Access Control
The AP provides facilities to limit the wireless clients that associate with it and
the data packets that can forward through it. Filters provide network security
or improve performance by eliminating broadcast/multicast packets from the
radio network.
The Access Control List (ACL) contains MAC addresses for wireless clients
allowed to associate with the AP. This provides security by preventing
unauthorized access. The AP also uses a disallowed address list of destinations.
This feature prevents the AP from communicating with specied destinations.
This can include network devices that do not require communication with the
AP or its wireless clients.
Clicking Apply after conguring Soft AP will
show the “Access Control” tab.
