Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuring a WLAN
■ Enabled—Indicates whether the WLAN has been enabled. The Wireless
Edge Services zl Module does not deploy a WLAN configuration to RPs
until you enable the WLAN. By default, all WLANs are disabled.
■ SSID—Displays the WLAN’s SSID. By default, this SSID simply indicates
the WLAN’s index number. You will change this to a network name when
you configure the WLAN.
■ Description—Describes the WLAN so that you can quickly see its purpose.
For example, it might read “Internet access for guests.”
■ VLAN—Displays the VLAN interface in which traffic received from this
WLAN is forwarded. Initially, all WLANs are assigned to the default VLAN,
VLAN 1. You will learn more about VLAN assignment in “Setting Basic
Configuration Options: SSID and VLAN Interface” on page 4-30 and “VLAN
Assignment” on page 4-80.
■ Authentication and Encryption—Display the security options implemented
on the WLAN.
When you want to establish a new WLAN in your network (or to alter settings
of an existing WLAN), select a WLAN and click the Edit button at the bottom
of the screen.
Note You must select a WLAN with index number 1 to 16 unless you enable
advanced mode configuration. See “Advanced Mode Configuration” on
page 4-11.
