• Pre-authentication (WPA2 only)
• PMK caching for fast roaming (WPA2 only)
• DiffServ marking
The NWA3000-N series AP can balance wireless network traffic
between the APs on your network by station quantity or by
traffic volume.
Rogue AP detection, classification, and suppression
802.1Q VLAN tagging
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup
links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to
interact with other (R)STP-compliant bridges in your network to
ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on
the network.
The NWA3000-N series AP can use certificates (also called
digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based on
public-private key pairs. Certificates provide a way to exchange
public keys for use in authentication.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) uses a public key to encrypt data
that's transmitted over an SSL connection. Both Netscape
Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web
sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information,
such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require
an SSL connection start with "https" instead of "http". The
NWA3000-N series AP allows SSL connections to take place
through the NWA3000-N series AP.
Your NWA3000-N series AP checks the MAC address of the
wireless station against a list of allowed or denied MAC
addresses.
With the wireless association list, you can see the list of the
wireless stations that are currently using the NWA3000-N
series AP to access your wired network.
Built-in message logging and packet tracing. The NWA3000-N
series AP stores up to 512 event logs or 1024 debug logs.
The embedded FTP server enables fast firmware upgrades as
well as configuration file backups and restoration.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol
used for exchanging management information between
network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol
suite. Your NWA3000-N series AP supports SNMP agent
functionality, which allows a manger station to manage and
monitor the NWA3000-N series AP through the network. The
NWA3000-N series AP supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1),
version two c (SNMPv2c), and version three (SNMPv3).
DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) and TPC (Transmit Power
Control) from IEEE 802.11h allows a wider choice of 802.11a
wireless channels.
The ZyXEL Device can be managed via CAPWAP (Control And
Provisioning of Wireless Access Points), which allows multiple
APs to be configured and managed by a single AP controller.
