Wireless LAN Policy
When creating or modifying a WLAN, the first screen that displays as part of the WLAN configuration screen
flow is the Basic Configuration screen. Use this screen to enable a WLAN and define its SSID, client behavior
and VLAN assignments.

2. Select the
the properties of an existing WLAN.

Lists each WLANs current VLAN mapping. When a client associates with a
WLAN, the client is assigned a VLAN by means of load balance distribution.
The VLAN is picked from a pool assigned to the WLAN. Keep in mind however,
typical deployments only map a single VLAN to a WLAN. The use of a pool is
strictly optional.
Displays the name of the authentication scheme this WLAN is using to secure
its client membership transmissions. None is listed if authentication is not
used within this WLAN. Refer to the Encryption type column if no
authentication is used to verify there is some sort of data protection used with
the WLAN or risk using this WLAN with no protection at all.
Displays the name of the encryption scheme this WLAN is using to secure its
client membership transmissions. None is listed if encryption is not used
within this WLAN. Refer to the Authentication type column if no encryption is
used to verify there is some sort of data protection used with the WLAN or risk
using this WLAN with no protection at all.
Lists the QoS policy applied to each listed WLAN. A QoS policy needs to be
custom selected (or created) for each WLAN in respect to the WLAN's intended
client traffic and the voice, video or normal data traffic it supports.
Lists the Association ACL policy applied to each listed WLAN. An Association
ACL is a policy-based Access Control List (ACL) that either prevents or allows
wireless clients from connecting to a WLAN. The mapping of an Association
ACL is strictly optional.
