ConfiguringSecurityontheWirelessAccessPoint
Youconfiguresecurewirelessclientaccessbyconfiguringsecurityforeachvirtualaccesspoint(VAP)thatyou
enable.Youcanconfigureupto16VAPsper radiothatsimulatemultipleAPsinonephysicalaccesspoint.By
default,onlyoneVAPisenabled.ForeachVAP ,youcanconfigureaunique
securitymodetocontrolwireless
clientaccess.
Eachradiohas16VAPs,withVAPIDsfrom0‐15.Bydefault,onlyVAP0oneachradioisenabled.VAP0hasthe
followingdefaultsettings:
•VLANID:1
•BroadcastSSID:Enabled
• SSID:dlink1
•Security:None
•MACAuthenticationType:None
• RedirectMode:None
Allother
VAPsaredisabledbydefault.ThedefaultSSIDforVAPs1–15is"dlinkx"wherexistheVAPID.
TopreventunauthorizedaccesstotheUAP,werecommendthatyouselectandconfigureasecurityoption
otherthanNoneforthedefaultVAPandforeachVAPthatyou
enable.
ForinformationabouthowtoconfigurethesecuritysettingsoneachVAP,see“V irtualAccessPointSettings”
