To configure the RTS/CTS threshold: (Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "")# rts-threshold (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "")# end (Instant AP)# commit apply To disable RTS/CTS, set the RTS threshold value to 0. Management Frame Protection Instant supports the IEEE 802.11w standard, also known as Management Frame Protection (MFP). MFP increases the security by providing data confidentiality of management frames. MFP uses 802.11i (Robust Security Network) framework that establishes encryption keys between the client and W-IAP. To enable MFP on the W-IAP: (Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile myAP (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "myAP")# mfp-capable (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "myAP")# mfp-required (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "myAP")# end (Instant AP)# commit apply If the mfp-required parameter is enabled, the SSID supports only the clients that exhibt the MFP functionality. If the mfp-capable parameter enabled, the SSID supports management frame protection (MFP) capable clients and non-MFP clients. The MFP configuration is a per-SSID configuration. Disabling Short Preamble for Wireless Client To improve the network performance and communication between the W-IAP and its clients, you can enable or disable the transmission and reception of short preamble frames. If the short preamble is optional for the wireless devices connecting to an SSID, you can disable short preamble through the W-IAP CLI. Short preamble is enabled by default. To disable the short preamble: (Instant AP)# config terminal (Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "")# short-preamble-disable (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "")# end (Instant AP)# commit apply Editing Status of a WLAN SSID Profile You can enable or disable an SSID profile in the Instant UI or the CLI. In the Instant UI To modify the status of a WLAN SSID profile: 1. On the Network tab, select the network that you want to edit. The edit link is displayed. 2. Click the edit link. The Edit network window is displayed. 3. Select or clear the Disable SSID check box to disable or enable the SSID. The SSID is enabled by default. 4. Click Next (or the tab name) to move to the next tab. 5. Click Finish to save the modifications. 102 | Wireless Network Profiles Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
