Working with VSCs
VSC configuration options
4-11
Once a client is associated at 5 GHz, the AP will not respond to any 2.4 GHz probes from
the client as long as the client’s signal strength at 5 GHz is greater than -80 dBm (decibel
milliwatt). If the client’s signal strength falls below -80 dBm, then the AP will respond to
2.4 GHz probes from the client without delay.
Note To support band steering, one radio must be configured for 2.4 GHz operation and the
other for 5 GHz operation.
Band steering is temporarily suspended when the radio configured for 5 GHz operation
reaches its maximum number of supported clients.
Wireless clients
Max clients/Max clients per radio
Specify the maximum number of wireless client stations that can be associated with this
SSID at the same time. On dual radio products the limit applies separately on each radio.
Allow traffic between wireless clients
Use this option to control how users that are connected to the same VSC can communicate
with each other. The following settings are available:
No: Blocks all user-to-user communication.
802.1X: Only authenticated 802.1X users can communicate.
All: All authenticated and unauthenticated users can communicate. Default setting.
IPV6: Only authenticated users using IP version 6 can communicate.
Configuring communication between different VSCs
Communication between users connected to different VSCs can only occur if the same
VLANs are assigned in the VSC egress mapping option for both VSCs.
For example, to support traffic between authenticated users on two different VSCs, the
Authenticated option under VSC egress mapping must be set to the same VLAN on both
VSCs.
In addition, the following rules govern how traffic is exchanged:
Unicast traffic exchanged between VSCs on the same radio is controlled by the setting of
the receiver’s VSC.
Unicast traffic exchanged between VSCs on different radios is controlled by the setting
of the sender’s VSC.
Multicast traffic exchanged between VSCs is always controlled by the setting of the
sender’s VSC.
