By default, the wireless1 interface is bound to the Wzone1 zone and does not have an IP
address assigned to it. If you want to use the wireless1 interface, then you must configure
an IP address for it. Refer to the NetScreen-5GT Wireless New Features Guide for more
information.
The NetScreen device allows any type of traffic to the Internet that originates from
devices in your Trust zone, but does not allow any traffic that originates in the Internet to
reach your network. You can configure additional restrictions; refer to
Additional Policies” on page 25

SSID: “netscreen open”

Activate Changes > click the Activate Changes button
CLI
set ssid name “netscreen open”
set ssid “netscreen open” authentication open encryption

set ssid “netscreen open” interface wireless2

Once you have set an SSID to the wireless2 interface, you can access the device using the
default wireless2 interface IP address in the steps provided with

Guide for configuration examples, SSID attributes, and CLI commands relating to
