enhance your network security.
MAC Filtering
Profile Select a MAC filtering profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can
use the

MAC filtering allows you to limit the wireless clients connecting to your network through a
particular SSID by wireless client MAC addresses. Any clients that have MAC addresses not
in the MAC filtering profile of allowed addresses are denied connections.
The disable setting means no MAC filtering is used.
Layer-2 Isolation
Profile Select a layer-2 isolation profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you
can use the
Create new Object menu to create one.
Layer-2 isolation allows you to prevent wireless clients associated with your NWA/WAC
from communicating with other wireless clients, APs, computers or routers in a network.
The disable setting means no layer-2 isolation is used.
