Express Security Types

Table 3
Table 3 Security Types Assignable to SSIDs
Security Type Description
No Security This is the least secure option. Use this option only for
SSIDs that are used in a public space. Assign this
option to a VLAN that restricts access to your network.
Static WEP Key This option is more secure than no security. However,
static WEP keys are vulnerable to attack. If you
configure this settings, you should limit association to
the access point based on MAC address, or, if the
network does not have a RADIUS server, consider
using an access point as a local authentication server.
