Other Wireless Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the Layer-2 Isolation and MAC Filter screens on
your ZyXEL Device.
8.1 Layer-2 Isolation Introduction
Layer-2 isolation is used to prevent wireless clients associated with your ZyXEL Device from
communicating with other wireless clients, APs, computers or routers in a network.
In the following example, layer-2 isolation is enabled on the ZyXEL Device (
Z , in the figure)
to allow a guest wireless client ( A ) to access the main network router ( B ), the router providing
Internet access ( C ), and the network printer ( D ) 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.
"
In the Wireless configuration screen, Intra-BSS Traffic Blocking is activated
when you enable layer-2 isolation.
