FILTER CONTROL

The Filter Control page allows you to control client communication within the wireless network. You may enable one or more types of supported filtering; however, some filter choices may supersede others. Configure the options as described below. When you are finished, click Apply.

FILTERING BY VLAN

The access point supports filtering of up to 64 VLANs (virtual local area networks). VLAN IDs must be configured for each client on one of the RADIUS authentication servers specified on the RADIUS configuration page. If a RADIUS server is not being used or not setup to update the VLAN ID, then the access point will tag all ethernet packets with the Native VLAN ID (defaulted to 1).

If a RADIUS authentication server will be used to create/modify the VLAN ID, the following attributes must be provisioned on the RADIUS Server to be passed back to the authenticating client:

The AP’s IP address is the RADIUS Client/Radius User Tunnel_type (64) = VLAN (13)

Tunnel_Medium_type (65) = 802

Tunnel_Private_group_ID (81) = VLAN ID specified in Hexadecimal format.
