identical models.•) The APs are connected on the same bridged segment.•) The APs joining the cluster have the same Cluster Name.•) Clustering mode is enabled on both APs.Note: For two APs to be in the same cluster, they do not need to have the same number of radios; however, the supported capabilities of the radios should be same.Clustering APsOnly identical models may be clustered together. For example, the DWL-2600AP can only form a cluster with other DWL-2600APs.Viewing and Conguring Cluster MembersThe Access Points page allows you to start or stop clustering on an AP, view the cluster members, and congure the location and cluster name for a cluster member. From the Access Points page, you can also click the IP address of each cluster member to navigate to conguration settings and data on an access point in the cluster. To view information about cluster members and to congure the location and cluster of an individual member, click the Access Points tab.The following gure shows the Cluster > Access Points page when clustering is not enabled.Figure 63 - Manage Access Points In The Cluster (Passive)The following gure shows the Cluster > Access Points page when clustering is enabled and two access points are in the cluster.

If clustering is enabled, the Stop Clustering button is visible. You can edit the clustering option information when clustering is disabled.The following table describes the conguration and status information available on the cluster Access Points page.Field DescriptionStatus If the status eld is visible, then the AP is enabled for clustering. If clustering is not enabled, then the AP is operating in stand-alone mode and none of the information in this table is visible. To disable clustering on the AP, click Stop Clustering.Location Description of where the access point is physically located.MAC Address Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point.The address shown here is the MAC address for the bridge (br0). This is the address by which the AP is known externally to other networks.IP Address Species the IP address for the access point. Each IP address is a link to the Administration Web pages for that access point. You can use the links to navigate to the Administration Web pages for a specic access point. This is useful for viewing data on a specic access point to make sure a cluster member is picking up cluster conguration changes, to congure advanced settings on a particular access point, or to switch a standalone access point to cluster mode.Table 58 - Access Points in the ClusterThe following table describes the cluster information to congure for an individual member. The clustering options are read-only when clustering is enabled. To congure the clustering options, you must stop clustering.Field DescriptionLocation Enter a description of where the access point is physically located.Cluster Name Enter the name of the cluster for the AP to join.The cluster name is not sent to other APs in the cluster. You must congure the same cluster name on each AP that is a member of the cluster. The cluster name must be unique for each cluster you congure on the network.Clustering IP Version Specify the IP version that the APs in the cluster use to communicate with each other.Table 59 - Cluster Options

Go to the Administration Web pages for the standalone access point.2.) Click the Cluster > Access Points link in the Administration pages for the stand-alone access point.The Access Points page for a standalone access point indicates that the current mode is standalone.3.) Type the name or location of the AP in the Location eld to identify the AP within the cluster.4.) Type the name of the cluster for the AP to join in the Cluster Name eld.5.) Click Start Clustering.6.) The access point is now a cluster member. Its Status (Mode) on the Cluster > Access Points page now indicates Cluster instead of Not Clustered.Navigating to Conguration Information for a Specic APIn general, the UAP is designed for central management of clustered access points. For access points in a cluster, all access points in the cluster reect the same conguration. In this case, it does not matter which access point you actually connect to for administration.There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information on a particular access point. For example, you might want to check status information such as client associations or events for an access point. In this case, you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for individual access points by clicking the IP address links on the Access Points page.All clustered access points are shown on the Cluster > Access Points page. To navigate to clustered access points, you can simply click on the IP address for a specic cluster member shown in the list.Navigating to an AP by Using its IP Address in a URLYou can also link to the Administration Web pages of a specic access point, by entering the IP address for that access point as a URL directly into a Web browser address bar in the following form:http://IPAddressOfAccessPointwhere IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access point you want to monitor or congure.Managing Cluster SessionsThe Sessions page shows information about client stations associated with access points in the cluster. Each client is identied by its MAC address, along with the AP (location) to which it is currently connected.To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Display drop-down list and click Go. You can view information about idle time, data rate, signal strength and so on; all of which are described in detail in the table below.