Table 12. Wireless Network Configuration
Field | Description | |
RADIUS IP | If you use a RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients, you can use the | |
Address | same RADIUS server that you configure on the AAA/RADIUS tab for the | |
| profile, or you can specify a different RADIUS server. | |
| To specify a RADIUS server for this VAP, clear the Use Profile check box | |
| and enter the IP address of the RADIUS server in the field. | |
|
| |
RADIUS Secret | To enter a RADIUS secret, select the Edit check box and type the secret in | |
| the field. | |
|
| |
RADIUS | Select the RADIUS Accounting check box to enable accounting for wireless | |
Accounting | clients on the specified RADIUS server. | |
|
| |
Security | The default AP profile does not use any security mechanism by default. In | |
| order to protect your network, we strongly recommend that you select a | |
| security mechanism so that unauthorized wireless clients cannot gain access | |
| to your network. | |
| The following WLAN network security options are available: | |
| • | None |
| • | WEP |
| • | WPA/WPA2 |
| If you select WEP or WPA/WPA2 as your security mechanism, a dialogue | |
| box asks if you want to change network security. After you click OK, | |
| additional fields appear, and any network settings that you modified are | |
| applied to the switch. | |
“Configuring AP Security” on page 93 describes the security mechanisms and the additional fields you can configure if you select WEP or WPA/WPA2.
Enabling and Configuring Additional VAPs
When a wireless client searches for available wireless networks, each VAP you enable on the VAP tab appears as a separate network to the wireless client. Figure 39 shows an example of an AP Profile with five VAPs enabled. Each VAP uses a different network.
