1.1.2 Rogue AP Enhancements
With the 2.0 release of the access point firmware, the access point now has the option to scan for
rogues over all channels on both of the access point's 11a and 11bg radio bands. The switching of
radio bands is based on a timer with no user intervention required.
For information on configuring the access point for Rogue AP support, see

1.1.3 Bandwidth Management Enhancements
Use the Bandwidth Management screen to control the network bandwidth allotted to individual
WLANs. Define a weighted scheme as needed when WLAN traffic supporting a specific network
segment becomes critical. Bandwidth management is configured on a per-WLAN basis. However,
with this latest version 2.0 release, a separate tab has been created for each access point radio. With
this new segregated radio approach, bandwidth management can be configured uniquely for
individual WLANs on different access point radios.

Configuring Bandwidth Management
Settings on page

1.1.4 Radius Time-Based Authentication
An external AAA server maintains a users and groups database used by the access point for access
permissions. Various kinds of access policies can be applied to each group. With this latest 2.0
version access point firmware, individual groups can be configured with their own time-based access
policy. Each group's policy has a user defined interval defining the days and hours access is permitted.
Authentication requests for users belonging to the group are honored only during these defined hourly
intervals.
For more information on defining access point access policies by group, see
Defining User Access
Permissions by Group on page
6-76.
1.1.5 QBSS Support
Each access point radio can be configured to optionally allow the access point to communicate
channel usage data to associated devices and define the beacon interval used for channel utilization
transmissions. The QBSS load represents the percentage of time the channel is in use by the access
