Configuring General Wireless Settings

When you deploy a NetScreen-5GT Wireless as a WAP, the security device manages a
distribution system of one to eight basic service sets (BSSs). Each BSS uses a unique
name identifier, called a service set identifier (SSID). Each host within a BSS must have
the same SSID as that configured for that BSS on the security device. When configuring
the SSID, you bind each BSS to its own interface (and zone); segmenting BSSs enables
you to enforce different levels of device authentication and encryption for each zone,
and to create rules that control wireless traffic across zones.
NOTE: When security zones contain wireless and wired networks, they must
use separate subnets and connect to the device through different interfaces
with logically separate IP addresses.
The NetScreen-5GT Wireless security device supports up to 60 wireless clients
concurrently.
