Features
Authentication: Authentication can be either 802.1X or MAC. To validate user
credentials the AP makes use of an external RADIUS server, which can be the controller
or a third-party device. For more information, see Stand-alone deployment on page 4-2
Wireless security filters: Enables the AP to block traffic unless it is addressed to a
specific device (like the controller). For more information, see Wireless security filters
on page 4-14.
MAC filter: Enables the AP to only allow wireless-to-wired LAN traffic for specific
wireless-user MAC addresses. For more information, see MAC filter on page 4-19.
IP filter: Enables the AP to only allow wireless-to-wired LAN traffic for specific
wireless-user IP addresses. For more information, see IP filter on page 4-20.
