Getting Started Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point 1 ! CAUTION By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access your LAN, including unauthorized devices. An important next step is to configure security. Continue with Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point, page 24 for more information. 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 wireless radio that simulate multiple access points in one physical access point. For each VAP, you can configure a unique security mode to control wireless client access. Each wireless radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0-15. VAP 0, VAP 1, and VAP 2 have different default settings than VAPs 3-15. By default, VAP 0, VAP 1, and VAP 2 are enabled. VAP0 has the following default settings: • VLAN ID: 1 • SSID: cisco-data • Broadcast SSID: Enabled • Security: None • MAC Authentication Type: Disabled • Station Isolation: Disabled • HTTP Redirect: Disable VAP1 has the following default settings: • VLAN ID: 100 • SSID: cisco-voice • Broadcast SSID: Enabled • Security: None • MAC Authentication Type: Disabled Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 24
