Default Open Ports
You need to be aware that when you are configuring security for your wireless 
network, some (trusted) ports on Alcatel Mobility Controllers are open by 
default. For details on these ports, refer to the AOS-W Reference.
Configuring Wireless User Authentication Only
802.1x can be used to authenticate users. The procedure for configuring 
wireless user authentication is described in this section.
1. Prior to configuring 802.1x on the switch, the following need to be 
configured:
z
Role – The role that will be assigned as the default role for the 802.1x 
users. (Refer to “Configuring Firewall Roles and Policies” on page 65).
z
Authentication Server – The authentication server the switch will use 
to validate the users. Verify that the authentication server supports 
802.1x. Most LDAP servers do not. The Internal Server does not sup-
port 802.1x either. (Refer to “Configuring AAA Servers” on page 81)
z
AP encryption – Identify the SSID that the 802.1x user will use and set 
the opmode to dynamic WEP or dynamic TKIP. (Refer to “Deploying 
Access Points” on page 1).

Navigate to the C

Authentication
 page.
