D.3.1 Defining an MU to MU Disallow Configuration
The following sections outline the requirements, components and steps required to disable MU to MU
communications for a WLAN configured on a RF Switch.
To view the running configuration on the RFS6000 switch used to create this MU to MU disallow tutorial,
refer to RF Switch Running Configuration on page D-40.
D.3.1.1 Requirements
The following requirements must be met prior to attempting this configuration:
• One (or more) RF Switches are installed and operational on the network
• One (or more) Access Ports configured and adopted by the RF Switch
• One (or more) WLAN profiles are configured and assigned to adopted radios
• A Windows XP workstation is available with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox to perform
Web UI configuration
• Two wireless workstations are available to test and verify MU to MU communications
D.3.1.2 Components
The information in this section is based on the following Motorola hardware and software versions:
• 1 RFS6000 model switch
• 5 AP300 model Access Ports
D.3.1.3 Switch Web UI Configuration
The following configuration example demonstrates how to disable MU to MU communications for a WLAN:
As illustrated in the figure below, three WLANs have been created at a site. MOTO-DATA and MOTO-VOICE
are corporate WLANs providing data and voice services to corporate users and VoIP handsets. MOTO-GUEST
is a hotspot WLAN providing guest access to visitors and contractors.
In this example, the company has deployed VoIP handsets and converged communication clients with instant
messaging and voice communications potentially occurring between any wired or WLAN client. As a result,
MU to MU traffic on MOTO-DATA and MOTO-VOICE WLANs will be allowed so it will not impact instant
messaging or voice communications. On MOTO-GUEST, MU to MU traffic is disallowed since MOTO-GUEST
is an isolated network servicing visitors and contractors who do not require direct client to client
communications.
