Virtual network between a client and the router/AP ? in Wireless Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22296842 en Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:09:26 EDT Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:09:26 EDT Re: Virtual network between a client and the router/AP ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22346791 Angelo_ :

You want each client to be in its own /30? Maybe this is accomplished via dynamic VLANing and layer 3 switching?

This isn't exactly the same thing, but Cisco APs (at least the older 1230 series) have a feature called "Public Secure Packet Forwarding" also referred to as "client isolation" by other manufacturers. It's basically a way for associated stations from being able to communicate with one another. That should accomplish essentially the same thing as an isolated collision domain.
you mean wds?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22346791 Wed, 06 May 2009 06:17:24 EDT Re: Virtual network between a client and the router/AP ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22306858 lambition : Thanks.

Although it is not exactly what I mentioned, I think that is exactly what I needed. :)

It would be great if I can do that on wired network too, but it seems I will be needing Layer 3 switch. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22306858 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:01:02 EDT Re: Virtual network between a client and the router/AP ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22306113 docrice : You want each client to be in its own /30?

It won't be two networks if implementing what I explained above.
It will be like every Wi-Fi client has their own network. And since IP addresses will be given by DHCP server, I cannot predict what will have what IP. (unless DHCP server is programmed to work with it some how.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22305410 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:57:12 EDT Re: Virtual network between a client and the router/AP ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22305392 g3neration : Not sure why but wouldnt it be easier to add an ACL to deny traffic between the two networks?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22305392 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:52:36 EDT Virtual network between a client and the router/AP ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22296842 lambition : I want to create virtual network between a client and the router or AP, so that all other clients on the same network are invisible to the client.

I know it is possible because my school (university) does that. I knew what it is called, but now I have forgotten what it is called.

It creates a virtual network with subnet mask of 255.255.255.252, so that there can only be 2 IP addresses in the network. IP addresses are random.

Does any one know what it is called and how I can accomplish this?

Thank you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22296842 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:02:48 EDT
