1 From the Quick Setup screen, click the Create button to the right of the Security
Policy item.
The New Security Policy screen displays with the Manually Pre-shared key/No
authentication and No Encryption options selected. Naming and saving such a policy
(as is) would provide no security and might only make sense in a guest network
wherein no sensitive data is either transmitted or received. Consequently, at a
minimum, a basic security scheme (in this case WEP 128) is recommended.
NOTE
For information on configuring the other (more sophisticated) encryption and authentication
options available to the access point, refer to the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product

2 Ensure the Name of the security policy entered suits the intended configuration or
function of the policy.
Multiple WLANs can share the same security policy, so be careful not to name
security policies after specific WLANs or risk defining a WLAN to single policy.
Extreme Networks recommends naming the policy after the attributes of the
authentication or encryption type selected.
