Chapter 2 How it works Chapter 2 General Name Specify a name to identify the VSC. Use Colubris access controller Enable this option to have this profile use the services of a Colubris Networks access controller for authentication and control of client sessions. When enabled, all customer traffic is sent to the access controller defined on the Security > Access controller page, and the Wireless Security Filters option is enabled. Virtual AP WLAN name (SSID) Specify a name to uniquely identify the wireless network associated with this VSC. Each client computer that wants to connect to this VSC must use this name. The name is case-sensitive. Maximum wireless clients per radio Specify the maximum number of wireless client stations that can be associated with this SSID at the same time on each radio. DTIM count Defines the DTIM count in the beacon. DTIMs-delivery traffic indication messages- are found in an IEEE 802.11b beacon frame. Client stations use the DTIM to wake up from low-power mode to receive multicast traffic. The WAP-200 transmits a beacon every 100 ms. The DTIM counts down with each beacon that is sent. Therefore if the DTIM is set to 5, client stations in low-power mode wake up every 500 ms (0.5 seconds) to receive multicast traffic. Permit traffic exchange between wireless clients Use this option to control traffic exchange between wireless clients on the WLAN. • No: Blocks all inter-client communications. Default setting. • 802.1x: Only permits authenticated 802.1x clients to communicate. • All: Select this option to allow wireless client stations (both authenticated and unauthenticated) to exchange data with one another. • IPV6: Select this option to allow authenticated wireless client stations that are using IP version 6 to exchange data with one another. When communicating between VSCs, the most restrictive setting takes precedence. For example: • If VSC1 is set to No and VSC2 is set to All, no wireless client on VSC1 can communicate with a wireless client on VSC2. However, all wireless clients on VSC2 can communicate with each other. • If VSC1 is set to 802.1x and VSC2 set to All, only 802.1x clients can communicate between the two VSCs. Note: Unicast VLAN traffic going to a different VSC but on the same VLAN and radio will be forwarded based on the setting of the VSC on which traffic arrives. Note: Multicast traffic and traffic going to the other radios is forwarded based on the setting of the VSC where traffic is going out. For example, if VSC 1 is set to All, then multicast traffic can be sent to all other VSCs that are set to either 802.1x or All. 29
