Network Wide Client Isolation Performance

[Piotr_Charkiewicz]

Hi All,

I know you can enable Wide Client Isolation on Cambium APs, which I believe is a good option for Guest/Public Wifi. I was wondering what is the performance degradation if we would enable that? Is that significantly raise AP CPU/Memory usage ?

I was thinking to enable that for two WLANs and just worry about any complication coming from it?

Kind Regards,
Piotr

Hi @Piotr_Charkiewicz
Enabling Client Isolation will not affect the AP’s performance.

Does activating the client isolation mean a reboot in the AP and the consequent disconnection of the clients?

Typically anything involving a change to the radio or ethernet interfaces results in a reboot.

[Edues (Eduardo Esquembri Agudo)]

A reboot of the interfaces?
or a complete restart of the AP?

[Eric_Ozrelic]

A complete reboot of the radio.

Thanks Eric,

Please excuse my clumsiness,
I understand that you are referring to a reboot of the Access Point,
a radio is an interface to the AP, and perhaps restarting it means less impact on the service.

ation mean a reboot in the AP and the consequent disconnection of the clients?

Hi @Edues
Enabling or disabling Client Isolation will not reboot the AP. It is a WLAN configuration; hence, the clients connected to the WLAN will be disconnected during the configuration update.