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 107October 2013Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsA session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device (station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection for some other reason.Note: A session is not the same as an association, which describes a client connection to a particular access point. A client network connection can shift from one clustered AP to another within the context of the same session. A client station can roam between APs and maintain the session.To manage sessions associated with the cluster, click Cluster > Sessions.Figure 65 - Manage Sessions Associated With The ClusterDetails about the session information shown is described in the following table.Field DescriptionAP Location Indicates the location of the access point.This is derived from the location description specied on the Basic Settings page.User MAC Indicates the MAC address of the wireless client device.A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identies each node of a network.Idle Indicates the amount of time this station has remained inactive.A station is considered to be idle when it is not receiving or transmitting data.Rate The speed at which this access point is transferring data to the specied client.The data transmission rate is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).This value should fall within the range of the advertised rate set for the mode in use on the access point. For example, 6 to 54 Mbps for 802.11a.Signal Indicates the strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client receives from the access point.The measure used for this is a value known as Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and will be a value between 0 and 100.RSSI is determined by a mechanism implemented on the network interface card (NIC) of the client station.Rx Total Indicates number of total packets received by the client during the current session.Tx Total Indicates number of total packets transmitted to the client during this session.Error Rate Indicates the percentage of time frames are dropped during transmission on this access point.Table 60 - Session ManagementSorting Session InformationTo sort the information shown in the tables by a particular indicator, click the column label by which you want to order things. For example, if you want to see the table rows ordered by signal strength, click the Signal column label. The entries will be sorted by signal strength.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 108October 2013Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsConguring and Viewing Channel Management SettingsWhen Channel Management is enabled, the UAP automatically assigns radio channels used by clustered access points. The automatic channel assignment reduces mutual interference (or interference with other access points outside of its cluster) and maximizes Wi-Fi bandwidth to help maintain the efciency of communication over the wireless network.You must start channel management to get automatic channel assignments; it is disabled by default on a new AP.At a specied interval, the Channel Manager maps APs to channel use and measures interference levels in the cluster. If signicant channel interference is detected, the Channel Manager automatically re-assigns some or all of the APs to new channels per an efciency algorithm (or automated channel plan). If the Channel Manager determines that a change is necessary, that information is sent to all members of the cluster and a syslog message is generated indicating the sender AP, new and old channel assignments.The Channel Management page shows previous, current, and planned channel assignments for clustered access points. By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled. You can start channel management to optimize channel usage across the cluster on a scheduled interval.To congure and view the channel assignments for the cluster members, click the Channel Management tab.Figure 66 - Automatically Manage Channel AssignmentsFrom this page, you can view channel assignments for all APs in the cluster and stop or start automatic channel management. By using the Advanced settings on the page, you can modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-congure the channel set used for assignments.Stopping/Starting Automatic Channel AssignmentBy default, automatic channel assignment is disabled (off).Note: Channel Management overrides the default cluster behavior, which is to synchronize radio channels of all APs across a cluster. When Channel Management is enabled, the radio Channel is not synced across the cluster to other APs. •) Click Start to resume automatic channel assignment.When automatic channel assignment is enabled, the Channel Manager periodically maps radio channels used by clustered access points and, if necessary, re-assigns channels on clustered APs to reduce interference (with cluster members or other APs outside the cluster).•) Click Stop to stop automatic channel assignment. (No channel usage maps or channel re-assignments will be made. Only manual updates will affect the channel assignment.)

