Other Wireless Configurations

This chapter describes how to configure the Layer-2 Isolation, MAC Filter and Roaming screens on your ZyAIR.

8.1 Layer-2 Isolation Introduction

Layer-2 isolation is used to prevent wireless clients associated with your ZyAIR from communicating with other wireless clients, AP’s, computers or routers in a network.

In the following figure, A represents your ZyAIR, B represents an AP, C represents a server and 1, 2 and 3 represent wireless clients. If layer-2 isolation is enabled on the ZyAIR (A), then wireless clients 1 and 2 cannot communicate with B, C or 3. Wireless clients 1 and 2 cannot communicate with each other unless you enable Intra-BSS in the Wireless configuration screen.

Note: In the Wireless configuration screen, the Enable Intra-BSS Traffic check box is cleared when you enable layer-2 isolation.

If you want 1 and 2 to be able to communicate with C, B and/ or 3 then enter the MAC addresses of C, B and/or 3 in the Allow devices with these MAC addresses table.
