  • Page 16: Protecting Your Wireless Lan

    After you assign basic settings to your IG-WL5G/E, you need to configure security settings to prevent unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the IG-WL5G-E can communicate beyond the physical boundaries of a building. Advanced security features are described in the following chapters: A unique SSID that is not broadcast in the beacon (see “Service Set Identifiers”...

    MN-OPERATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL IG-WL5G-E R.01.2009 with VLANs disabled, you cannot create additional SSIDs with WPA authentication because they use different encryption settings. If you find that the security setting for an SSID conflicts with another SSID, you can delete one or more SSIDs to eliminate the conflict.

    IP connectivity. 5.6 Configuring a System Name and Prompt You configure the system name on the IG-WL5G-E to identify it. A “greater than” symbol (>) is appended. The prompt is updated whenever the system name changes, unless you manually configure the prompt by using the prompt command in global configuration mode.
  • Page 22: Protecting Access To Privileged Exec Commands

    MN-OPERATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL IG-WL5G-E R.01.2009 5.7 Protecting Access to Privileged EXEC Commands A simple way of controlling terminal access in your network is to use passwords and assign privilege levels. Password protection restricts access to a network or network device. Privilege levels define what commands users can issue after they have logged into a network device.

    MN-OPERATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL IG-WL5G-E R.01.2009 An improper combination of transmit power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) that exceeds the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Note: This equipment must be used with an antenna with a gain below 10dB.

A VLAN consists of a number of end systems, either hosts or network equipment (such as bridges and routers), connected by a single bridging domain.
