Concept Guide

Parameter Description Range Default
Band steering can be
configured on both campus APs
and remote APs that have a
virtual AP profile set to tunnel,
decrypt-tunnel, split-tunnel or
bridge forwarding mode. Note,
however, that if a campus or
remote APs has virtual AP
profiles configured in bridge or
split-tunnel forwarding mode
but no virtual AP in tunnel
mode, those APs will gather
information about 5G-capable
clients independently and will
not exchange this information
with other APs that also have
bridge or split-tunnel virtual APs
only.
blacklist
Enables detection of denial of
service (DoS) attacks, such as
ping or SYN floods, that are not
spoofed deauth attacks.

blacklist-time
Number of seconds that a client
is quarantined from the
network after being blacklisted.

broadcast-filter
Filter out broadcast and
multicast traffic in the air.
l all
l arp
Do not enable the all option for
virtual APs configured in bridge
forwarding mode. This
configuration parameter is only
intended for use for virtual APs
in tunnel mode. In tunnel mode,
all packets travel to the
controller, so the controller is
able to drop all broadcast
traffic. When a virtual AP is
configured to use bridge
forwarding mode, most data
traffic stays local to the AP, and
the controller is not able to filter
out that broadcast traffic.
— For the
option all,
the default
value is
disabled.
For the
option arp,
the default
value is
enabled.
