QoS. Quality of Service (QoS) support lets you configure parameters that affect traffic
flowing from the wireless access point to the client station and traffic flowing from the
client station to the wireless access point:
- The QoS settings let you prioritize traffic, such as voice and video traffic, so that
packets do not get dropped.
- The Qo
S policies let you configure classifications (match clauses) and apply traffic to
eight priority queues based on IP precedence, DSCP, MAC address, IP address, and
other information that might be present in Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet headers.
W
ireless IDS/IPS. The wireless intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention
system (IPS) can detect and prevent a variety of wireless attacks. Attacks are covered by
preconfigured policy rules. When an attack occurs, the wireless access point can notify a
network administrator though an email.
Hot
spot support. You can allow all HTTP (TCP, port 80) requests to be captured and
redirected to the URL you specify.
Rogue AP and
ad hoc network detection. Rogue AP filtering and ad hoc network
detection ensure that unknown APs and networks are not given access to any part of the
secured wireless and wired LAN.
Access
control. MAC address filtering can ensure that only trusted wireless stations can
use the wireless access point to gain access to the wireless and wired LAN.
Security profil
es. When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security
settings (encryption, SSID, and so on) for each BSSID.
Hidden m
ode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring that only clients configured with the
correct SSID can connect.
Secure T
elnet command-line interface. The secure Telnet command-line interface

Secure an
d economical operation. Adjustable power output allows more secure or
economical operation.
PoE support. Using Po
wer over Ethernet (PoE), any 802.3af-compliant midspan or
end-span source can supply power to the wireless access point over its Ethernet port.
Autosens
ing Ethernet connection with Auto Uplink™ interface. Connects to
10/100/1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
LED indicat
ors. Power/Test, Active, LAN, and WLAN for each radio mode are easily
identified.
