2 If a new security policy is required, click the Create button.
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 authentication 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. Extreme Networks
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.
Manually Pre-
Shared Key / No
Authentication Select this button to disable authentication. This is the
default value for the Authentication field.
Kerberos Select the Kerberos button to display the Kerberos
Configuration field within the New Security Policy screen.
For specific information on configuring Kerberos, see
“Configuring Kerberos Authentication” on page 174 .
802.1x EAP Select the 802.1x EAP button to display the 802.1x EAP
Settings field within the New Security Policy screen. For
specific information on configuring EAP, see “Configuring
802.1x EAP Authentication” on page 176 .
No Encryption If No Encryption is selected, encryption is disabled for the
security policy. If security is not an issue, this setting
avoids the overhead an encryption protocol causes on the
Altitude 35xx. No Encryption is the default value for the
Encryption field.
WEP 64 (40-bit
key) Select the WEP 64 (40 bit key) button to display the WEP

key) Select the WEP 128 (104 bit key) button to display the

screen. For specific information on configuring WEP 128,
see
“Configuring WEP Encryption” on page 179 .

Settings field within the New Security Policy screen. For
