Using the CLI
To enter the WLAN Profile level:
enable > configure > wlan profiles
Using XML
Include in your file:
<configgroup name="wlan profile" instance="profile_name">
Table 6-22
Individual WLAN Profile Settings
WLAN Profile Settings
Description
Network Name (SSID)
Enter or modify the network name.
State
Click to enable or disable.
Suite
Select a security suite configuration:
None
Select None to not select a security suite.
WEP
WEP security is available in Infrastructure mode. WEP is a simple and
efficient security mode, encrypting the data using the RC4 algorithm.
However, WEP has become more vulnerable due to advances in hacking
technology. State-of-the-art equipment can find WEP keys in 5 minutes.
For stronger security, use WPA, or the stronger WPA2, with AES (CCMP).
WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode
Authentication
If WEP security suite is selected,
select one of these authentication
options which appear.
Shared
: Encryption keys of both parties are compared as a form of
authentication. If mismatches occur, no connection establishes.
Open
: A connection establishes without first checking for matching
encryption keys. If keys do not match, however, data becomes garbled
and prevents connectivity on the IP level.
If WPA or WPA2/IEEE 802.11i security suite is selected,
select one of
these authentication options which appear:
PSK:
In pre-shared keying, the same key must be configured both on the
SGX 5150 side and on the access point side.
IEEE 802.1X:
This authentication method communicates with a RADIUS
authentication server that is part of the network. The RADIUS server
matches the credentials sent by the SGX 5150 unit with an internal
database. If IEEE 802.1X is selected under authentication type, select the
protocol to use to authenticate the WLAN client.
PMF
Select one of the following options regarding protected management frames
(PMF):
Disable
Optional
Required
Note:
This option is available when the WPA2/WPA mixed mode suite and
the IEEE 802.1x authentication settings are selected.
Key Type
Select a key Hex or Passphrase key type after indicating the security suite
type.
Key Size
If the WEP security suite is selected, then select 40 or 104 bit key size in this
field which becomes available.
