Drop-down menu that specifies the b/g multicast data rate. If enabled AP 3000s and 4102s in the group with firmware 3.1.20 or newer will passively scan for rogue access points at the specified interval for the specified amount of time. This rogue scan will not break users' association to the network. Specifies the time, in minutes, between rogue scans. Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, the AP listens to rogues before returning to normal operation. 8. To configure radio settings for Cisco VxWorks devices in the group, locate the Groups > VxWorks section and adjust these settings as required. Table 65 describes the settings and default values of this page. Table 65 Groups > VxWorks Proprietary Settings Fields and Default Values Setting Default Description Use Aironet Yes Extensions Lost Ethernet Action Repeater Mode Lost Ethernet 2 Timeout (1-1000 secs) Upgrade Radio Yes Firmware When AP Firmware Is Upgraded When enabled, this option allows Cisco devices to provide functionality not supported by 802.11 IEEE standards, including the following:  Load balancing-Allows the access point to direct Aironet clients to the optimum access point.  Message Integrity Check (MIC)-Protects against bit-flip attacks.  Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)-Key hashing algorithm that protects against IV attacks. Pull-down menu that specifies the action to take when the Lost Ethernet Timeout threshold is exceeded:  No Action-No action taken by the AP.  Repeater Mode-The AP converts to a repeater, disassociating all its clients while the backbone is unavailable. If the AP can communicate with another root AP on the same SSID, its clients will be able to re-associate and connect to the backbone. If the AP cannot communicate with another root AP, clients are not allowed to re-associate.  Disable Radio-The AP disassociates its clients and disables the radio until it can establish communication with the backbone.  Restrict SSID-The AP disassociates all clients and then allows clients to re-associate with current SSID. Specifies the time (in seconds) the AP waits prior to taking action when its backbone connectivity is down. Actions are defined in the Lost Ethernet Action field. If enabled, this setting mandates that the radio firmware be upgraded to a firmware version compatible with the current version of AP firmware. 9. To configure settings specific to the Proxim AP-600, AP-700, AP-2000, AP-4000; Avaya AP-3/4/5/6//7/8, and ProCurve 520WL, locate the appropriate section of Groups > Radio page and define the required fields.
