3

•  Multiple SSID support (64 per MP, 32 per radio)
•  Any mix of crypto and authentication per SSID
•  Any VLAN topology per SSID
•  Unique portal page per SSID
•  Private or shared authentication

•  SmartPass

™

 enables fast and simple configuration for guest access

•  64 web portals for customized user group profiles
•  GuestTunneling to isolate guest traffic across the corporate network

•  802.n ready
•  Direct Data Path Forwarding enables local switching of data traffic in  

the Mobility Point or forwarding of data to Mobility Point upstream or 
downstream

•  Mobility Point configured by MX for Direct Data Path Forwarding

•  Wireless backhaul (P-P, P-MP) and Wireless bridging (P-P, P-MP)
•  Enterprise Ethernet mesh service with Mesh Portal and Mesh Access Point 

Services with Direct Data Path support

•  Integrated control and management with indoor Smart Mobile services

•  WiFi based active RFID location technology (client and network based)
•  Integrated with Location appliance

•  Command Line Interface (SSH v2)
•  WebView web access (https)

®

) 

•  SNMP v, v2c, v3

•  Automated MP Power/channel auto-tuning
•  Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)

•  Detailed per user session RF accounting statistics management
•  Tracks the location, roaming history, virtual private group, network 

addresses, state, activity, errors, usage and other attributes by user name, 
session, VLAN, user group or other

•  Categories selected by IT
•  Provides per user audit trail and chargeback capability through the 

accounting component of AAA

•  Configures and controls MP access points; controls third party APs
•  Boot, configuration and management model compliant with the IETF 

CAPWAP architecture.  The MX is categorized as an access controller 
(AC) that supports direct, switched, and routed connections.

•  Enable Data forwarding in MX or in MP with Smart Mobile technology
•  Multiple MXs provide resilient control

•  MP configured to switch data traffic locally or forwarded to the MPs 

downstream or upstream  

•  Optimizes network and MX capacity and performance 
•  Control retained in MX

•  Equalize the number of client sessions amongst groups of radios that have 

substantially overlapping coverage areas

•  Restore equality of numbers of sessions when an AP is added to a group or 

is brought back up after a transient failure

•  Allow a balanced group of APs to span multiple MX’s in a mobility domain

•  Enable client steering across bands for efficient usage of the available 

spectrum, and reduce network load on the congested 802.b/g band
