7. Create access rule for
wired and wireless
authentication. In this
example, the rule
permits all traffic. For
contractor SSID role, the
rule allows only
For wired profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan access-rule wired-port
(Instant AP)(Access Rule "wired-port")# rule any any
match any any any permit
