- Dynamic WEP
- WPA Personal
- WPA Enterprise
If you select a security mode other than None, additional fields appear.
NOTE We recommend using WPA Personal or WPA Enterprise as the
authentication type as it provides stronger security protection. Use Static
WEP or Dynamic WEP only for legacy wireless computers or devices that do
not support WPA Personal/Enterprise. If you need to set security as Static
WEP or Dynamic WEP, configure Radio as 802.11a or 802.11b/g mode (see
Radio). The 802.11n mode restricts the use of Static or Dynamic WEP as the
security mode.
• MAC Filtering—Specifies whether the stations that can access this VAP are
restricted to a configured global list of MAC addresses. You can select one
of these types of MAC filtering:
- Disabled—Do not use MAC filtering.
- Local—Use the MAC Authentication list that you configure on the MAC
Filtering page.
- RADIUS—Use the MAC Authentication list on an external RADIUS server.
• Channel Isolation—Enables and disables station isolation.
- When disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another
normally by sending traffic through the WAP device.
- When enabled, the WAP device blocks communication between
wireless clients on the same VAP. The WAP device still allows data traffic
between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, across a
WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP,
but not among wireless clients.
STEP 5 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
!
CAUTION After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and
restarted. When this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will
least affect your wireless clients.
