Wireless Access

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

quick question regarding Roles & Policies. Can I limit the bandwitdh in "Roles & Policies -> Advanced View" without the PEF license or even limit bandwitdh for applications like Facebook? As I can do the captive portal without, I assume it should work, right? I can't test it right now, that is why I am asking you guys.

Thank you very much,

Raffael

Not 100% sure but pretty sure you will need to PEF license for that.

The datasheet seems to indicate bandwidth control as a PEF feature:

"PEF features controls that optimize WLAN bandwidth
utilization. Role-based policies can limit the maximum
amount of bandwidth consumption for a particular user or
class of users, and prevents power users from monopolizing
network resources."

Unless someone says otherwise, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I believe @koen is correct. The PEF license is required for DPI and DPI is used to identify web based applications such as Facebook and so on.
