Security

Note

Before configuring this feature, make sure you are familiar with the
names of the interfaces as described in “Understanding Interfaces
as Presented in the CLI” on page 278. Th
e interface name you
reference in a command determines whether a setting applies to a
wired or wireless interface, the internal or guest network, or (on a
two-radio access point) to radio one or radio two.

The following sections show examples of how to use the CLI to view and
configure security settings on the access point. These settings correspond
to those available from the web UI on the Advanced > Security page. For a
detailed discussion of concepts and configuration options, see Chapter
10, “Configuring Security” on page 105.

This section focuses on configuring security on the internal network.
(Security on the guest network defaults to plain text. See “Plain Text” on
page 115.)

Table 10 shows a quick view of Security commands and links to detailed
examples.
