NOTE

A VPN tunnel must also be established to ensure the access point is using a

secure connection to the external server providing NTP, syslog or Radius

resources. For more information, see “Defining an IPSec VPN tunnel” on

page 38.

To configure WPA2/CCMP:

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,

WPA2/CCMP is recommended.

NOTE

For information on configuring other encryption and authentication options

available to the access point, refer to the Brocade Mobility 7131 Series Access

Point Product Reference Guide. The guide is available on the Brocade Web

site.

2. Ensure the Name of the security policy suits the intended configuration 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.

Brocade recommends naming the policy after the attributes of the

authentication or encryption type selected.
