are subject to guest access policies, such as redirection and subnet access
restrictions.
NOTE
When Guest Access or Wireless Client Isolation (below) is enabled, the
SpeedFlex Wireless Performance tool may not function properly. For example,
SpeedFlex may be inaccessible to users at
http://%7Bzonedirector-ip-address%7D/perf
or SpeedFlex may prompt you to install
the SpeedFlex application on the target client, even when it is already installed. Before
using SpeedFlex, verify that both Guest Access and Wireless Client Isolation options
are disabled. For more information on SpeedFlex, refer to
on page 339.

Autonomous
: Autonomous WLANs are special WLANs designed to continue
providing service to clients when APs are disconnected from ZoneDirector. See
on page 143.

Social Media
: Social Media WLANs require the visitor to log in using a social media
account before being allowed Internet access. See
on page

Autonomous WLANs
The Autonomous WLAN usage type supports Open authentication and WPA2
(WPA2/WPA-Mixed), WEP, or no encryption only. In this configuration, client
authentication/association requests are processed at the access point and are not
forwarded to ZoneDirector. The AP maintains connections to authorized clients and
continues providing wireless service after disconnection from ZoneDirector.
NOTE
If AP Auto Recovery is enabled (
Configure > Access Points > Access Point
Policies
), the APs will reboot after the specified time. Therefore Auto Recovery should
be disabled if at least one Autonomous WLAN is configured.
There are several limitations of autonomous WLANs, including:
• ZoneDirector displayed client statistics may be incorrect.
• Stations may be disconnected when an unreachable ZoneDirector becomes reachable
again, as ZoneDirector will re-deploy all WLAN services to AP radios.
• Client capacity limits defined on ZoneDirector will not be applied on Autonomous
WLAN APs, and clients may be disconnected upon reconnecting to ZoneDirector if
those limits are reached.
• The following features are not supported with Autonomous WLANs:
