6.2 Switch Policies

A Switch Policy acts as a container for many other policies, and contains an "adoption list" that controls the
types of access ports (APs) that can be adopted. Therefore, to be logical, the other policies and related
components—Security Policy, ACL List(s), WLANs, Ethernet Policy, and Access Port Policy—should be created
prior to creating the Switch Policy. (However, this is not mandatory. The Switch Policy Wizard allows the
administrator to create the "other" policies along the way, as well, if desired.)
To see the configuration hierarchy while creating an Wireless Switch Policy, click Where Am I? at any point.

6.2.1 Security Policies

A Security Policy defines the authentication and encryption methods used to secure communication between
the WS5000 Series switch, through its APs, and on to the mobile units. Each WLAN can have a different
security policy associated with it.
You can enable VPN authentication in the security policy only by using the CLI.
