Setting
Value
Infra type
Controller based
Security
WPA2 or WPA3
Voice WLAN
5 GHz only
Encryption
AES
Note: Do not use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
Authentication: Server Based (Radius)
802.1X EAP-TLS/PEAP-MSCHAPv2
Authentication: Pre-Shared Key (PSK) Based
Enable both PSK and FT-PSK.
Note: Device automatically selects FT-PSK. PSK is necessary to support legacy/non-11r devices on same SSID.
Operational Data Rates
2.4 GHz:
  • G: 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 (disable all lower rates, including 11b-legacy)
  • N: MCS 0 -15
5 GHz:
  • A:12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 (disable all lower rates)
  • AN: MCS 0 - 15
  • AC: MCS 0 - 7, 8
  • AX: MCS 0 - 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Note: Adjust rate settings according to environmental characteristics. See  Recommended Environment to accomplish balanced AP minimum coverage.
Fast Roam Methods
If supported by infrastructure in priority order:
  • FT (802.11R)
  • OKC or PMK Cache. Do not enable both.
