Device Categorization – Indicates a device categorization policy is being applied. This is
used by the intrusion prevention system to categorize APs or wireless clients as either
neighbors or sanctioned devices. This enables these devices to bypass the intrusion
prevention system.
Captive Portal – States a captive portal is being applied. Captive portal is used to
provide temporary controller, service platform, or access point access to requesting
wireless clients.
DNS Whitelist – A DNS whitelist is used in conjunction with captive portal to provide
captive portal services to wireless clients.
DHCP Server Policy – Indicates a DHCP server policy is being applied. DHCP provides IP
addresses to wireless clients. A DHCP server policy configures how DHCP provides
these IP addresses.
RADIUS Group – Indicates the configuration of RADIUS Group is being defined and
applied. A RADIUS group is a collection of RADIUS users with the same set of
permissions.
RADIUS User Pools – States a RADIUS user pool is being applied. RADIUS user pools
are a set of IP addresses that can be assigned to an authenticated RADIUS user.
RADIUS Server Policy – Indicates a RADIUS server policy is being applied. RADIUS
server policy is a set of configuration attributes used when a RADIUS server is
configured for AAA.
Smart Caching Policy – Smart Caching enables NX4500 and NX6500 series service
platforms to temporarily store frequently accessed Web content on network
infrastructure devices.
Management Policy – Indicates a management policy is being applied. Management
policies are used to configure access control, authentication, traps and administrator
permissions.
MeshConnex Policy – Indicates a mesh connex policy is being applied. MeshConnex is
a hybrid proactive/on-demand path selection protocol to form efficient mesh paths.
Mesh QoS Policy – Indicates a mesh quality of service policy is being applied. This
policy ensures that each mesh point in the network receives a fair share of overall
bandwidth for its use.
Virtual Controller APs – Indicates an AP is configured as a Virtual Controller access
point. A Virtual Controller access point can manage up to 24 access points of similar
type deployed in a network.
