3 | CONFIGURING WIRELESS SERVICES |
|
Overview | A service is a concept (not a selectable item in the 3wxm interface) that |
| represents a set of options you configure and deploy on your wireless |
| network. |
| Services are configured to provide various levels of wireless network |
| access to users, such as secure employee access, guest access, |
| |
| You can configure a service to be independent of other services on your |
| wireless network, or you may be able to share configuration components |
| among services. For example, |
| from other services (no shared configuration), while services that provide |
| for guest and employee access in a single corporation may share a |
| common radio profile. In this way, you can reuse part of the service |
| configuration for other services you want to provide. You could configure |
| a service for employee access; then reuse part of the configuration to |
| provide services for guest access. Each service has potential |
| authentications (802.1X, web page, MAC address, or “last resort”) and |
| potential encryptions (802.11i, WPA, WEP, or unencrypted). |
This chapter contains examples to help you configure the following types of service sets:
Employee access (802.1X)
Guest access (WebAAA)
Voice over IP (MAC AAA)
