Enable Private Client Group Options

Configure Private Pre-Shared Key SSID Authentication.

Use this procedure to enable the options for Private Client Groups.

  1. On the Wireless tab for the policy, under SSID Usage, select Private Group Options.
  2. Select AP-Based or Key-Based.
  3. If you selected Key-Based, select the following Private Client Groups Traffic Filtering options as required.
    • Enable Broadcast Filtering: When selected, broadcast frames are not propagated beyond the current PCG domain.
    • Enable Multicast Filtering: When selected, multicast frames are not propagated beyond the current PCG domain.
      • Enable MDNS (multicast DNS) Filtering—When applied, multicast DNS frames are not forwarded outside the PCG domain.
      • Enable SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol)—When enabled, SSDP frames are not forwarded outside of the PCG domain.

    When you select Multicast Filtering, both mDNS and SSDP filtering are auto-selected. If you do not select Multicast Filtering, you can independently select mDNS and SSDP filtering. This capability is solely dependent upon site requirements.
