ThesupportedfunctionsallowasecurityadministratortoconfiguretheRBT‐4102asfollows:
•Grantrestrictedaccesstoanun‐authenticatedguestuser.
•Grantaccesstoanauthenticateduserwithanassignedrole.
• Supportadefaultroleforun‐authenticatedusersorauthenticateduserswithoutauthoriz ation
information.
• ControlaccessbyIPsubnetor
addressrange.
• ControlaccessbyTCP/UDPportnumber.
•Fiftyroles,withamaximumof50rulesperrole.Bilateralrulescountas2rules.
TherulescanonlybeimplementedontheRBT‐4102bytheEnterasysNetsightPolicyManager,

policysupport.
TheRBT‐4102onlysupportspolicy‐basednetworkinginworkgroupbridgemode,andonlywhen
authenticationisenabled.Inaddition,thewirelessclientsmustbecommunicatingusingIPv4.The
RBT‐4102onlysupports
policyrulesthatapplytoIPv4packetformat.
