Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point You configure secure wireless client access by configuring security for each virtual access point (VAP) that you enable. You can configure up to 16 VAPs per radio that simulate multiple APs in one physical access point. By default, only one VAP is enabled. For each VAP, you can configure a unique security mode to control wireless client access. Each radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0‐15. By default, only VAP 0 on each radio is enabled. VAP0 has the following default settings: • VLAN ID: 1 • Broadcast SSID: Enabled • SSID: dlink1 • Security: None • MAC Authentication Type: None • Redirect Mode: None All other VAPs are disabled by default. The default SSID for VAPs 1-15 is "dlinkx" where x is the VAP ID. To prevent unauthorized access to the UAP, we recommend that you select and configure a security option other than None for the default VAP and for each VAP that you enable. For information about how to configure the security settings on each VAP, see "Virtual Access Point Settings" on page 70. D-Link November 2011 Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide Page 29

Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point
You configure secure wireless client access by configuring security for each virtual access point (VAP) that you
enable. You can configure up to 16 VAPs per radio that simulate multiple APs in one physical access point. By
default, only one VAP is enabled. For each VAP, you can configure a unique security mode to control wireless
client access.
Each radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0
‐
15. By default, only VAP 0 on each radio is enabled. VAP0 has the
following default settings:
•
VLAN ID: 1
•
Broadcast SSID: Enabled
•
SSID: dlink1
•
Security: None
•
MAC Authentication Type: None
•
Redirect Mode: None
All other VAPs are disabled by default. The default SSID for VAPs 1–15 is "dlink
x"
where
x
is the VAP ID.
To prevent unauthorized access to the UAP, we recommend that you select and configure a security option
other than None for the default VAP and for each VAP that you enable.
For information about how to configure the security settings on each VAP, see
“Virtual Access Point Settings”
on page 70
