Access Control

RUCKUS Unleashed provides several options for controlling access to your networks, including Layer 2/MAC address-level access control lists (ACLs), Layer 3/Layer 4/IP address ACLs, device access policies to control clients by OS type, and client isolation allowlists, which are necessary when Wireless Client Isolation is enabled on a WLAN.

Configuring Access Control

In this section:

  1. Creating a Layer 2/MAC Address Access Control List
  2. Creating a Layer 3/Layer 4/IP Address Access Control List
  3. Configuring Device Access Policies
    In response to the ever-growing numbers of personally owned mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, being brought into the network, IT departments are requiring more sophisticated control over how devices connect, what types of devices can connect, and what they are allowed to do once connected.
  4. Configuring Client Isolation Allowlists
    When Wireless Client Isolation is enabled on a WLAN, all communication between clients and other local devices is blocked at the access point.
  5. URL Filtering
    URL filtering allows administrators to manage internet usage by preventing access to inappropriate websites using a customizable combination of blocklists and allowlists.
