Step 1: Configuring the Wireless Profiles
A wireless profile specifies the security settings. Optionally, you can configure
advanced wireless settings, QoS settings, and MAC filtering. After you configure a
wireless profile, you can assign it to any access point.
Cisco strongly recommends WPA2 for wireless security. Other security modes are
vulnerable to attack.
Click Wireless on the menu bar, and then click Profiles in the navigation tree.
The Profiles page appears. The existing profiles appear in the List of Profiles table.
In the first row of the table, click the button in the Edit column to configure the
default profile.
Other options: Click Add to add an entry. Click the button in the Adv Config
NOTE
column, the QoS Config column, or the Configure MAC Filter column to edit
other settings (more information later in this chapter). To delete a profile,
check the box and then click Delete. To select all entries, check the box in
the first column of the table heading.
After you click Add or Edit, the Profile Configuration page appears.
Enter the following information in the Profile Configuration area:
•
Profile Name: For a new profile, enter a unique (alphanumeric) identifier for
this wireless profile. For the default profile, the name default1 cannot be
changed.
•
Security: Choose the type of security to be configured in this profile:
-
OPEN: No security. Any wireless device can connect (subject to access
point ACL policy).
-
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): WEP encryption is an older encryption
method that is not considered to be secure and can easily be broken.
Select this option only if you need to allow access to devices that do not
support WPA or WPA2.
