FYI,

While not directly AstLinux related, I have two Apple AirPort 802.11ac 
Extreme's (ME918LL/A) configured as Access Points (Bridge Mode).

While the AirPort Extreme's are rock-solid, the optional "Guest Network" (while 
used as an Access Point) never worked properly with a standard VLAN switch.  
Yesterday (May 24, 2016), Apple *finally* fixed the issue with Firmware Update 
7.7.7 .

More specifically, the optional "Guest Network" feature, when enabled using 
Bridge Mode (AP), isolates the guest traffic by tagging the packets over VLAN 
1003.  Previously this feature 'sort-of' worked but performance was very poor 
due to a packet loss bug.  Now with Firmware Update 7.7.7 the "Guest Network" 
over VLAN 1003 has the same performance as the native un-tagged network.

Within AstLinux you can define a Network tab -> VLANS: such as "eth1.1003" 
which can be defined as a unique Internal Interface so all "Guest Network" 
wireless clients are isolated from all other networks by default.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
