. . A WLAN template is a collection of WLAN policies, Tunneling Policies and WxLAN policies. WLAN template is a powerful tool for creating and managing WLAN configurations at an organizational level. WLAN templates are used for configuring the SSIDs and to dictate which SSIDs get applied to which sites/site-groups or AP device profiles. Creating...

WLAN Configuration
These configuration knobs control enabling/disabling a WLAN on the access-points and other important configuration. Hidden SSID is supported – but not recommended. Access points will respond to probe requests. Radio Band – control on which band this SSID is published – 2.4 GHz, 5GHz , 6GHz Band Steering Band Steering technology detects whether a connected...
We bulk edit WLANs together and assign them to the intended APs with just a single UI configuration change. You can select the WLANs you wish to edit together and make a single change to be applied across all of them. In addition to adding APs to WLANs, you can also add and remove labels....
This section in the WLAN configuration is used to control which Access points will get this WLAN configuration. By default, all the APs in a selected site or site-group will get the WLAN configuration and beacon the SSID. Based on the use-case or the requirements, filters can be applied to have the WLAN configured only...
Supported data rates for clients may be modified per WLAN. Navigate to the Data Rates section under the WLAN configuration in template or site level WLANs. The PHY header is always sent at the minimum supported PHY rate for the band, it’s important to remember that the clients have to decode the MAC header in...
Bonjour is a type of zero-configuration networking protocol that was developed by Apple, to enable auto discovery of devices and services on a local network. For devices and services to be discoverable by each other, they must be connected to the same network segment/same VLAN. Bonjour uses mDNS, which is DNS-form of queries that are...
Mist APs supports the below peer to peer (layer 2) isolation options. • Disabled – no peer-to-peer block enabled. Default behavior. • Same AP – This blocks peer to peer traffic on the same AP • Same Subnet – This blocks peer to peer traffic destined for the same subnet (wired and wireless). Please note...
802.11k, 802.11r, and 802.11v are integral in improving the the experience of Wi-Fi clients, specifically around mobility and roaming. Mist supports all three. Ultimately roaming is the decision of the client, however the infrastructure can help the client to make better roaming decisions 802.11k 802.11k helps clients discover neighboring APs, reducing the need for the...
By Default the WLAN will output as tagged or untagged traffic though the primary Ethernet port Eth0 It is possible to send the entire SSID out of the second ethernet port – this is useful for complete isolation of voice or guest traffic – but it doubles cable costs, but can be used in a...
