NOTE
When the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point is first launched, a single security policy
(default) is available and mapped to WLAN 1. It is anticipated numerous additional security
policies will be created as the list of WLANs grows.
Configuring a WLAN security scheme with a discussion of all the authentication and encryption
options available is beyond the scope of this . See
“Configuring Access Point Security”
page 161 for more details on configuring Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point security.
For detailed information on the authentication and encryption options available specifically to
Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Points and how to configure them, see to

Configuring a WLAN Access Control List (ACL)
An Access Control List (ACL) affords a system administrator the ability to grant or restrict MU
access by specifying a MU MAC address or range of MAC addresses to either include or exclude
from Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point connectivity. Use the Mobile Unit Access Control
List Configuration screen to create new ACL policies (using the New MU ACL Policy sub-screen) or
edit existing policies (using the Edit MU ACL Policy sub-screen). Once new policies are defined, they
are available for use within the New WLAN or Edit WLAN screens to assign to specific WLANs based
on MU interoperability requirements.
Brocade recommends using the New MU ACL Policy or Edit MU ACL Policy screens strategically to
name and configure ACL policies meeting the requirements of the particular WLANs they may map
to. However, be careful not to name policies after specific WLANs, as individual ACL policies can be
used by more than one WLAN. For detailed information on assigning ACL policies to specific
WLANs, see
