This task is part of the network policy configuration
workflow. Use this task to to configure the options for Private Client Groups.
-
On the 2 Wireless page
for the policy, under SSID Usage, select Private Pre-Shared
Key.
-
Select Private Group
Options.
-
Select AP-Based or
Key-Based.
AP-Based PCG mode requires a unique user and shared
keys. This mode supports common shared devices within personal network
spaces. It also requires room assignments for AP anchoring and traffic
tunneling.
Key-Based PCG requires one password used by the entire
device group. Key-based PCG does not require room assignments for AP
anchoring and traffic tunneling.
-
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 depends solely on site requirements.
