How Does Station Isolation Protect The Network?
This offers a very minimal level of protection on an otherwise exposed network
(such as a guest network) where the priority is making it easy for clients to get a
connection and where no sensitive information is available.
(See also “Guest Network” on page 126.)
13.1.4 How Does Station Isolation Protect The Network?
When Station Isolation is enabled, the access point blocks communication between
wireless clients. The access point still allows data traffic between its wireless clients
and wired devices on the network, but not among wireless clients.
The traffic blocking extends to wireless clients connected to the network via WDS
links; these clients cannot communicate with each other when Station Isolation
is on.
See Chapter 20: “Wireless Distribution System” for more information about WDS.
