Security

The access point is configured by default as an “open system,” which broadcasts a
beacon signal including the configured SSID. Wireless clients with an SSID setting
of “any” can read the SSID from the beacon and automatically set their SSID to
allow immediate connection to the nearest access point.

To improve wireless network security, you have to implement two main functions:
• Authentication: It must be verified that clients attempting to connect to the network

are authorized users.

• Traffic Encryption: Data passing between the access point and clients must be

protected from interception and eavesdropping.

For a more secure network, the access point can implement one or a combination of
the following security mechanisms:
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)page 6-63
• IEEE 802.1Xpage 5-15
• Wireless MAC address filteringpage 6-13
