Configuring WLAN Security Policies

As WLANs are being defined for an Mobility 7131 Access Point, a security policy can be created or

an existing policy edited (using the Create or Edit buttons within the Security Configuration screen)

to best serve the security requirements of the WLAN. Once new policies are defined, they are

available within the New WLAN or Edit WLAN screens and can be mapped to any WLAN. A single

security policy can be used by more than one WLAN if its logical to do so. For example, there may

be two or more WLANs within close proximity of each other requiring the same data protection

scheme.

To create a new security policy or modify an existing policy:

1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Security from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu

tree.

The Security Configuration screen appears with existing policies and their attributes

displayed.

Enable IP Filtering Selecting this checkbox allows the WLAN to employ filter policies and rules to determine

which IP packets are processed normally over the WLAN and which are discarded. If

discarded, a packet is deleted and ignored (as if never received).

IP Filtering Select the IP Filtering button to display a screen where existing IP filter policies can be

applied to the WLAN to allow or deny IP packets in either an incoming or outgoing direction

based on the rules defined for the policy.
