About the location policy

Each WSS can have one location policy. The location policy consists of a set of rules. Each rule contains
conditions, and an action to perform if all conditions in the rule match. The location policy can contain up to
150 rules.
The action can be one of the following:
• Deny access to the network
• Permit access, but set or change the user's VLAN assignment, inbound ACL, outbound ACL, or any
combination of these attributes
The conditions can be one or more of the following:
• AAA-assigned VLAN
• Username
• AP access port, Distributed AP number, or wired authentication port through which the user accessed the
network
• SSID name with which the user is associated
Conditions within a rule are ANDed. All conditions in the rule must match in order for WSS Software to take
the specified action. If the location policy contains multiple rules, WSS Software compares the user informa-
tion to the rules one at a time, in the order the rules appear in the switch's configuration file, beginning with
the rule at the top of the list. WSS Software continues comparing until a user matches all conditions in a rule or
until there are no more rules.
Any authorization attributes not changed by the location policy remain active.
