The LED display is always in the Enabled mode during the anAP reboot.

Disabling inter-user bridging

If you have security and traffic management policies defined in upstream devices, you can disable bridging traffic between two clients connected to the same AP on the same VLAN. When inter-user bridging is denied, the clients can connect to the internet but cannot communicate with each other, and the bridging traffic between the clients is sent to the upstream device to make the forwarding decision.

To disable inter-user bridging:

1.Select Wireless Configuration > System. The Configuration-System details are displayed.

2.In GENERAL, set the DENY INTER USER BRIDGING to Enabled.

3.Click Save Settings.

Preventing local routing between clients

If you have security and traffic management policies defined in upstream devices, you can disable routing traffic between two clients connected to the same AP on different VLANs. When local routing is disabled, the clients can connect to the internet but cannot communicate with each other, and the routing traffic between the clients is sent to the upstream device to make the forwarding decision.

You can disable local routing through:

1.Select Wireless Configuration > System. The System details are displayed.

2.In GENERAL, set DENY LOCAL ROUTING to Enabled.

3.Click Save Settings.

Enabling dynamic CPU management

APs perform various functions such as wired and wireless client connectivity and traffic flows, wireless security, network management, and location tracking.If an AP is overloaded, prioritize the platform resources across different functions. Typically, the APs manage resources automatically in real time. However, under special circumstances, if dynamic resource management needs to be enforced or disabled altogether, the dynamic CPU management feature settings can be modified.

To configure dynamic CPU management:

1.Select Wireless Configuration > System. The System details are displayed.

2.In GENERAL, select any of the following options from DYNAMIC CPU UTILIZATION.

n Automatic — When selected, the CPU management is enabled or disabled automatically during run-time. This decision is based on real time load calculations taking into account all different functions that the CPU needs to perform. This is the default and recommended option.

n Always Disabled in all APs — When selected, this setting disables CPU management on all APs, typically for small networks. This setting protects user experience.

n Always Enabled in all APs — When selected, the client and network management functions are protected. This setting helps in large networks with high client density.

3.Click Save Settings.
