I've found a number of 'Hotspot-in-a-box' units have a feature marketed as 'inter-VLAN security'. Essentially, with this enabled, STA's only see traffic to the AP & back, not other STA's (associated to the same AP).
Funky indeed, 'security though obscurity'. I haven't broken out a 802.11 frame sniffer (yet), wondering how this is technically done and expierences deploying this? It would seem like all the Hotspot players would jump on this, as a "security" solution. The most 'famous' box, seems to be Handspring's WSG-4000 (relabeled from ZyXEL, DemarcTech, etc) <http://www.handlink.com.tw/eng/products/hotspot/WSG4000/products_hotspot_wsg4000.htm>. -- Matt Peterson another.geek.without.a.life [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://matt.peterson.org/ ------------------------------------------------- -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
