1.1.5 Rogue AP Enhancements

With the 2.1 release of the access point firmware, the access point now has the option to scan for
rogues over all channels on both of the access point's 11a and 11bg radio bands. The switching of
radio bands is based on a timer with no user intervention required.
For information on configuring the access point for Rogue AP support, see
Detection on page

1.1.6 Bandwidth Management Enhancements

Use the Bandwidth Management screen to control the network bandwidth allotted to individual
WLANs. Define a weighted scheme as needed when WLAN traffic supporting a specific network
segment becomes critical. Bandwidth management is configured on a per-WLAN basis. However,
with this latest version 2.1 release, a separate tab has been created for each access point radio. With
this new segregated radio approach, bandwidth management can be configured uniquely for
individual WLANs on different access point radios.
For information on configuring bandwidth management, see
Settings on page 5-63.

1.1.7 Radius Time-Based Authentication

An external server maintains a users and groups database used by the access point for access
permissions. Various kinds of access policies can be applied to each group. With this latest 2.1
version access point firmware, individual groups can be configured with their own time-based access
policy. Each group's policy has a user defined interval defining the days and hours access is permitted.
Authentication requests for users belonging to the group are honored only during these defined hourly
intervals.
