Feature Description
Bandwidth contract
enhancements
AOS-W Instant supports assigning bandwidth contracts to the user roles. The
administrator can assign a bandwidth contract configured in Kbps to upstream (client to
the OAW-IAP) or downstream (OAW-IAP to clients) traffic for a user role. All users in that
role will be part of that bandwidth contract.
The administrators can also set per user bandwidth to provide a specific bandwidth for
each user connecting to the SSID or wired profile.
Support for 802.11r
Roaming and Fast BSS
Transition
AOS-W Instant supports 802.11r roaming standard. As part of the 802.11r
implementation, AOS-W Instant supports the Fast BSS Transition protocol. The Fast BSS
Transition mechanism minimizes the time required to resume data connectivity when a
BSS transition happens.
Support for Client
Roaming Based on
Opportunistic Key
Caching
AOS-W Instant also supports opportunistic key caching (OKC) based roaming. In the
OKC based roaming, the 802.1X authentication profile enables a cached pairwise master
key (PMK), which is used when a client roams to a new OAW-IAP. This allows faster
roaming of clients between the OAW-IAPs in a cluster, without the need for a complete
802.1X authentication.
LACP on OAW-IAP220
Series
OAW-IAP220 Series supports link aggregation using either standard port-channel
(configuration based) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (protocol signaling based).
OAW-IAP Guest
Management Interface
AOS-W Instant now supports a guest management interface for managing guest users.
OAW-IAP Integration with
Analytics and Location
Engine (ALE)
AOS-W Instant supports integration with Application and Location Engine (ALE). The ALE
server acts as a primary interface to all third-party applications and the OAW-IAP sends
client information and other status information to the ALE server.
OAW-IAP Integration with
Palo Alto Networks
Firewall
AOS-W Instant supports integration with the Palo Alto Networks (PAN) firewall. To
integrate an OAW-IAP with PAN user ID, a global profile is added. This profile can be
configured on an OAW-IAP with PAN firewall information such as IP address, port, user
name, password, firewall enabled or disabled status. OAW-IAP maintains the network
(such as mapping IP address) and user information for its clients in the network and can
provide the required information for the user ID feature on PAN firewall.
Domain-name based
ACL
AOS-W Instant supports configuration of domain-based Access Control List (ACL)rule.
Access to specific domains is allowed or denied based on the ACL rule definition.
Enhancements to
Internal Captive Portal
Splash Page
AOS-W Instant now supports customization of logo, policy text, and usage terms for the
internal Captive portal splash page.
Support for multiple
Captive portal profiles
AOS-W Instant supports multiple Captive portal profiles and allows the users to
customize the Captive portal profiles based on guest logon role and SSID. You can
create a set of captive portal profiles and associate them with an SSID or wired profile, or
create an external Captive portal profile for a WLAN SSID or a wired profile in the WLAN
wizard or Wired Network window.
Client Match
AOS-W Instant supports the ARM client match feature that continually monitors a client's
RF neighborhood to provide the ongoing client bandsteering service and load balancing,
and enhanced OAW-IAP reassignment for roaming mobile clients.
Support for Spanning
Tree Protocol
AOS-W Instant allows enabling of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on a wired profile. STP
ensures that there are no loops in any bridged Ethernet network and operates on all
downlink ports, regardless of forwarding mode. By default, Spanning Tree is disabled on
wired profiles.
