  • 1.  How to block all Wireless traffic when an Ethernet interface is active

    Posted Jul 03, 2012 04:32 PM

    Hi Everyone,

    I am interested to know if anyone has successfully deployed a policy in ADC that blocks wifi and other types of devices which are network capable when ethernet is active.  I see the article http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH104970 which explains how to do this for ethernet and wifi, but I am hoping to go a step further.  Also, if there were no ethernet detect but wifi is in use, I would like to block other network capable devices.  

    Thanks in advance,

    Bob

    I've seen customers be successful in using the document that you noted.  What's the "step further" that you're wanting to take?

    I have seen some cases where a new BIOS update would give us this feature.

    We do not block the traffic we set metrics on the inferfaces.
