Cisco Wap125 Wireless-Ac/N Dual Band Desktop Access Point With Poe - Cisco WAP125 Administrator's Manual

Configuring VAPs
If you choose a security mode other than None, additional fields appear. For more information on configuring the wireless
security settings, see
We recommend using WPA Personal or WPA Enterprise as the authentication type as it provides stronger security
protection.
Static WEP can be used for wireless computers or devices that do not support WPA Personal and WPA Enterprise.
Note
To set security with Static WEP, configure the radio as 802.11a or 802.11b/g mode. The 802.11n mode restricts
the use of Static as the security.
• Client Filter — Specifies whether the stations that can access this VAP are restricted to a configured global list
of MAC addresses. You can choose one of these types of Client filter:
◦Disabled — Does not use Client filter.
◦Local — Uses the MAC authentication list that you configure on the Client Filter page.
◦RADIUS — Uses the MAC authentication list on an external RADIUS server.
• Channel Isolation — Check to enable the channel isolation.
When disabled, the wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic through the
WAP device.
When enabled, the WAP device blocks communication between the wireless clients on the same VAP. The WAP
device still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and the wired devices on the network, across a WDS
link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP, but not among the wireless clients
• Band Steer — Check to enable the band steer when both the radios are up. It effectively utilizes the 5-GHz band
by steering dual-band supported clients from the 2.4-GHz band to the 5-GHz band.
◦ It is configured on a per-VAP basis and needs to be enabled on both the radios.
◦ It is not encouraged on the VAPs with time-sensitive voice or video traffic.
◦ It does not consider the n-bandwidth of the radio. Even if the 5-GHz radio happens to use 20 MHz bandwidth,
it tries to steer clients to that radio.
• Scheduler — Select a scheduler profile from the list, VAP0 can't be associated to a scheduler profile.
• Guest Access Instance — Associate a CP instance to a VAP. The associated CP instance settings applies to users
who attempt to authenticate on the VAP. Select the instance name for each VAP you want to associate an instance
with.
A VAP can associate to one Guest Access Instance in Access Control > Guest Access page. You must configure
Note
a Guest Access Instance first.
Step 5 Click Save.
After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and restarted. When this condition
