Client Classification
The
Client
Classification
Screen
lets you classify the existing wireless clients into trusted networks and untrusted
networks. New client information is received from Linksys Business Series access points. New clients start off as
Unclassified until the System Administrator classifies them. A Trusted Client is one that has been identified by the
System Administrator to be known and legitimate. An Untrusted Client is one that is known and not legitimate;
this client could be a malicious client or simply a neighborhood client not part of the network. Remaining clients
that have not been classified can be considered as unclassified or unknown.

lists the clients that have been classified as

classified as
Untrusted.
