4.5.1.1 Editing the WLAN Configuration
Security measures for the switch and its WLANs are critical. Use the available switch security options to
protect each WLAN from wireless vulnerabilities, and secure the transmission of RF packets between WLANs
and the MU traffic they support.
The user has the capability of configuring separate security policies for each WLAN. Each security policy can
be configured based on the authentication (Kerberos, 802.1x EAP, Hotspot) and /or encryption (WEP, KeyGuard,
WPA/WPA2-TKIP or WPA2/CCMP) scheme.
All of the default WLANs are available for modification when the user accesses the Wireless LANs screen.
However, the WLAN requires an authentication or encryption scheme be applied before it can begin securing
the data traffic within the switch-managed wireless network. The Edit screen provides a mean of modifying
the existing WLANs SSID, description, VLAN ID assignment, inter-WLAN communication definition and
encryption and authentication scheme. To edit WLAN configuration settings:
1. Select
