Excluding clients from Mobility 7131 association
Optionally, use the Mobility 7131 Access Control List ACL to specify which Clients
can or cannot gain access to a Mobility 7131 managed WLAN. By default, all
Wireless Clients can gain access. For specific information on configuring
(restricting) Client access, refer to the Mobility 7131 Product Reference Guide. The
guide is available at
http://www.brocade.com/support/ .
Testing mobile unit connectivity
Verify the Mobility 7131’s link with an Client by sending Wireless Network
Management Protocol (WNMP) ping packets to the associated Client. Use the
Echo
Test screen to specify a target Client and configure the parameters of the ping test.
The WNMP ping test only works with Brocade Clients. Only use a Brocade Client to
test Mobility 7131 connectivity using WNMP. To ping a specific Client to assess its
connection with a Mobility 7131:
NOTE
Before testing for connectivity, the target Client needs to be set to the same ESSID
as the Mobility 7131. Since WEP 128 has been configured for the Mobility 7131, the
Client also needs to be configured for WEP 128 and use the same WEP keys. Ensure
the Client is associated with the Mobility 7131 before testing for connectivity.
