If the
RTS/CTS
value is greater than the
Fragmentation Threshold
value (see next), then the RTS (Request
To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they
reach
RTS/CTS
size.
Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could
negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.
6.2.4 Fragmentation Threshold
A
Fragmentation Threshold
is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes) that can be
sent in the wireless network before the ZyWALL will fragment the packet into smaller data frames.
A large
Fragmentation Threshold
is recommended for networks not prone to interference while you should
set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to interference.
If the
Fragmentation Threshold
value is smaller than the
RTS/CTS
value (see previously) you set then the
RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented
before they reach
RTS Threshold
size.
6.3 Wireless
Security
Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless clients, access
points and other wireless.
The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your ZyWALL. The highest security level is
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication. It requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote
Authentication Dial In User Service) server either on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication
service for wireless clients.
Figure 6-2 ZyWALL Wireless Security Levels
If you do not enable any wireless security on your ZyWALL, your network is accessible to any wireless
networking device that is within range.
