User's Guide

security concern entails the broadcast or multi-cast wired trac which the AP bridges into the air in
clear text. All devices within range of the AP can passively listen to this trac and gain information
about network configuration, routing, and the devices on the wired network. This is problem is
compounded when the AP is placed on a VLAN which has user systems NetBios trac that can
reveal a great deal about the networked devices. It is best practice to place the APs on a dedicated
subnet which will limit the broadcast domain of the network to minimize wired side leakage.
