-Dynamic WEP

-WPA Personal

-WPA Enterprise

If you select a security mode other than None, additional fields appear.

These fields are explained in Configuring Security Settings.

NOTE We recommend using WPA Personal or WPA Enterprise as the authentication type as it provides stronger security protection. Use Static WEP or Dynamic WEP only for legacy wireless computers or devices that do not support WPA Personal/Enterprise. If you need to set security as Static WEP or Dynamic WEP, configure Radio as 802.11a or 802.11b/g mode (see Radio). The 802.11n mode restricts the use of Static or Dynamic WEP as the security mode.

•MAC Filtering—Specifies whether the stations that can access this VAP are restricted to a configured global list of MAC addresses. You can select one of these types of MAC filtering:

-Disabled—Do not use MAC filtering.

-Local—Use the MAC Authentication list that you configure on the MAC Filtering page.

-RADIUS—Use the MAC Authentication list on an external RADIUS server.

•Channel Isolation—Enables and disables station isolation.

-When disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic through the WAP device.

-When enabled, the WAP device blocks communication between wireless clients on the same VAP. The WAP device still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP, but not among wireless clients.

STEP 4 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.

!

CAUTION After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and restarted. When this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We recommend that you change WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will least affect your wireless clients.
