Example Configuration

This section describes how to use the WLAN Basic Configuration page to configure a WLAN to provide network access for company employees who use wireless PCs. Employees are typically validated against a corporate database on an authentication server before they are allowed access to the network. Once validated, users are placed into a specified VLAN on the corporate network.

In this example, the WLAN has the following characteristics:

•SSID: corpnet

•Radio Type: 802.11 b/g

•Authentication: WPA

•Encryption: KIP

•VLAN: 10

A RADIUS server is used to authenticate users. The following is the RADIUS server information for this example:

•Server Name: RadiusO1

•IP Address: 0.3.22.253

•Authentication Port: 1812

•Acct Port: 1813
