Section 4 - Managing the Access Point

Field Description

Broadcast SSID Specify whether to allow the AP to broadcast the Service Set Identier (SSID) in its beacon

frames. The Broadcast SSID parameter is enabled by default. When the VAP does not

broadcast its SSID, the network name is not displayed in the list of available networks on

a client station. Instead, the client must have the exact network name congured in the

supplicant before it is able to connect.

•) To enable the SSID broadcast, select the Broadcast SSID check box.

•) To prohibit the SSID broadcast, clear the Broadcast SSID check box.

Note: Disabling the broadcast SSID is sufcient to prevent clients from accidentally

connecting to your network, but it will not prevent even the simplest of attempts by a hacker

to connect or monitor unencrypted trafc. Suppressing the SSID broadcast offers a very

minimal level of protection on an otherwise exposed network (such as a guest network)

where the priority is making it easy for clients to get a connection and where no sensitive

information is available.

Security Select one of the following Security modes for this VAP:

•) None

•) Static WEP

•) WPA Personal

•) IEEE 802.1X

•) WPA Enterprise

If you select a security mode other than None, additional elds appear. These elds are

explained below.

Note: The Security mode you set here is specically for this VAP.

MAC Authentication

Type

You can congure a global list of MAC addresses that are allowed or denied access to

the network. The drop-down menu for this feature allows you to select the type of MAC

Authentication to use:

•) Disabled: Do not use MAC Authentication.

•) Local: Use the MAC Authentication list that you congure on the MAC Authentication

page.

•) RADIUS: Use the MAC Authentication list on the external RADIUS server.

For more information about MAC Authentication, see “Controlling Access by MAC

Authentication” on page 63.

MFP (Management

Frame Protection)

Provides security for the otherwise unprotected and unencrypted 802.11 management

frames. This eld is visible only when wpa2 security and CCMP elds are enabled. Following

3 check box values can be congured for it.

• Not Required

• Capable

• Required

By default Not Required is selected. On selecting Required , Capable checkbox will be

selected and disabled.

Table 24 - Virtual Access Point Settings

Note: After you congure the VAP settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save

the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If

this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change

AP settings when WLAN trafc is low.

None (Plain-text)

If you select None as your security mode, no further options are congurable on the AP. This mode means that

any data transferred to and from the UAP is not encrypted. This security mode can be useful during initial network

conguration or for problem solving, but it is not recommended for regular use on the Internal network because it is

not secure.

Static WEP
