Rogue AP Enhancements

The access point can scan for rogues over all channels on both of the access point’s radio bands. The switching of

radio bands is based on a timer with no user intervention required.

For information on configuring the access point for Rogue AP support, see Configuring Rogue AP

Detection on page 6-234.

Radius Time-Based Authentication

An external server maintains a users and groups database used by the access point for access

permissions. Various kinds of access policies can be applied to each group. Individual groups can

be configured with their own time-based access policy. Each group’s policy has a user defined

interval defining the days and hours access is permitted. Authentication requests for users

belonging to the group are honored only during these defined hourly intervals.

For more information on defining access point access policies by group, see Defining User Access

Permissions by Group on page 6-248.

QBSS Support

Each access point radio can be configured to optionally allow the access point to communicate

channel usage data to associated devices and define the beacon interval used for channel

utilization transmissions. The QBSS load represents the percentage of time the channel is in use by

the access point and the access point’s station count. This information is very helpful in assessing

the access point’s overall load on a channel, its availability for additional device associations and

multi media traffic support.

For information on enabling QBSS and defining the channel utilization transmission interval, see

Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-167.

Triple Radio Support

The new Mobility 7131N model access points are available in single, dual and three radio

configurations. The third Mobility 7131N Access Point radio is never a WLAN radio. The third radio

is either disabled or set to sensor mode. A radio’s mode is called its RF function. By default, a

radio’s RF function is WLAN. A WLAN radio is a traditional access point radio that does not provide

WIPS support. When a radio’s RF function becomes WIPS, the radio takes on the role of what is

typically referred to as a sensor.

NOTE

Since the only radio function allowed for the third radio is WIPS, there is no radio 3 submenu in the

access point CLI.

For information on setting the configuration of a three radio model Mobility 7131N Access Point,

see Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-167.
