Configuring Advanced WLAN Settings
In the Advanced section of a WLAN’s Edit screen, you can establish more
specialized settings for a WLAN.
This section will explain how to configure:
control over inter-station traffic
closed system operations
inactivity timeouts
You will learn how to configure other advanced settings, which deal with QoS
capabilities, in “Traffic Management (QoS)” on page 4-90.
Controlling Inter-Station Traffic
Often, a wireless network serves simply to connect mobile users to your
Ethernet network or to the Internet. In this case, wireless stations primarily
need to communicate with the Wireless Edge Services xl Module and servers
in the wired network; they do not need to communicate with other wireless
stations. However, by default they are allowed to do so (albeit through their
RPs since infrastructure mode requires that wireless stations send all traffic
to the RP).
