Wireless Client Security
Separation
From the menu, select Disable to prevent associated wireless clients from
communicating with each other
, or select Enable
to allow such communication.
Wireless client separation is intended for hotspots and other public access
situations.
VLAN Enter the VLAN ID to be associated with this security profile.
This VLAN ID needs to match the VLAN ID that is used by other network
devices.
Authentication Settings section
Note: The options that display onscreen depend on the selection from Network Authentication menu.
Note: MAC ACL displays
only when you select
Open System, Shared
Key, WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, or
WPA-PSK &
WPA2-PSK
from the Network
Authentication menu.
MAC ACL Select one of the following radio buttons:
• Local
. Use local MAC authentication.
The Local MAC ACL Group menu displays so you can
select a group. For more information, see Manage MAC
Authentication and MAC
Authentication Groups on
page 81.
• External. Use external MAC authentication.
The External Radius Server menu displays so you can
select a server. You can use either the basic-Auth RADIUS
server or a RADIUS server of an advanced authentication
group. You cannot use the external LDAP server.
For information about setting up and enabling internal and
external authentication servers, see Manage Authentication
Servers and Authentication Server Groups on page 85.
Note: The MAC ACL radio buttons do not display onscreen if
the network authentication uses an external RADIUS server.
The reason for this is that you can configure either MAC
authentication with an external RADIUS server or network
authentication with an external RADIUS server, but not both.
That is, if you configure an external RADIUS server with WPA,
WPA2, or WPA & WPA2 (or you use Legacy 802.1X), you
cannot use external MAC authentication, and the MAC ACL
radio buttons do not display on screen. You can still use
internal MAC authentication.
