NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

Layer 2 isolation Prevents wireless clients associated with your NWA from
communicating with other wireless clients, APs, computers or
routers in a network.
Multiple BSSID
(MBSSID)
MBSSID mode allows the NWA to operate up to 8 different
wireless networks (BSSs) simultaneously, each with
independently-configurable wireless and security settings.
Rogue AP detection Rogue AP detection detects and logs unknown access points
(APs) operating in the area.
Internal RADIUS server PEAP, 32-entry Trusted AP list, 128-entry Trusted Users list.
VLAN 802.1Q VLAN tagging.
STP (Spanning Tree
Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid
STP)
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup
links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to
interact with other (R)STP-compliant bridges in your network to
ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on
the network.
WMM QoS allows you to prioritize wireless traffic.
Certificates The NWA can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to
authenticate users. Certificates are based on public-private key
pairs. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for
use in authentication.
SSL Passthrough SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) uses a public key to encrypt data
that's transmitted over an SSL connection. Both Netscape
Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web
sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information,
such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require
an SSL connection start with “https” instead of “http”. The NWA
allows SSL connections to take place through the NWA.
MAC Address Filter Your NWA checks the MAC address of the wireless station
against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.
Wireless Association List With the wireless association list, you can see the list of the
wireless stations that are currently using the NWA to access
your wired network.
Logging and Tracing Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
Embedded FTP and TFTP
Servers
The embedded FTP and TFTP servers enable fast firmware
upgrades as well as configuration file backups and restoration.
Auto Configuration Administrators can use text configuration files to configure the
wireless LAN settings for multiple APs. The AP can
automatically get a configuration file from a TFTP server at
start up or after renewing DHCP client information.
SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol
used for exchanging management information between
network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol
suite. Your NWA supports SNMP agent functionality, which
allows a manger station to manage and monitor the NWA
through the network. The NWA supports SNMP version one
(SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c).
