1.2.8.9 Content Filtering
Content filtering allows system administrators to block specific commands and URL extensions from
going out through the WAN port. Therefore, content filtering affords system administrators selective
control on the content proliferating the network and is a powerful screening tool. Content filtering
allows the blocking of up to 10 files or URL extensions and allows blocking of specific outbound HTTP,
SMTP, and FTP requests.
For detailed information on configuring content filtering support, see
Configuring Content Filtering

1.2.9 VLAN Support
A
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
can electronically separate data on the same AP from a single
broadcast domain into separate broadcast domains. By using a VLAN, you can group by logical
function instead of physical location. There are 16 VLANs supported on the access point. An
administrator can map up to 16 WLANs to 16 VLANs and enable or disable dynamic VLAN
assignment. In addition to these 16 VLANs, the access point supports dynamic, user-based, VLANs
when using EAP authentication.
VLANs enable organizations to share network resources in various network segments within large
areas (airports, shopping malls, etc.). A VLAN is a group of clients with a common set of requirements
independent of their physical location. VLANs have the same attributes as physical LANs, but they
enable administrators to group clients even when they are not members of the same network
segment.
For detailed information on configuring VLAN support, see
Configuring VLAN Support on page 5-5

•
Java-Based Web UI
•
Human readable config file (imported via FTP or TFTP)
•
MIB (Management Information Base)

Command Line Interface (CLI)
