Support for 4 BSSIDs per Radio

The access point supports four BSSIDs per radio. Each BSSID has a corresponding MAC address.

The first MAC address corresponds to BSSID #1. The MAC addresses for the other three BSSIDs

(BSSIDs #2, #3, #4) are derived by adding 1, 2, 3, respectively, to the radio MAC address.

If the radio MAC address displayed on the Radio Settings screen is 00:23:68:72:20:DC, then the

BSSIDs for that radio will have the following MAC addresses:

For detailed information on strategically mapping BSSIDs to WLANs, see Configuring the

802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-167. For information on access point MAC address

assignments, see

MAC Address Assignment on page 1-29.

Quality of Service (QoS) Support

The Mobility 7131 Access Point QoS implementation provides applications running on different

wireless devices a variety of priority levels to transmit data to and from the access point Mobility

7131 Access Point. Equal data transmission priority is fine for data traffic from applications such as

Web browsers, file transfers or email, but is inadequate for multimedia applications.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video streaming and interactive gaming are highly sensitive to

latency increases and throughput reductions. These forms of higher priority data traffic can

significantly benefit from the Mobility 7131 Access Point QoS implementation.The WiFi Multimedia

QOS Extensions (WMM) implementation used by the Mobility 7131 Access Point shortens the time

between transmitting higher priority data traffic and is thus desirable for multimedia applications.

In addition, U-APSD (WMM Power Save) is also supported.

WMM defines four access categories—voice, video, best effort and background—to prioritize traffic

for enhanced multimedia support.

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

Industry Leading Data Security

The Mobility 7131 Access Point access point supports numerous encryption and authentication

techniques to protect the data transmitting on the WLAN.

The following authentication techniques are supported:

• Kerberos Authentication

• EAP Authentication

The following encryption techniques are supported Mobility 7131 Access Point:

• WEP Encryption
