At the center of Apple and Cisco collaboration is a unique
handshake between Cisco WLAN and iOS 10 beta Apple
devices. This handshake enables Cisco WLAN to provide an
optimal Wi-Fi roaming experience to Apple devices.
Additionally, Cisco WLAN trusts Apple devices and gives
priority treatment for business-critical apps specified by the
Apple devices.

URL filtering for domains
An additional level of security has been added for wireless
by allowing blacklisting or whitelisting of a specific set of
URL domains. Domain filtering allows administrators to
define an HTTP URL-based access control list (ACL) in
order to allow or disallow traffic.

order to allow or disallow traffic.
The URL filtering feature helps optimize network
bandwidth utilization by restricting access to
websites. This feature enables you to build URL
ACLs that can either permit or deny access to
websites. These ACLs can be applied to locations,
access point groups, WLAN profiles, and trusted
and nontrusted clients within the same SSID.
