NOTE

A WLAN configured to support Mesh should not have a Kerberos or 802.1x EAP security policy

defined for it, as these two authentication schemes are not supported within a Mesh network.

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 jump to 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 on page 5-143

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) on page 5-144.

Kerberos User Name Displays the read-only Kerboros User Name used to associate the wireless client. This value

is the ESSID of the access point.

Kerberos Password Enter a Kerberos password if

Kerberos has been selected as the security scheme from

within the

Security Policies field. The field is grayed out if Kerberos has not been

selected for the WLAN. For information on configuring Kerberos, see Configuring Kerberos

Authentication on page 6-194.

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 Mobility 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 Configuring MU Rate Limiting on page 5-176.

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 Setting the WLAN Quality of Service (QoS) Policy on page 5-147.
