Introduction
1-19
An AAP provides:
• local 802.11 traffic termination
• local encryption/decryption
• local traffic bridging
• the tunneling of centralized traffic to the wireless switch
For a information overview of the adaptive AP feature as well as how to configure it, refer to
Adaptive AP on page 10-1.
1.1.35 Rogue AP Enhancements
The access point can scan for rogues over all channels on both of the access point’s radio bands. The
switching of radio bands is based on a timer with no user intervention required.
For information on configuring the access point for Rogue AP support, see Configuring Rogue AP
Detection on page 6-55.
1.1.36 Bandwidth Management Enhancements
Use the Bandwidth Management screen to control the network bandwidth allotted to individual
WLANs. Define a weighted scheme as needed when WLAN traffic supporting a specific network
segment becomes critical. Bandwidth management is configured on a per-WLAN basis. With this
segregated radio approach, bandwidth management can be configured uniquely for individual
WLANs on different access point radios.
For information on configuring bandwidth management, see Configuring Bandwidth Management
Settings on page 5-66.
1.1.37 Radius Time-Based Authentication
An external server maintains a users and groups database used by the access point for access
permissions. Various kinds of access policies can be applied to each group. Individual groups can be
configured with their own time-based access policy. Each group’s policy has a user defined interval
defining the days and hours access is permitted. Authentication requests for users belonging to the
group are honored only during these defined hourly intervals.
For more information on defining access point access policies by group, see Defining User Access
Permissions by Group on page 6-76.