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 109October 2013Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsViewing Current Channel Assignments and Setting LocksThe Current Channel Assignments section shows a list of all access points in the cluster by IP Address. The display shows the band on which each AP is broadcasting (a/b/g/n), the current channel used by each AP, and an option to lock an AP on its current radio channel so that it cannot be re-assigned to another. The following table provides details about Current Channel Assignments.Field DescriptionIP Address Species the IP Address for the access point.Radio Identies the MAC address of the radio.Band Indicates the band on which the access point is broadcasting.Current Indicates the radio Channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting.Status Shows whether the radio is up (on) or down (off).Locked Click Locked to force the access point to remain on the current channel.When Locked is selected (enabled) for an access point, automated channel management plans will not re-assign the AP to a different channel as a part of the optimization strategy. Instead, APs with locked channels will be factored in as requirements for the plan.If you click Apply, you will see that locked APs show the same channel for the Current Channel and Proposed Channel elds. Locked APs will keep their current channels.Table 61 - Channel AssignmentsViewing the Last Proposed Set of ChangesThe Proposed Channel Assignments shows the last channel plan. The plan lists all access points in the cluster by IP Address, and shows the current and proposed channels for each AP. Locked channels will not be re-assigned and the optimization of channel distribution among APs will take into account the fact that locked APs must remain on their current channels. APs that are not locked may be assigned to different channels than they were previously using, depending on the results of the plan.Field DescriptionIP Address Species the IP Address for the access point.Radio Indicates the radio channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting.Proposed Channel Indicates the radio channel to which this access point would be re-assigned if the Channel Plan is executed.Table 62 - Last Proposed ChangesConguring Advanced SettingsThe advanced settings allow you to customize and schedule the channel plan for the cluster. If you use Channel Management as provided (without updating Advanced Settings), channels are automatically ne-tuned once every hour if interference can be reduced by 25 percent or more. Channels will be re-assigned even if the network is busy. The appropriate channel sets will be used (b/g for APs using IEEE 802.11b/g and a for APs using IEEE 802.11a).The default settings are designed to satisfy most scenarios where you would need to implement channel management.Use Advanced Settings to modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-congure the channel set used for assignments. If there are no elds showing in the Advanced section, click the toggle button to display the settings that modify timing and details of the channel planning algorithm.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 110October 2013Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APsField DescriptionChange channels if interference is reduced by at leastSpecify the minimum percentage of interference reduction a proposed plan must achieve in order to be applied. The default is 75 percent.Use the drop-down menu to choose percentages ranging from 5 percent to 75 percent.This setting lets you set a gating factor for channel re-assignment so that the network is not continually disrupted for minimal gains in efciency.For example, if channel interference must be reduced by 75 percent and the proposed channel assignments will only reduce interference by 30 percent, then channels will not be re-assigned. However; if you re-set the minimal channel interference benet to 25 percent and click Apply, the proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels re-assigned as needed.Determine if there is better set of channels everyUse the drop-down menu to specify the schedule for automated updates.A range of intervals is provided, from 30 Minutes to 6 MonthsThe default is 1 Hour (channel usage re-assessed and the resulting channel plan applied every hour).Table 63 - Advanced Channel Management SettingsClick Apply under Advanced settings to apply these settings.Advanced settings will take effect when they are applied and inuence how automatic channel management is performed. Viewing Wireless Neighborhood InformationThe Wireless Neighborhood shows up to 20 access points per radio within range of every member of the cluster, shows which access points are within range of which cluster members, and distinguishes between cluster members and non-members.Note: The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 access points per radio. To see all the access points detected on a given cluster access point, navigate to that cluster member’s web interface and go to the Status > Neighboring Access Points page.For each neighbor access point, the Wireless Neighborhood view shows identifying information (SSID or Network Name, IP Address, MAC address) along with radio statistics (signal strength, channel, beacon interval). You can click on an AP to get additional statistics about the APs in radio range of the currently selected AP. The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:•) Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) access points in a wireless domain so that you can take action to limit associated risks•) Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which APs are visible at what signal strength from other APs, you can verify that the deployment meets your planning goals.•) Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a glance in the color coded table.

Unied Access Point Administrator’s GuideUnied Access Point Administrator’s GuidePage 121October 2013Appendix B - Conguration ExamplesConguring Client QoS This example shows how to enable client QoS, congure an ACL and a DiffServ policy on the AP, and to apply the ACL and the Policy to trafc transmitted from clients associated with VAP 2 and received by the AP.The IPv4 ACL is named acl1 and contains two rules. The rst rule allows HTTP trafc from the 192.168.1.0 subnet. The second rule allows all IP trafc from the management station (192.168.1.23). All other trafc is denied due to the implicit deny all rule at the end of the ACL. The ACL is applied to the inbound interface on the AP so that packets are checked when the AP receives trafc from associated clients.The DiffServ policy in this example shows how to establish default DiffServ behavior for clients associating with the VAP that do not obtain a DiffServ policy name through the RADIUS server. Voice trafc (UDP packets) received from clients in the 192.168.1.0 subnet that has the VoIP server as its destination address (192.168.2.200), is marked with the IP DSCP value for expedited forwarding so that it takes priority over other trafc.Conguring QoS by Using the Web InterfaceACL Conguration1.)
