Summit WM3000 Series Controller System Reference Guide 113
Editing the WLAN Configuration
Security measures for the controller and its WLANs are critical. Use the available controller security
options to protect each WLAN from wireless vulnerabilities, and secure the transmission of RF packets
between WLANs and the MU traffic they support.
The user has the capability of configuring separate security policies for each WLAN. Each security
policy can be configured based on the authentication (802.1x EAP, Hotspot) and /or encryption (WEP,
WPA/WPA2-TKIP or WPA2/CCMP) scheme.
All of the default WLANs are available for modification when the user accesses the Wireless LANs
screen. However, the WLAN requires an authentication or encryption scheme be applied before it can
begin securing the data traffic within the controller-managed wireless network. The Edit screen provides
a mean of modifying the existing WLANs SSID, description, VLAN ID assignment, inter-WLAN
communication definition and encryption and authentication scheme. To edit WLAN configuration
settings:
The VLAN ID is not associated with tagging. Tagging is used on the controller trunk and not on an individual WLAN.
1 Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
2 Click the Configuration tab.
3 Select a WLAN to modify from the table.
Manual mapping of
WLANs
Use this option (its selected by default) for custom WLAN to Radio
mappings. When Advanced Configuration is disabled, the user cannot
conduct Radio – WLAN mapping. Additionally, the user cannot enable
WLANs with an index higher than 16. Once the Advanced Configuration
option is enabled, the following conditions must be satisfied (to
successfully disable it). No WLANs with an index higher than 16 should
be enabled. With advanced WLAN mapping the controller evenly
distributes the enabled WLANs to BSSIDs. Additionally, the Radio –
WLAN mapping should conform to the following:
BSS ID 1
– Possible WLANs 1,5,9,13
BSS ID 2
– Possible WLANs 2,6,10,14
BSS ID 3
– Possible WLANs 3,7,11,15
BSS ID 4
– Possible WLANs 4, 8, 12,16
