Editing the WLAN configuration

Security measures for the switch and its WLANs are critical. Use the available switch security
options to protect each WLAN from wireless vulnerabilities, and secure the transmission of RF
packets between WLANs and the MU traffic they support.

The user has the capability of configuring separate security policies for each WLAN. Each security
policy can be configured based on the authentication (Kerberos, 802.1x EAP, Hotspot) and /or
encryption (WEP, KeyGuard, WPA/WPA2-TKIP or WPA2/CCMP) scheme.

All of the default WLANs are available for modification when the user accesses the Wireless LANs
screen. However, the WLAN requires an authentication or encryption scheme be applied before it
can begin securing the data traffic within the switch-managed wireless network. The Edit screen
provides a mean of modifying the existing WLANs SSID, description, VLAN ID assignment,
inter-WLAN communication definition and encryption and authentication scheme. To edit WLAN
configuration settings:

1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.

2. Click the Configuration tab.

3. Select a WLAN to modify from the table.

4. Click the Edit button.

The Wireless LANs Edit screen is divided into the following user-configurable fields:
