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.

However, selecting any other authetnication or encryption checkbox displays a

configuration field for the selected security scheme within the New Security Policy screen.

NOTE

An existing security policy can be edited from the Security Configuration screen by selecting an

existing policy and clicking the Edit button. Use the Edit Security Policy screen to edit the policy. For

more information on editing an existing security policy, refer to security configuration sections

described in steps 4 and 5.

3. Use the Name field to define a logical security policy name.

Remember, 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

Mobility recommends naming the policy after the attributes of the authentication or

encryption type selected (for example, WPA2 Allow TKIP).

4. Enable and configure an Authentication option if necessary for the target security policy.

5. Enable and configure an Encryption option if necessary for the target security policy.
