These security features and solutions are listed below in the order of
amount of security and ease of use (most basic/least secure to most
secure). Allied Telesyn recommends you at least change the default
parameters, use basic security (WEP 64/128 security or security ID), and
enable secure IAPP and secure wireless hops (Steps 1 through 4).
To change the security features, perform the following procedure:
1. Change the default parameters on the access points and on the
wireless end devices.
Change the SSID from its default value of atilan. For help, see
Configuring the IEEE 802.11b Radio
2. Enable/disable access methods. For example, if you are not using
Telnet sessions to configure or manage your access point, you can
disable this access method. For help, see
3. Enable secure IAPP and secure wireless hops. Even if you are not
configuring an 802.1x-enabled network, you can enable secure IAPP,
which prevents unauthorized users from joining the spanning tree.
For help, see
Enabling Secure IAPP and Secure Wireless Hops
4. For 802.11b, configure basic WEP 64/128 security. You can configure
up to four different WEP keys on the access point and most wireless
end devices, and then you specify which key is being used to encrypt
data. You should periodically change which WEP key these devices
use. For help, see
Configuring WEP 64/128 Security
5. Use a password server to maintain a list of authorized users who can
configure and manage the access points.
Or, change the default login for users who need to be able to
configure or manage the access point. For help, see
