Wireless LAN Security Setup
This chapter describes the types of security you can enable on the ZyWALL. Wireless LAN is
available on the ZyWALL 2WE.
8.1 Introduction to Wireless LAN Security
Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless clients, access
points and other wireless. Use the web configurator to configure your ZyWALL’s wireless LAN security
settings. Refer to the Introducing the Web Configurator chapter for details on how to access and navigate the
web configurator
8.2 Levels of Security
The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your ZyWALL. The highest security level is
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication. It requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote
Authentication Dial In User Service) server either on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication
service for wireless clients.
Figure 8-1 ZyWALL Wireless Security Levels
If you do not enable any wireless security on your ZyWALL, your network is accessible to any wireless
networking device that is within range.
Use the ZyWALL web configurator to configurator to set up your wireless LAN security settings. Refer to
the chapter on using the ZyWALL web configurator to see how to access the web configurator.
