WLAN interfaces. An additional default action is also available denying traffic when the filter rules fail.
Lastly, imported and exported configurations retain their defined IP filtering configurations.
DHCP Lease Information
This release of the access point firmware provides an enhancement to the access point’s existing DHCP
server functionality, allowing a network administrator to monitor IP address usage. When either (or
both) of the access point’s LAN interfaces are configured as a DHCP server, a client’s IP address lease
assignment can now be monitored in respect to its lease period and expiration time. The access point’s
GUI and CLI interfaces support this feature.
Configurable MU Idle Timeout
The configurable MU idle timeout allows a MU timeout to be defined separately for individual WLANs.
The MU timeout value can be defined using the access point’s CLI, GUI and SNMP interfaces. Imported
and exported configurations retain their defined MU idle timeout configurations. The default MU idle
timeout is 30 minutes for each WLAN.
Auto Channel Select (ACS) Smart Scan
The access point supports a new Auto Channel Select (ACS) feature allowing users to specify an
exception list for channel usage. When channel exceptions are defined, the access point skips the
channels specified in the list. When the smart scan feature is enabled (it’s disabled by default), up to 3
separate channels can be excluded. The exception list is configurable using the access point’s CLI, GUI
and SNMP interfaces. Imported and exported configurations retain their defined exception list
configurations.
Trusted Host Management
Trusted subnet management restricts AP-51x1 LAN1, LAN2 and WAN interface access (via SNMP,
HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet and SSH) to a set of user defined trusted host or subnets. Only hosts with
matching subnet (or IP) addresses are able to access the access point. Enabling the feature denies access
from any subnet not defined as trusted. Once a set of trusted hosts is defined and applied, the settings
can be imported and exported as a part of the access point’s configuration import/export functionality.
Rogue AP Enhancements
The access point now has the option to scan for rogues over all channels on both of the access point’s
11a and 11bg radio bands. The switching of radio bands is based on a timer with no user intervention
required.
Radius Time-Based Authentication
An external server maintains a users and groups database used by the access point for access
permissions. Various kinds of access policies can be applied to each group. Individual groups can be
configured with their own time-based access policy. Each group’s policy has a user defined interval
