Table 23: WLAS SSID Configuration Parameters for Guest Network Parameters Description Broadcast/Multicast Select any of the following values under Broadcast filtering: l All-When set to All, the W-IAP drops all broadcast and multicast frames except DHCP and ARP, IGMP group queries, and IPv6 neighbor discovery protocols. l ARP-When set to ARP, the W-IAP drops all broadcast and multicast frames except DHCP and ARP, IGMP group queries, and IPv6 neighbor discovery protocols and additionally converts ARP requests to unicast and send frames directly to the associated client. l Disabled- When set to Disabled, all broadcast and multicast traffic is forwarded to the wireless interfaces. DTIM interval The DTIM interval indicates the delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) period in beacons, which can be configured for every WLAN SSID profile. The DTIM interval determines how often the W-IAP should deliver the buffered broadcast and multicast frames to associated clients in the powersave mode. The default value is 1, which means the client checks for buffered data on the W-IAP at every beacon. You can also configure a higher DTIM value for power saving. Multicast transmission optimization Select Enabled if you want the W-IAP to select the optimal rate for sending broadcast and multicast frames based on the lowest of unicast rates across all associated clients. When this option is enabled, multicast traffic can be sent at up to 24 Mbps. The default rate for sending frames for 2.4 GHz is 1 Mbps and 5.0 GHz is 6 Mbps. This option is disabled by default. Dynamic multicast optimization Select Enabled to allow W-IAP to convert multicast streams into unicast streams over the wireless link. Enabling Dynamic Multicast Optimization (DMO) enhances the quality and reliability of streaming video, while preserving the bandwidth available to the non-video clients. DMO channel utilization threshold Specify a value to set a threshold for DMO channel utilization. With DMO, the W-IAP converts multicast streams into unicast streams as long as the channel utilization does not exceed this threshold. The default value is 90% and the maximum threshold value is 100%. When the threshold is reached or exceeds the maximum value, the W-IAP sends multicast traffic over the wireless link. NOTE: When you enable DMO on multicast SSID profiles, ensure that the DMO feature is enabled on all SSIDs configured in the same VLAN. Transmit Rates Specify the following parameters: l 2.4 GHz-If the 2.4 GHz band is configured on the W-IAP, specify the minimum and maximum transmission rate. The default value for minimum transmission rate is 1 Mbps and maximum transmission rate is 54 Mbps. l 5 GHz-If the 5 GHz band is configured on the W-IAP, specify the minimum and maximum transmission rate. The default value for minimum transmission rate is 6 Mbps and maximum transmission rate is 54 Mbps. Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.4.3.1-4.2.0.0 | User Guide Captive Portal for Guest Access | 129
