The OmniAccess AP Access Points and OmniAccess 1200R APs broadcast all active Alcatel WLAN SSIDs
and enforce the policies defined for each WLAN, while only the operator-managed Third-Party APs
broadcast the Third-Party AP SSID and enforce the operator-defined policies as described in
Access Points.
Note that many enterprises use different WLANs to separate traffic for different sections or
departments.

About Access Control Lists

The Alcatel OmniAccess Operating System allows you to define up to 64 Access Control Lists (ACLs),
similar to standard firewall Access Control Lists. Each ACL can have up to 64 Rules (filters).
Operators can use ACLs to control client access to multiple VPN servers within a given WLAN. If all the
clients on a WLAN must access a single VPN server, use the IPSec/VPN Gateway Passthrough setting in

About Identity Networking

Alcatel OmniAccess WLAN Switches and Appliances can have the following parameters applied to all
clients associating with a particular WLAN: QoS, global or Interface-specific DHCP server, Layer 2 and
Layer 3 Security Policies, and default Interface (which includes physical port, VLAN and ACL
assignments).
However, the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance can also have individual clients (MAC addresses)
override the preset WLAN parameters by using MAC Filtering or by Allowing AAA Override parameters.
