Access Control

Access Control is a data security process. Access control policies are created to identify and verify the users to ensure approriate access is granted to the user. The main aim of access control is to protect data and assets by reducing the risk of unauthorised intrusions.

In this section:

  1. Virtual LAN
  2. Restricted Access
    The Restricted Access profile can be created without having any blocked ports or enabling well known and additional entries in the whitelist ports. The Restricted Access Point (AP) profile can be configured multiple ways through SmartZone user interface.
  3. Creating Blocked Client
    You can deny access to the network for specific clients by using the block client access control feature. Client blocking is configured on a per-client, per-zone basis.
  4. Creating a Client Isolation Whitelist
    This feature allows the administrator to manually specify a list of approved wired destinations that may be reachable by wireless clients.
  5. Creating a Time Based Access Table
    You can control client access to the network by providing a time schedule. This security measure restricts the access based on specific time parameters.
  6. Creating a Traffic Class Profile
    A traffic class allows you to classify traffic according to a set of criteria that you define, such as source and destination IP addresses.
  7. Creating a DNS Server Profile
    A DNS server profile allows you to specify the primary and secondary address of the DNS server for devices to identify the host name within the specified zone.
  8. Creating a DNS Spoofing Profile
    A DNS spoofing profile allows you to specify individual Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) entries to bypass DNS resolution and provide clients with the result specified in the associated rules.
  9. Enabling the Access Control of Management Interface
