Sunday, February 16, 2014 6:48 AM
Wireless filters can be applied to specific WLANs to grant or deny access to MUs based on individual or ranges of MAC addresses. Wireless filters may be applied to one or more WLANs and are used to grant or deny access to MUs during association.Wireless filters can be used for multiple applications including blacklisting malicious devices as well as providing an additional layer of security for less secure WLANs by restricting access to specific devices. Wireless filters may be applied to the RF Switch using the CLI and Web UI or from a Motorola AirDefense Enterprise server using SNMP when a threat is detected.

Applications:
Wireless filters can be used for multiple applications including blacklisting malicious devices as well as providing an additional layer of security less secure WLANs by restricting access to specific devices. Wireless filters may be applied to the RF Switch using the CLI or Web UI or from an AirDefense Enterprise server when a threat is detected.
Restrictions:
Wireless filters are only used to allow or deny MUs from associating with a WLAN and are not intended to be used to filter layer 2 traffic passing through the RF Switch. To restrict or limit traffic at layer 2, MAC firewall rules can be created which permits or denies traffic based on specific or wildcard source  or destination MAC addresses.
