5. Configure the Advanced field as required to set MU interoperability permissions, secure
beacon transmissions, broadcast ESSID acceptance and Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
Security Policy
Use the scroll down Security Policies menu to select the security
scheme best suited for the new or revised WLAN. Click the Create
button to launch the New Security Policy screen where a new
policy can be created to suit the needs of the WLAN. For more
information, see
“Configuring WLAN security policies”
MU Access Control
Select an ACL policy suiting the WLAN‘s MU introperability
requirements from the drop-down menu. If the existing ACL
policies do not satisfy the requirements of the WLAN, a new ACL
policy can be created by pressing the Create button. For more
information, see
“Configuring a WLAN Access Control List (ACL)”
Disallow MU to MU
Communication
The MU-MU Disallow feature prohibits MUs from communicating
with each other even if they are on different WLANs, assuming one
of the WLAN’s is configured to disallow MU-MU communication.
Therefore, if an MU’s WLAN is configured for MU-MU disallow, it
will not be able to communicate with any other MUs connected to
this access point.
Use Secure Beacon
Select the Use Secure Beacon checkbox to not transmit the
access point’s ESSID. If a hacker tries to find an ESSID via an MU,
the ESSID does not display since the ESSID is not in the beacon.
Brocade recommends keeping the option enabled to reduce the
likelihood of hacking into the WLAN.
Accept Broadcast
ESSID
Select the Accept Broadcast ESSID checkbox to associate an MU
that has a blank ESSID (regardless of which ESSID the access
point is currently using). Sites with heightened security
requirements may want to leave the checkbox unselected and
configure each MU with an ESSID. The default is selected.
enable Rate Limiting
Select this checkbox to set MU rate limiting values for this WLAN in
both the upstream and downstream direction. Once selected, two
fields display enabling you to set MU radio bandwidth for each
associated MU in both the wired-to-wireless and wireless-to-wired
directions. Set an allocation between 100 and 300,000 kbps. The
default value is 1000 kbps. For more information, see
Quality of Service Policy
If QoS policies are undefined (none), select the Create button to
launch the New QoS Policy screen. Use this screen to create a QoS
policy, wherein data traffic for the new or revised WLAN can be
prioritized to best suit the MU transmissions within that WLAN. For
more information, see
