In the following example, layer-2 isolation is enabled on the NWA/WAC to allow a guest wireless client
(A) to access the main network router (B). The router provides access to the Internet and the network
printer (C) while preventing the client from accessing other computers and servers on the network. The
client can communicate with other wireless clients only if Intra-BSS Traffic blocking is disabled.
Note: Intra-BSS Traffic Blocking is activated when you enable layer-2 isolation.
Figure 67 Layer-2 Isolation Application
MAC addresses that are not listed in the layer-2 isolation table are blocked from communicating with
the NWA/WAC’s wireless clients except for broadcast packets. Layer-2 isolation does not check the
traffic between wireless clients that are associated with the same AP. Intra-BSS traffic allows wireless
clients associated with the same AP to communicate with each other.
This screen allows you to specify devices you want the users on your wireless networks to access. To
