Content Filtering

Content filtering allows system administrators to block specific commands and URL extensions

from going out through the Mobility 7131 Access Point WAN port. Therefore, content filtering

affords system administrators selective control on the content proliferating the network and is a

powerful screening tool. Content filtering allows the blocking of up to 10 files or URL extensions and

allows blocking of specific outbound HTTP, SMTP, and FTP requests.

For detailed information on configuring content filtering support, see Configuring Content Filtering

Settings on page 6-231.

VLAN Support

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) can electronically separate data on the same AP from a single

broadcast domain into separate broadcast domains. By using a VLAN, you can group by logical

function instead of physical location. There are 16 VLANs supported on the access point Mobility

7131 Access Point. An administrator can map up to 16 WLANs to 16 VLANs and enable or disable

dynamic VLAN assignment. In addition to these 16 VLANs, the access point supports dynamic,

user-based, VLANs when using EAP authentication.

VLANs enable organizations to share network resources in various network segments within large

areas (airports, shopping malls, etc.). A VLAN is a group of clients with a common set of

requirements independent of their physical location. VLANs have the same attributes as physical

LANs, but they enable administrators to group clients even when they are not members of the

same network segment.

For detailed information on configuring VLAN support, see Configuring VLAN Support on page

5-118.

Multiple Management Accessibility Options

The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point can be accessed and configured using one of the

7131 Access Point DB-9 serial port for direct access to the command-line interface from a PC.

Configuring System Settings on page 4-67) is older than the version on the Web site, Brocade

recommends updating the access point Mobility 7131 Access Point to the latest firmware version

For detailed information on updating the Mobility 7131 Access Point firmware using FTP or TFTP,

see Updating Device Firmware on page 4-109.
