Multi Band Operation (MBO)
The MBO feature enables the WLAN Wireless Local Area Network. WLAN is a 802.11 standards-based LAN that the users access through a wireless connection. network to utilize the available spectrum efficiently, and helps in optimizing the connectivity experience for end-users. MBO, also known as Agile Multiband is a pre-requisite for 802.11ax certification, therefore any AP or STA that supports 802.11ax has the MBO capabilities.
MBO allows the APs and STAs exchange information and facilitates efficient use of multiple frequency bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. or channels that are available in the APs and the STAs.
MBO is supported only on 802.11ax access points.

A business traveler, for example, with a laptop equipped for Wi-Fi can look up a local hotspot, contact it, and get connected through its network to reach the Internet. profile if not enabled.
MBO on Instant APs can only be configured using the CLI Command-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions.. Use the command under to enable MBO.

Configuring 802.11k Profile
The 802.11k 802.11k is an IEEE standard that enables APs and client devices to discover the best available radio resources for seamless BSS transition in a WLAN. protocol provides mechanisms for APs and clients to dynamically measure the available radio resources. In an 802.11k 802.11k is an IEEE standard that enables APs and client devices to discover the best available radio resources for seamless BSS transition in a WLAN. enabled network, APs and clients can send neighbor reports, beacon reports, and link measurement reports to each other. This allows the APs and clients to take appropriate connection actions.
The configures attributes for information exchange between the peers. A default -profile will be used for MBO if no is configured. A dot11k profile can be configured using the command. The configured should be attached to the respective using the parameter. For information on configuring dot11k-profile, see command in the Aruba Instant 8.x CLI Reference Guide.
The wide channel bandwidth information element is included in the neighbor report responses by default, when the dot11k setting is enabled on the Instant AP as part of the dot11k-profile configuration. The disable-nb-resp_wide-band-ie parameter in the dot11k-profile command can be used to disable the setting when dot11k is enabled and stop the wide channel bandwidth information element from being included in the neighbor report responses.
Radio Resource Management Information Elements
Aruba Instant supports the following radio resource management (RRM) information elements for APs with 802.11k 802.11k is an IEEE standard that enables APs and client devices to discover the best available radio resources for seamless BSS transition in a WLAN. support enabled. These settings can be enabled the CLI Command-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions.. The rrm-ie-profile configured should be attached to the command using the command.
By default the and parameters are enabled in the rrm-ie-profile. To disable these parameters use the command. For information on configuring rrm-ie-profile, see rrm-ie-profile command in the Aruba Instant 8.x CLI Reference Guide.
Beacon Report Requests
The beacon report requests are sent only to 802.11k 802.11k is an IEEE standard that enables APs and client devices to discover the best available radio resources for seamless BSS transition in a WLAN.-compliant clients that advertise Beacon Report Capability in their RRM Enabled Capabilities IE. The beacon request frames are sent every 60 seconds. The content of the report requests can be defined in the Beacon Report Request profile using the CLI Command-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions.. The beacon report request profile configured should be attached to the dot11k-profile command using the command.
The beacon report request profile is configured using the command. To configure a bcn-rpt-req-profile, see bcn-rpt-req-profile command in the Aruba Instant 8.x CLI Reference Guide.
