Public Secure Packet
Forwarding
Public Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF) prevents client devices associated to an
access point from inadvertently sharing files or communicating with other client
devices associated to the access point. It provides Internet access to client devices
without providing other capabilities of a LAN. This feature is useful for public
wireless networks like those installed in airports or on college campuses.
To enable and disable PSPF by using CLI commands on the wireless access point,
you use bridge groups. You can find a detailed explanation of bridge groups and
instructions for implementing them in this document:
