Check Content
1. Review the relevant configuration screen of the WLAN controller or access point. 2. Verify the inactive/idle session timeout setting is set for 30 minutes or less. If the inactive/idle session timeout is not set to 30 minutes or less for the entire WLAN, or the WLAN does not have the capability to enable the session timeout feature, this is a finding.
