Although this feature is generally enabled in public access environments,
Enterprise LAN administrators use it to conserve wireless bandwidth by
limiting communication between wireless clients. For example, this
feature prevents peer-to-peer file sharing or gaming over the wireless
network.
• To block Intra BSS traffic, set Intra BSS Traffic Operation to Block.
• To allow Intra BSS traffic, set Intra BSS Traffic Operation to
Passthru.
Packet Forwarding
The Packet Forwarding feature enables you to redirect traffic generated
by wireless clients that are all associated to the same AP to a single MAC
address. This filters wireless traffic without burdening the AP and
provides additional security by limiting potential destinations or by routing
the traffic directly to a firewall. You can redirect to a specific port (Ethernet
or WDS) or allow the bridge’s learning process (and the forwarding table
entry for the selected MAC address) to determine the optimal port.
NOTE:
The gateway to which traffic will be redirected should be node on
the Ethernet network. It should not be a wireless client.
