SmartRF is a set of software algorithms that provides automatic transmit power
adjustment, automatic channel selection, and automatic neighbor recovery if a failure
occurs in a neighbor access point. On a dedicated RF Controller, SmartRF adds additional
functionality for an enterprise network.
Bridging Policy
webUI navigation: Configuration -> Wireless -> Bridging Policy
details: Set whether a common VLAN will be bridged between wired and wireless interfaces.
Configuration -> Profiles
Profiles are containers to hold policies and configurations. Assign profiles to devices. The administrator can create
multiple profiles for dierent applications of the wireless access points.
Most configurations will require the administrator to select a policy from a drop down list. For example, select an
adoption policy from a drop down list. Other configurations will be done directly in the profile and will not be found
in a policy. Examples of configurations that are not found in a policy include Fast Ethernet port configuration. These
configurations will be set within the profile itself.
Configuration -> RF Domains
The RF Domain contains the SmartRF policy to manage the RF spectrum, and the WIPs policy for wireless security
and intrusion protection.
Configuration -> Security
Security settings include complex firewall rules, WIPs policy, and Wireless Client Roles
Firewall Policy
webUI navigation: Configuration -> Security -> Firewall Policy
details: Create global denial of service rules and configuration and Storm Control with ARP, Ucast,

details: Create multiple rules with filters based on source/destination IP address, and a set of IP
protocols. Mark packets with an 802.1p bit or DSCP bit.
MAC Firewall Rules
webUI navigation: Configuration -> Security -> MAC Firewall Rules
details: Create multiple rules with filters based on source/destination MAC address, VLAN ID,
802.1P bit. Mark packets with a 802.1p bit or DSCP bit.
