12.1 Overview

This chapter describes how you can configure the Layer-2 Isolation screen on
your NWA.
Layer-2 isolation is used to prevent wireless clients associated with your NWA
from communicating with other wireless clients, APs, computers or routers in a
network.
In the following figure, layer-2 isolation is enabled on the NWA (Z) to allow a
guest wireless client (A) to access the main network router (B). The router
provides access to the Internet (C) and the network printer (D) while preventing
the client from accessing other computers and servers on the network. The client
can communicate with other wireless clients only if Intra-BSS Traffic blocking is
disabled.
Note: Intra-BSS Traffic Blocking is activated when you enable layer-2 isolation.
