security requirements of the WLAN. Once new policies are defined, they are available within the
New WLAN or Edit WLAN screens and can be mapped to any WLAN. A single security policy can
be used by more than one WLAN if its logical to do so. For example, there may be two or more WLANs
within close proximity of each other requiring the same data protection scheme.
To create a new security policy or modify an existing policy:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Security from the AP-5131 menu tree.
The Security Configuration screen appears with existing policies and their attributes
displayed.
Configuring a WLAN security scheme with a discussion of all the authentication and
encryption options available is beyond the scope of this chapter. See Chapter 6, Configuring
Access Point Security on page 6-1 for more details on configuring AP-5131 security.
For detailed information on the authentication and encryption options available to the
AP-5131 and how to configure them, see to Configuring Security Options on page 6-2 and
locate the section that describes your intended security scheme.
NOTE When the AP-5131 is first launched, a single security policy (default) is
available and mapped to WLAN 1. It is anticipated numerous additional
security policies will be created as the list of WLANs grows.
