General Settings for Provisioning Profiles

To configure the options on the General screen

1. Set the SonicWave General Settings.

   Option	Action
   Enable	When selected, enables the SonicWave access point. By default, this option is enabled.

   Enable LED	When selected, turns on the SonicWave LEDs. If left unchecked, which is the default, the LEDs stay off.
   Enable Low Power Mode	When selected, allows the SonicWave to operate in a low power mode because of the power source not being standard 802.3at PoE.
   PoE Out	When selected, the Power over Ethernet ports operate in strict order: resistance checks are disabled on the port, continually checks that overload limit is not reached or a short circuit detected.
   Name Prefix	Type the prefix used for the name in the field provided.
   Country Code	From the drop-down menu, select the country code for the country in which the access point is deployed.
   EAPOL Version	Select EAPoL version from the drop-down menu. Note that V2 provides the better security.
   Band Steering Mode	Select the band steering mode from the drop-down menu. Options include: Disable, Auto, Prefer 5GHz, or Force 5GHz.
   Proxy Client DNS Request	When selected, a DNS proxy forwards DNS requests and replies between DNS clients and a DNS server.

2. Set the Virtual Access Point Settings:

   1. For 5GHz Radio Virtual AP Group, select a Virtual Access Point object group from the drop-down menu.
   2. For 2.4GHz Radio Virtual AP Group, select a Virtual Access Point object group from the drop-down menu.

3. Scroll down to see the other General Settings.

   

4. Set the Dynamic VLAN ID Assignment.

   To enable the options under Dynamic VLAN ID Assignment, you need create a WLAN zone under OBJECT | Match Objects > Zones and add a VLAN interface on the NETWORK | System > Interfaces page. Click + Add Interface and choose the Virtual Interface option. The Add Virtual Interface page appears.
