Using IPSec MUVPN on a Firebox X Edge e-Series Wireless network

You must protect your wireless network from unauthorized access because the signal can go out of
your building. If you do not protect your network, unauthorized users can break into your network or
make use of your Internet connection.
Some wireless network cards cannot use the stronger Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) encryp-
tion and instead use weaker Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to secure the data that goes through the
airwaves.
You can increase the security of your wireless trusted or optional network users when you make the
wireless computer users authenticate as IPSec MUVPN clients. This makes the Firebox® X Edge e-Series
restrict traffic through the firewall unless the wireless computer has connected using an IPSec MUVPN
tunnel.
To make sure wireless computers authenticate as IPSec MUVPN clients:
To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
1
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
Select Network > Trusted or Network > Optional and go to the Wireless tab.
2
Select the check box Require encrypted MUVPN connections for wireless clients.
3
Click Submit.
