6. Use a RADIUS server to maintain an Access Control List (ACL), which is

a list of MAC addresses of end devices that can connect to the
network through access point.

7. Use an 802.1x security solution. 802.1x security provides a framework

to authenticate user traffic to a protected 802.11b network. Using
802.1x security provides secure data transmission by enabling secure
IAPP, enabling secure wireless hops, and dynamically rotating the
WEP keys. You configure the access point as an authenticator. For the
authentication server use an external RADIUS server. For help, see

Configuring 802.1x Security

on page 154.

For help troubleshooting security, see

on page 173.
