This feature lets you freeze the channel and transmit power in the Auto mode to operate a specific radio at a specific channel number and transmit power. To switch to other channels, unfreeze the settings and select a custom channel and power, or enable the Auto mode to select the optimum channel and transmit power. Freeze and unfreeze Auto Channel Selection (ACS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC) configurations are configured for each radio. You can select multiple radios and freeze the ACS and TPC settings.

With the 16.0.1 release, clients connecting to the 6 GHz band can seamlessly connect to OWE-enabled SSIDs having Transition Mode. Arista APs support the Enhanced Open security protocol with Transition Mode built for open networks. Enhanced Open is based on Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE). It is supported only in WiFi 6 and higher AP models. A few examples are C-360, C-260, C-250, C-230, O-235, etc.

With the 16.0 release, network administrators do not have to define the VLANs received from the RADIUS server or CoA servers. The RADIUS server can dynamically generate VLANS for clients and send the VLAN to the access point (AP) when the client connects. This eliminates the need to manually configure all the dynamic VLANS in the SSID and Device settings. When Dynamic VLAN is enabled, network administrators do not have to configure the VLANs in SSID Settings; they are created dynamically on the AP.

With the 16.0 release, you can authenticate edge devices from a centrally managed network access control server using the 802.1X authentication. As a network administrator, you want to authenticate the access points (APs), before the APs connect to the network. To enable the authentication, you need to first configure the uplink port on the AP using CV-CUE.

VXLAN tunneling requires that the switch where the tunnel terminates is configured with a VTEP that matches the configuration on the AP. CV-CUE now provides an easier way to match configurations on both AP and the switch. By having the same VXLAN configuration for access points (APs) and switches, you can aggregate all wireless traffic from the same VXLAN to a single wired destination for better traffic management and visibility.

With the 15.0 release, access points can authenticate themselves to the network using respective certificates. With access point (AP) VPN, AP uses the EAP-TLS protocol for authentication. Since EAP-TLS requires the client and network to authenticate themselves using respective certificates, the protocol is considered robust compared to exchanging shared secret and Xauth password.

One of the reasons why Wi-Fi clients encounter RF issues is non-Wi-Fi interference. All Wi-Fi 6 and above APs can perform interference classification. CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) classifies interference into four categories — Wi-Fi, Microwave Oven (MWO), Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), and Continuous Wave (CW).

With the 14.0 release, you can integrate OpenID Connect with a captive portal for authentication. The OpenID Connect integration functionality is available only for captive portals hosted on the Arista Cloud. It is not available if the captive portal is hosted on third-party servers or on the access point.

With the 13.0.1 release, you can authenticate wired hosts connected to the LAN ports of access points (W-118 and W-318) using 802.1X or MAC-based authentication. You can configure the authentication parameters for each downlink port on the access point (AP) using a LAN Port profile in CV-CUE. The communication happens either through a bridged network or transferred using L2 Tunnels.

With the 13.0.1 release, you can monitor wired hosts that are physically connected to access points (APs) through Ethernet cables. Currently, the W-118 AP and W-318 AP through their additional LAN ports support connecting hosts directly to the AP.

With the 13.0 release, you can enable spatial reuse from CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) to improve the spectral efficiency and optimally allocate resources to meet the Quality of Service (QoS). With spatial reuse, two or more Wi-Fi devices (AP or client) that support 802.11ax protocols can send transmissions simultaneously without any significant data loss.

With the 13.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) can redirect onboarding clients to a dynamic URL defined by the RADIUS. If the RADIUS access-accept request has a role and a redirection URL for a client, access points (AP) can redirect such client’s HTTP or HTTPS requests.

With the 13.0 release, you can now view switch-related data, which is managed by CVaaS, from CV-CUE. With this capability, CV-CUE provides you full visibility of the edge network from a single pane. You can monitor the network and make informed decisions – for example, when you want to troubleshoot any network issues and find out whether the root cause lies in the wired architecture or the wireless.
