The added or edited profile appears on the Profiles > RF > Optimization page.Profiles > SSIDConfigures network authentication and encryption types. This profile also includes references an EDCAParameters Station Profile, an EDCA Parameters AP Profile and a High-throughput 9HT) SSID profile.z SSID—The SSID profile defines SSID settings and references additional EDCA and HT profiles. Refer to“Profiles > SSID > EDCA AP” on page 127.z EDCA AP—AP to client traffic prioritization, including EDCA parameters for background, best-effort,voice and video queues. Refer to “Profiles > SSID > EDCA AP” on page 131.z EDCA Station—Client to AP traffic prioritization parameters, including Enhanced Distributed ChannelAccess (EDCA) parameters for background, best-effort, voice and video queues. Refer to “Profiles >SSID > EDCA Station” on page 134.z HT SSID—High-throughput APs support additional settings not available in legacy APs. A High-throughput SSID profile can enable or disable high-throughput (802.11n) features and 40 Mhz channelusage, and define values for aggregated MAC protocol data units (MDPUs) and Modulation and CodingScheme (MCS) ranges. If none of the APs in your mesh deployment are 802.11n-capable APs, you do notneed to configure a high-throughput SSID profile. If you modify a currently provisioned and runninghigh-throughput SSID profile, your changes take affect immediately. You do not reboot the controller orthe AP. Refer to “Profiles > SSID > HT SSID” on page 137.z 802.11K—The 802.11k protocol provides mechanisms to APs and clients to dynamically measure theavailable radio resources. In a 802.11k enabled network, APs and clients can send neighbor reports,beacon reports, and link measurement reports to each other. This allows the APs and clients to takeappropriate connection actions. Refer to “Profiles > SSID > 802.11K” on page 138.InterferenceThreshold(0-100%)100 Sets the maximum allowable interference to be tolerated by APs that areconfigured with this optimization profile, as a percentage.InterferenceThreshold ExceedTime(0-360000 sec)60 Sets the amount of time in seconds during which interference is allowed toexceed the threshold percentage. When interference exceeds the thresholdpercentage longer than the amount of time specified in this field, thethreshold has been exceeded.InterferenceBaseline Time(0-360000 sec)600 Sets the period of time in seconds during which interference levels are to bemonitored. This setting governs the deployment of the interferencepercentage threshold and the threshold exceed time.RSSI Falloff WaitTime (0-8 sec)0 Sets the maximum time to wait with decreasing received signal strengthindication (RSSI) before de-authorization is sent to the client.Low RSSIThreshold (0-255)0 Sets the low threshold for received signal strength indication (RSSI). If theRSSI for a specific client falls below this threshold and continues to fall forthe RSSI Falloff Wait Time, then the AP sends a de-authorization commandto the client. Such de-authorization removes the client from the current APand forces it to re-authentication on a nearby AP.RSSI CheckFrequency (0-255)0 Sets the amount of time in seconds between RSSI coverage checks.Table 47 Aruba Configuration > Profiles > RF > Optimization Profile Settings (Continued)Field Default Description
