AT-TQ2450 Wireless Access Point User’s Guide
55
Here are the guidelines for VIDs:
The range is 1 to 4094.
The default is VID 1.
You may assign the same VID to more than one VAP.
A VAP can have only one VID.
The number is ignored for wireless clients who are assigned VIDs
from a RADIUS server because VIDs from a RADIUS server take
precedence over the number in this field. Consequently, if you
configure the security on a VAP to 802.1X or WPA Enterprise, both
of which require a RADIUS server, the value in this field is ignored
for clients who have VIDs in their RADIUS accounts.
If you use 802.1x security for a VAP and activate Require VLAN ID
in Dynamic VLAN, the VID for the dynamic VLAN must come from
the client accounts on the RADIUS server.
5. Select the SSID field and enter a name for the VAP. Here are the
guidelines:
A VAP must have a name.
A name can be from 1 to 32 characters.
Spaces are allowed.
You may assign the same name to more than one VAP.
6. Click the Broadcast SSID dialog box to either enable or disable the
broadcast of the SSID of the VAP by the radio on the access point.
When the dialog box has a check mark, the default setting, the access
point transmits the SSID to advertise the VAP to the clients. When the
dialog box is empty, the access point does not advertise the VAP.
Clients who want to connect to a VAP that is not advertised have to
know its name.
7. From the Security pull-down menu, select the security method for the
VAP and configure the security settings. The security options are
described in the following sections:
“No Security” on page 57
“IEEE 802.1x Security” on page 57
“Static WEP” on page 59
“WPA Enterprise” on page 62
“WPA Personal” on page 65
The default security level for VAPs is None, which does not provide
authentication or packet encryption for VAPs.
