WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual
Configuring WLANS 5-7
v1.0, June 2007
Example Configuration
This section describes how to use the WLAN Basic Configuration page to configure a WLAN to
provide network access for company employees who use wireless PCs. Employees are typically
validated against a corporate database on an authentication server before they are allowed access
to the network. Once validated, users are placed into a specified VLAN on the corporate network.
In this example, the WLAN has the following characteristics:
•SSID: corpnet
• Radio Type: 802.11 b/g
• Authentication: WPA
• Encryption: KIP
• VLAN: 10
A RADIUS server is used to authenticate users. The following is the RADIUS server information
for this example:
• Server Name: RadiusO1
• IP Address: 0.3.22.253
• Authentication Port: 1812
• Acct Port: 1813
Authentication Server Configures the RADIUS authentication server. (Activated only if the
authentication requires an authentication server and the server type is
RADIUS.)
If you have previously configured a RADIUS authentication server,
select the server from the drop-down list.
To configure a RADIUS server, click New and enter the following
information:
• Server name
• IP address of the server
• Authentication port
• Accounting port
• Shared key
Click Add when you are done. The information for the server appears.
If you are using an LDAP server or internal database for authentication,
you need to configure the authentication server by navigating to the
Configuration > Advanced > Security > AAA Servers page.
VLAN Specifies the user VLAN for wireless clients that associate to the SSID.
