NOTE
Even an access point configured with minimal values must protect its data against theft and
corruption. A security policy should be configured for WLAN1 as part of the basic configuration
outlined in this guide. A security policy can be configured for the WLAN from within the Quick
Setup screen. Policies can be defined over time and saved to be used as needed as the access
point’s security requirements change. Extreme Networks recommends you familiarize yourself
with the security options available on the access point before defining a security policy.

Configuring Basic Security
For testing basic connectivity, there is no reason to configure a server supported
authentication scheme. WEP 128 is described in this guide as a basic security scheme
sufficient to protect the access point’s initial transmissions. For details on configuring
more sophisticated authentication and encryption options available to the access point,
