Prevents wireless clients associated with your NWA from
communicating with other wireless clients, APs, computers or
routers in a network.
MBSSID mode allows the NWA to operate up to 8 different
wireless networks (BSSs) simultaneously, each with
independently-configurable wireless and security settings.
Rogue AP detection detects and logs unknown access points
(APs) operating in the area.
PEAP, 32-entry Trusted AP list, 128-entry Trusted Users list.
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.
allows you to prioritize wireless traffic.
The NWA 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 NWA
allows SSL connections to take place through the NWA.
Your NWA 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 NWA to access
your wired network.
Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
The embedded FTP and TFTP servers enable fast firmware
upgrades as well as configuration file backups and restoration.
Administrators can use text configuration files to configure the
wireless LAN settings for multiple APs. The AP can
automatically get a configuration file from a TFTP server at
start up or after renewing DHCP client information.
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 NWA supports SNMP agent functionality, which
allows a manger station to manage and monitor the NWA
through the network. The NWA supports SNMP version one
(SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c).
