9. Optionally, enable 802.11w Protected Management Frames (PMF), select a single
radio band only, enable band steering with 802.11k radio resource management
(RRM) and 802.11v WiFi network management, or do all of this, as described in the
following table.
DescriptionSetting
Protected Management Frames (PMF), according to the 802.11w standard, is a security
feature that protects unicast and multicast management frames from being intercepted and
changed for malicious purposes. This feature is disabled by default, but you can enable it
as either optional or mandatory.
Select Mandatory to require devices to use PMF. Devices that do not support PMF cannot
connect to the WiFi network. If you select WPA3 Personal authentication or WiFi enhanced
open authentication, PMF becomes mandatory automatically.
Select Optional to let the access point automatically activate PMF based on whether devices
can support PMF.
802.11w (PMF)
Select a radio button for a single band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) or keep the default selection,
which is the Both radio button, to enable the VAP to broadcast on both bands.
Band
By default, band steering with 802.11k RRM and 802.11v WiFi network management is
disabled for the VAP.
To enable band steering with 802.11k RRM and 802.11v WiFi network management, select
the Enable radio button. Doing so allows the access point, under certain channel conditions,
to steer WiFi devices that are dual-band capable to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band of the VAP.
Compared to the 2.4 GHz band, generally more channels and bandwidth are available in
the 5 GHz band, causing less interference and allowing for a better user experience.
802.11k RRM and 802.11v WiFi network management affect the network in the following
ways:
•
802.11k RRM. This feature lets the access point and 802.11k-aware clients dynamically
measure the available radio resources. In an 802.11k-enabled network, access points and
clients can send neighbor reports, beacon reports, and link measurement reports to each
other, allowing 802.11k-aware clients to automatically select the best access point for
initial connection or for roaming.
•
802.11v WiFi network management. This feature lets the access point steer its WiFi
clients to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, based on the access point’s channel load.
The access point sets the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) threshold automatically.
(That is, you cannot configure the RSSI threshold manually.)
