Whether you use an open system with WEP or shared key with WEP, configure the settings

• Open system with WEP
An open system can function without any encryption or with pre-shared WEP key
encryption without RADIUS authentication. The security level of static WEP is not very
strong.
When you select Open System from the Network Authentication drop-down menu and
any selection other than None from the Data Encryption drop-down menu, the screen
expands to display the WEP fields:
Description
Enter the VLAN ID to be associated with this wireless security profile. The
default VLAN ID is 1. The VLAN ID needs to match the VLAN ID that is used by
the other devices in your network.
Access control functions only when static VLANs are enabled, that is, you select
Disable from the Dynamic VLAN drop-down menu.
The Access Control radio buttons let you enable or disable access control
through a RADIUS server for the wireless security the profile:
• Disable. Access control is disabled. This is the default setting.
• Enable. Access control is enabled, and wireless clients are authenticated
through a RADIUS server. Either the network authentication in the wireless
security profile or the remote MAC address database authentication for the
MAC Authentication feature needs to be enabled.
Note: You can use access control even when you do not configure WPA with
RADIUS or WPA2 with RADIUS.
Access control policy functions only when static VLANs are enabled, that is, you
select Disable from the Dynamic VLAN drop-down menu and you select the
Enable Access Control radio button.
The Access Control Policy radio buttons let you enable or disable the access
control policy for wireless clients:
• Disable. If a RADIUS server does not return a (static) VLAN ID, the
wireless client is still allowed to connect to the wireless access point. This is
the default setting.
• Enable. If a RADIUS server does not return a (static) VLAN ID, the wireless
client is not authenticated and cannot connect to the wireless access point.
