Advanced SSID options

Advanced SSID options

When you create or edit an SSID, you can configure additional advanced settings.

These fields correspond to the following CLI settings:

802.11k

When 802.11k is enabled, APs provide clients with a list of other neighboring APs and a site report, passively assisting roaming clients in deciding which APs to connect to.

set 80211k

802.11v

When 802.11v is enabled, APs help clients choose the least congested AP by actively sending deauthentication frames to clients that try to connect to congested APs when other APs have better RSSI.

set 80211v

Multiband operation

Enable/disable Multiband Operation (see Configuring Agile Multiband Operation

set mbo

Fast BSS transition

Enable/disable 802.11r Fast BSS Transition.

set fast-bss-transition

Probe response suppression

Enable/disable probe response suppression.

set probe-resp-suppression

Sticky client removal

Enable/disable sticky client remove to maintain good signal level clients in SSID.

set sticky-client-remove

Multicast enhancement

Enable/disable converting multicast to unicast to improve performance (see Enabling multicast enhancement).

set multicast-enhance

IGMP snooping

Enable/disable IGMP snooping to allow the wireless controller to detect which FortiAP(s) have IGMP clients. The wireless controller will only forward a multicast stream to the FortiAP where there is a listener for the multicast group. For more information, see Enabling IGMP Snooping.

set igmp-snooping

Radio sensitivity

Enable/disable software radio sensitivity.

set radio-sensitivity

Airtime weight

Set Airtime weight in percentage (see Airtime fairness).

set atf-weight

QoS profile

Enable to select a Quality of service profile. The QoS profile helps to set up different QoS parameters for voice, video, data wireless networks, or guest/employee wireless networks.

set qos-profile

L3 firewall profile

Enable to select a Layer 3 firewall profile. L3 firewall profile provides granular access control of client traffic in your wireless network. An L3 firewall profile allows or denies traffic between wireless clients based on the configured source and destination IP addresses/ports and specific protocols.

set access-control-list
