Configuring Spanning Tree Security

Note

If you are implementing an 802.1x security solution, secure IAPP and secure wireless hops are automatically enabled.

1.From the main menu, click Security > Spanning Tree Security. The Spanning Tree Security screen appears.

2.In the IAPP Secret Key field, enter a secret key. This secret key must be between 16 and 32 bytes.

3.Choose which authentication methods you want to use to authorize the access point to communicate with the network. For help, see the next table.

4.Check the Verify CA Certificate check box and enter the authentication server common names to verify that the access point is connecting to the correct authentication server. Allied Telesyn recommends that you perform this step because it provides another layer of security.
