ProSAFE Wireless Controller Setting Description High Density Bandwidth (802.11ng and 802.11na/ac only) Select the bandwidth type: • Auto. Automatically handles both high-density bandwidth (that is, high throughput) and low-density bandwidth (that is, extended range) environments. Auto is the default setting. • High. Enables a high bandwidth setting for dense environments in which multiple clients in a relatively small space require high bandwidth. One example of such an environment is a classroom in which multiple students stream video on individual WiFi devices. • Low. Enables a low bandwidth setting for sparse environments in which multiple clients are spread out over a relatively large space and do not require high bandwidth. One example of such an environment is a large office floor with multiple workers who do not all access the Internet or intranet simultaneously. Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting Select the enable radio button to enable multicast and broadcast rate limiting, which can increase bandwidth and minimize interference. To configure the maximum packet rate, enter a packet rate in the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting Packet Count field. By default, the wireless controller uses the following maximum packets rates: • For the 2.4 Ghz radio, up to 63 packets per second. • For the 5 GHz radio, up to radio 300 packets per second. Select the disable radio button to disable multicast and broadcast rate limiting. Disabled is the default setting. ARP Suppression Select the enable radio button to enable Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) suppression. ARP suppression decreases the management traffic that the wireless controller must handle. ARP suppression is enabled by default and applies to the wired interface only. With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP addresses of all WiFi clients that are associated with an access point are known, the wireless controller handles ARP requests in the following ways: • A packet with a known IP address is forwarded to its destination. • A packet with an unknown IP address is dropped. With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP address of at least one WiFi client that is associated with an access point is not known, the wireless controller broadcasts (that is, floods) the ARP requests into the WiFi network. Select the disable radio button to disable ARP suppression. 9. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Configure WiFi and QoS Settings 192
