How the Location Policy Differs from a Security ACL

Although structurally similar, the location policy and security ACLs have different functions. The location policy on an WSS switch can be used to locally redirect a user to a different VLAN or locally control the traffic to and from a user.

In contrast, security ACLs are packet filters applied to the user throughout a Mobility Domain. (For more information, see “Configuring and Managing Security ACLs,” on page 351.)

You can use the location policy to locally apply a security ACL to a user.
