Release Notes

Parameter Description
Maximum Transmit Failures
Display the maximum number of transmission failures
allowed before the client gives up.
BC/MC Rate Optimization
Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled scanning of all active
stations currently associated to that AP to select the lowest
transmission rate for broadcast and multicast frames. This
option only applies to broadcast and multicast data frames;
802.11 management frames are transmitted at the lowest
configured rate.
High throughput enable (SSID)
Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled the use of its high-
throughput SSID in 40 MHz mode.
40 MHz channel usage
Determines if this high-throughput SSID allows high-
throughput (802.11n) stations to associate.
MPDU Aggregation
Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled MAC protocol data
unit (MDPU) aggregation.
Max transmitted A-MPDU size
Shows the maximum size, in bytes, of an A-MPDU that can be
sent on the AP’s high-throughput SSID.
Max received A-MPDU size
Shows the maximum size, in bytes, of an Aggregated-MAC
Packet Data Unit (A-MPDU) that can be received on the AP’s
high-throughput SSID.
Min MPDU start spacing
Displays the minimum time between the start of adjacent
MDPUs within an aggregate MDPU, in microseconds.
Supported MCS set
Comma-separated list of Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS)
values or ranges of values to be supported on this high-
throughput SSID.
Short guard interval in 40 MHz mode
Shows if the AP has enabled or disabled use of short guard
interval in 40 MHz mode of operation.
VLAN
VLAN ID used by the SSID.
Forward mode
Shows the current forward mode (bridge, split-tunnel, or
tunnel) for the virtual AP.
This parameter controls whether 802.11 frames are tunneled
to the controller using generic routing encapsulation (GRE),
bridged into the local Ethernet LAN (for remote APs), or a
combination thereof depending on the destination (corporate
traffic goes to the controller, and Internet access remains
local).
Only 802.1X authentication is supported when configuring
bridge or split tunnel mode.
Band Steering
Shows if band-steering has been enabled or disabled for a
virtual AP.
ARM’s band steering feature encourages dual-band capable
clients to stay on the 5GHz band on dual-band APs. This frees
up resources on the 2.4GHz band for single band clients like
VoIP phones.
