Configuring Access Point Security
Security measures for the AP-7131N-FGR and its ‘WLANs are critical. Use the available
AP-7131N-FG security options to protect the access point LAN from wireless vulnerabilities, and
safeguard the transmission of RF packets between the access point and its associated MUs.
WLAN security can be configured on an ESS by ESS basis on the access point. Sixteen separate
ESSIDs (WLANs) can be supported on an access point, and must be managed (if necessary) between
the 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n radio. 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) or encryption (WPA2/CCMP) scheme best suited to the coverage area that security policy
supports.
The access point can also create VPN tunnels to securely route traffic through a IPSEC tunnel and
block transmissions with devices interpreted as Rogue APs.
