◆ Prevent Intra VAP client communication — When enabled, clients associated
with a specific VAP interface cannot establish wireless communications with
each other. Clients can communicate with clients associated to other VAP
interfaces.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol
This page allows you to configure the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). LLDP
allows devices in the local broadcast domain to share information about
themselves. LLDP-capable devices periodically transmit information in messages
called Type Length Value (TLV) fields to neighbor devices. Advertised information is
represented in Type Length Value (TLV) format according to the IEEE 802.1ab
standard, and can include details such as device identification, capabilities and
configuration settings.
This information can be used by SNMP applications to simplify troubleshooting,
enhance network management, and maintain an accurate network topology.
Figure 28: LLDP Settings
The following items are displayed on this page:
◆ Disable/Enable — Disables/Enables LLDP on the access point.
◆ Message Transmission Hold Time — Configures the time-to-live (TTL) value
sent in LLDP advertisements as shown in the formula below. (Range: 2-10;
Default: 4)
