This feature allows linking of several access points, virtually creating a larger
network infrastructure that allows mobile users to roam wirelessly, while still
being able to access network resources.

The unique Wireless Pseudo VLAN technology is a feature that allows wireless
clients to be segmented individually or into workgroups, thus blocking
access to another user’s/group’s PCs, and enhancing the privacy of the
wireless clients. This is especially useful in public hotspot deployment.

The access point supports the highest available wireless security standard:
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. WPA2 has two different modes: WPA2-Personal for
SOHO users and WPA2-Enterprise for Enterprise users. The access point also
supports IEEE 802.1x for secure and centralized user-based authentication.
Wireless clients are thus required to authenticate through highly secure
methods like EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP, in order to obtain access to
the network.

Spanning-Tree Protocol provides path redundancy while preventing
undesirable loops in the network. It forces certain redundant data paths into
a standby (blocked) state. If one network segment in the Spanning-Tree
Protocol becomes unreachable, or if Spanning-Tree Protocol costs change,
the spanning-tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning-tree topology and
re-establishes the link by activating the standby path.
