This is not supported in 320 Series AP.

Click this check box to enable the AP to advertise the QBSS load element. The element includes the following parameters that provide information on the traffic situation:

Station count: The total number of stations associated to the QBSS.

Channel utilization: The percentage of time (normalized to 255) the channel is sensed to be busy. The access point uses either the physical or the virtual carrier sense mechanism to sense a busy channel.

Available admission capacity: The remaining amount of medium time (measured as number of 32us/s) available for a station via explicit admission control.

The QAP uses these parameters to decide whether to accept an admission control request. A wireless station uses these parameters to choose the appropriate access points.

NOTE: Ensure that WMM Wi-Fi Multimedia. WMM is also known as WME. It refers to a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification, based on the IEEE 802.11e standard. It provides basic QoS features to IEEE 802.11 networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four ACs: voice (AC_VO), video (AC_VI), best effort (AC_BE), and background (AC_BK). is enabled for legacy APs to advertise the QBSS load element. For 802.11n 802.11n is a wireless networking standard to improve network throughput over the two previous standards, 802.11a and 802.11g. With 802.11n, there will be a significant increase in the maximum raw data rate from 54 Mbps to 600 Mbps with the use of four spatial streams at a channel width of 40 MHz. APs, ensure that either WMM Wi-Fi Multimedia. WMM is also known as WME. It refers to a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification, based on the IEEE 802.11e standard. It provides basic QoS features to IEEE 802.11 networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four ACs: voice (AC_VO), video (AC_VI), best effort (AC_BE), and background (AC_BK). or high throughput is enabled.

When this option is enabled, APs broadcast their location within an IE carried in Beacon frames and Probe Response frames. The AP’s latitude, longitude and altitude can be configured on the Configuration > Wireless> AP Installation page of the managed device WebUI, or using the provision-ap command in the managed device command-line interface.

If this parameter is enabled, APs will broadcast the AP name configured by the ap-name command.

Default: Disabled

Select this option to restrict data traffic from open stations to the VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN. assigned to the user. This option is disabled by default.

OKC Opportunistic Key Caching. OKC is a technique available for authentication between multiple APs in a network where those APs are under common administrative control. Using OKC, a station roaming to any AP in the network will not have to complete a full authentication exchange, but will instead just perform the 4-way handshake to establish transient encryption keys. is a similar technique, not defined by 802.11i 802.11i provides improved encryption for networks that use 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards. It requires new encryption key protocols, known as Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)., available for authentication between multiple APs in a network where those APs are under common administrative control. An Aruba deployment with multiple APs under the control of a single managed device is one such example. Using OKC Opportunistic Key Caching.
