Deny local routing
If you have security and traffic management policies
defined in upstream devices, you can disable routing
traffic between two clients connected to the same
W-IAP on different VLANs. When local routing is
disabled, the clients can connect to the Internet but
cannot communicate with each other, and the
routing traffic between the clients is sent to the
upstream device to make the forwarding decision.
By default, the Deny local routing parameter is
disabled.

DynamicCPUUtilization
W-IAPs perform various functions such as wired and
wireless client connectivity and traffic flows, wireless
security, network management, and location
tracking. If a W-IAP is overloaded, it prioritizes the
platform resources across different functions.
Typically, the W-IAPs manage resources
automatically in real time. However, under special
circumstances, if dynamic resource management
needs to be enforced or disabled altogether, the
dynamic CPU management feature settings can be
modified.
To configure dynamic CPU management, select any
of the following options from DYNAMIC CPU
UTILIZATION.
l Automatic—When selected, the CPU
management is enabled or disabled
automatically during runtime. This decision is
based on real-time load calculations taking into
account all different functions that the CPU
needs to perform. This is the default and
recommended option.
l Always Disabled in all APs—When selected,
this setting disables CPU management on all W-
IAPs, typically for small networks. This setting
protects user experience.
l Always Enabled in all APs—When selected,
the client and network management functions
are protected. This setting helps in large
networks with high client density.
