Configuring basic WLAN security settings

To configure a basic security policy for a WLAN:

NOTE

A VPN tunnel must also be established to ensure the access point is using a secure connection to
the external server providing NTP, syslog or Radius resources. For more information, see

“Defining

an IPSec VPN tunnel”

on page 52.

1. From the Quick Setup screen, click the Create button to the right of the Security Policy item.

At a minimum, a basic security scheme (in this case WPA2/CCMP) is recommended in a
network environment where sensitive data is transmitted.

NOTE

For information on configuring the other encryption and authentication options available to the
Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point, see

“Configuring security options”

on page 161.

2. Ensure the Name of the security policy entered suits the intended configuration or function of

the policy.

Multiple WLANs can share the same security policy, so be careful not to name security policies
after specific WLANs or risk defining a WLAN to single policy. Brocade recommends naming the
policy after the attributes of the authentication or encryption type selected.

3. Select the WPA2/CCMP (802.11i) checkbox.
