Parameter Allowed band Band Steering Steering Mode Description When an AP is configured to use the decrypttunnel forwarding mode, that AP decrypts and decapsulates all 802.11 frames from a client and sends the 802.3 frames through the GRE tunnel to to the controller, which then applies firewall policies to the user traffic. When the controller sends traffic to a client, the controller sends 802.3 traffic through the GRE tunnel to the AP, which then converts it to encrypted 802.11 and forwards to the client. The band(s) on which to use the virtual AP: l a-802.11a band only (5 GHz) l g-802.11b/g band only (2.4 GHz) l all-both 802.11a and 802.11b/g bands (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz) If enabled, ARM's band steering feature encourages dual-band capable clients to stay on the 5GHz band on dual-band APs. This frees up resources on the 2.4GHz band for single band clients like VoIP phones. Band steering supports three different band steering modes. l Force-5GHz: When the AP is configured in force-5GHz band steering mode, the AP will try to force 5Ghz-capable APs to use that radio band. l Prefer-5GHz (Default): If you configure the AP to use prefer-5GHz band steering mode, the AP will try to steer the client to 5G band (if the client is 5G capable) but will let the client connect on the 2.4G band if the client persists in 2.4G association attempts. l Balance-bands: In this band steering mode, the AP tries to balance the clients across the two radios in order to best utilize the available 2.4G bandwidth. This feature takes into account the fact that the 5Ghz band has more channels than the 2.4 Ghz band, and that the 5Ghz channels operate in 40MHz while the 2.5Ghz band operates in 20MHz. NOTE: Steering modes do not take effect until the band steering feature has been enabled. The band steering feature in ArubaOS versions 3.3.2-5.0 does not support multiple band-steering modes. The band-steering feature in these versions of ArubaOS functions the same way as the default prefer-5GHz steering mode available in ArubaOS 6.0 and later.

Parameter

Description

When an AP is configured to use the decrypt-

tunnel forwarding mode, that AP decrypts and

decapsulates all 802.11 frames from a client and

sends the 802.3 frames through the GRE tunnel to

to the controller, which then applies firewall

policies to the user traffic. When the controller

sends traffic to a client, the controller sends 802.3

traffic through the GRE tunnel to the AP, which

then converts it to encrypted 802.11 and forwards

to the client.

Allowed band

The band(s) on which to use the virtual AP:

—802.11a band only (5 GHz)

—802.11b/g band only (2.4 GHz)

all

—both 802.11a and 802.11b/g bands (5 GHz

and 2.4 GHz)

Band Steering

If enabled, ARM’s band steering feature

encourages dual-band capable clients to stay on

the 5GHz band on dual-band APs. This frees up

resources on the 2.4GHz band for single band

clients like VoIP phones.

Steering Mode

Band steering supports three different band steering

modes.

Force-5GHz

: When the AP is configured in

force-5GHz

band steering mode, the AP will try

to force 5Ghz-capable APs to use that radio

band.

Prefer-5GHz

(Default): If you configure the AP

to use

prefer-5GHz

band steering mode, the

AP will try to steer the client to 5G band (if the

client is 5G capable) but will let the client

connect on the 2.4G band if the client persists

in 2.4G association attempts.

Balance-bands

: In this band steering mode,

the AP tries to balance the clients across the

two radios in order to best utilize the available

2.4G bandwidth. This feature takes into account

the fact that the 5Ghz band has more channels

than the 2.4 Ghz band, and that the 5Ghz

channels operate in 40MHz while the 2.5Ghz

band operates in 20MHz.

NOTE:

Steering modes do not take effect until the

band steering feature has been enabled. The band

steering feature in ArubaOS versions 3.3.2-5.0

does not support multiple band-steering modes.

The band-steering feature in these versions of

ArubaOS functions the same way as the default

prefer-5GHz

steering mode available in ArubaOS

6.0 and later.
