Enabling and Disabling Public Secure Packet Forwarding
Public Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF) prevents client devices associated to an access point from
inadvertently sharing files with other client devices on the wireless network. It provides Internet access
to client devices without providing other capabilities of a LAN. With PSPF enabled, client devices
cannot communicate with other client devices on the wireless network. This feature is useful for public
wireless networks like those installed in airports or on college campuses.
To enable and disable PSPF using IOS commands, you use bridge groups. You can find a detailed
explanation of bridge groups and instructions for implementing them in this document:
•
You can also enable and disable PSPF using the web-browser interface. The PSPF setting is on the
Radio-802.11b Settings page.
PSPF is disabled by default. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable PSPF:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface dot11radio 0
Step 3
bridge-group group port-protected Enable PSPF.
Step 4
end
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Use the no form of the command to disable PSPF.
