Description
This field shows the status of L3 Tunneling. In order for tunnel to be completely
configured, routing must be enabled and the switch must have a routing interface IP
address that is in the tunnel subnet. The the status can be one of the following:
• None (L3 Tunnel is disabled or the network is not associated with any AP profiles)
• Configured
• Not Configured - Routing Disabled
• Not Configured - No Routing Interface
The network IP address you enter in this field must be in the same subnet as a routing
interface for the WLAN that you define on the switch.
Enter the subnet mask for the network IP address on the L3 Tunnel subnet.
If you enable MAC authentication, wireless clients must be authenticated by the AP
in order to connect to the network. To use MAC authentication, configure the client
MAC addresses in one of the following databases:
• Local
• RADIUS
In the database, you set a default action to either accept or deny that client or use
the global action configured on the WLAN > Administration > Advanced
Configuration > Global page.
MAC authentication is useful in networks that operate in Open mode to grant or
deny access to clients with specific MAC addresses. MAC Authentication can also be
used in conjunction with 802.1X security methods, in which case the MAC
Authentication is done prior to the 802.1X authentication.
Select the HTTP option in the Redirect field to redirect wireless clients to a custom
Web page.
When redirect mode is enabled, the user will be redirected to the URL you specify
after the wireless client associates with an AP and the user opens a Web browser on
the client to access the Internet.
The custom Web page must be located on an external Web server and might contain
information such as the company logo and network usage policy.
Note: The wireless client is redirected to the external Web server only once while it
associated with the AP.
Redirect functionality allows you to implement captive portal functionality; a captive
portal is often used at Wi-Fi hotspots to provide branding for the hotspot provider
and/or display a legal disclaimer, which the user can click-through to access the
Internet.
Enter the URL where all initial HTTP accesses should be redirected to. This field is
accessible only when HTTP is selected as the redirect type.
Enable the mode to allow the APs to reduce the number of broadcasted ARP
requests on the wireless interfaces. Reducing broadcasts helps conserve power on
the wireless clients. The wireless clients that use power-save mode must wake up
and use more power when they detect broadcast frames.
Note: Enabling this feature slightly degrades AP packet forwarding performance due
to extra packet filtering to find DHCP packets and extra processing for ARP request
and reply packets. Networks that do not use IPv4 should not enable this feature.
