Note In a closed system, RPs still forward traffic directly between wireless stations,
unless you also enable inter-station blocking.
Configuring the Inactivity Timeout
Users do not always bother to disconnect from wireless connections when
they turn off or leave their stations. Although the user is no longer truly
connected, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module continues to store the
station’s association. On an RP nearing its maximum number of stations, an
unterminated association can prevent a new station from connecting to the
wireless network. The unterminated association can also be a security risk,
as an unauthorized user may access the station, and through it, the authorized
user’s connection.
