Concept Guide

Parameter Description Range Default
dos-prevention
If enabled, APs ignore
deauthentication frames from
clients. This prevents a
successful deauth attack from
being carried out against the
AP. This does not affect third-
party APs.
— disabled
dot11k-profile
Name of an 802.11k profile to
be associated with this VAP.
— default
dynamic-mcast-optimization
Enable/Disable dynamic
multicast optimization. This
parameter can only be enabled
on a controller with a PEFNG
license.
— disabled
dynamic-mcast-
optimization-threshold
Maximum number of high-
throughput stations in a
multicast group beyond which
dynamic multicast optimization
stops.
2-255
stations
6 stations
fdb-update-on-assoc
This parameter enables
seamless failover for silent
clients, allowing them to re-
associate. If you select this
option, the controller will
generate a Layer 2 update on
behalf of client to update
forwarding tables in bridge
devices.
Default: Disabled
— disabled
forward-mode
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).
Select one of the following
forward modes:
l Tunnel: When an AP is in
tunnel forwarding mode, the
AP handles all 802.11
association requests and
responses. The AP sends all
802.11 data packets, action
frames and EAPOL frames
over a GRE tunnel to the
tunnel
