246 Configuring APs
NN47250-500 (320657-F Version 02.01)
An AP radio responds to an 802.11 probe any request only for a beaconed SSID. A client that sends a probe
any request receives a separate response for each of the beaconed SSIDs supported by a radio. For a nonbea-
coned SSID, radios respond only to directed 802.11 probe requests that match the nonbeaconed SSID’s SSID
string.
When you disable beaconing for an SSID, the radio still sends beacon frames, but the SSID name in the frames
is blank.
Changing the fallthru authentication type
By default, WSS Software denies access to users who do not match an 802.1X or MAC authentication rule,
and therefore fall through these authentication types. You can change the fallthru method to last-resort or
web-portal.
To change the fallthru method, use the following command:
set service-profile name auth-fallthru {last-resort | none | web-portal}
(For more information about network user authentication, see “Configuring AAA for network users”
(page 467).)
Changing transmit rates
Each type of radio (802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g) that provides service to an SSID has a set of rates the radio
is allowed to use for sending beacons, multicast frames, and unicast data. The rate set also specifies the rates
clients must support in order to associate with a radio. Table 11 lists the rate settings and their defaults.
