When you assign multiple SSIDs, this setting no longer appears. Protecting Your Wireless LAN After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure security settings to prevent unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the access point can communicate beyond the physical boundaries of your building. Configure some combination of these security features to protect your network from intruders: • Unique SSIDs that are not broadcast in the access point beacon (see Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points) • WEP and additional WEP features, such as TKIP and broadcast key rotation (see Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points) Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 3-8 OL-4310-01
