The
Wireless Security
dialog box appears.

Do one of the following:
•
Click
WPA-Personal
to use the WPA-Personal security mode.
WPA-Personal (also called WPA-PSK) uses a passphrase for authentication. This
method is recommended for small, private wireless networks, which want to
authenticate and encrypt wireless data. Both WPA and the newer, more secure
WPA2 (802.11i) will be accepted. To allow only the more secure WPA2 and not
WPA, see
Manually Configuring a WLAN
on page 122.
•
Click
WEP
to use the WEP security mode.
Using WEP, wireless stations must use a pre-shared key to connect to your
network. WEP is widely known to be insecure, and is supported mainly for
compatibility with existing networks and stations that do not support other
methods.
•
Click
No Security
to use no security to create a public, unsecured access point.

Do one of the following:
•
To bridge the LAN and WLAN networks so that they appear as a single
unified network, click
Bridge Mode
.
Traffic from the WLAN to the LAN will be allowed to pass freely, and the LAN
and WLAN will share a single IP address range.
Note:
This option creates a bridge called "default-bridge", which includes the WLAN
and the LAN. If desired, you can later remove this bridge by running the Wireless
Configuration Wizard again, and choosing
Firewall Mode
. For information on bridges,
see
Using Bridges
on page 139.
•
To isolate the LAN from the WLAN, click
Firewall Mode
.
The WLAN and LAN will be assigned separate, isolated IP networks, and traffic
from the WLAN to the LAN will be subjected to the defined firewall policy.
By default, traffic from the WLAN to the LAN will be blocked, and traffic from
the LAN to the WLAN will be allowed. To allow traffic from the WLAN to the
LAN, you must create firewall rules. For information, see
Using Firewall Rules
on page 172.

WEP
If you chose
WEP
, the
Wireless Configuration-WEP
dialog box appears.
Do the following:
1.
Choose a WEP key length.
The possible key lengths are:
•
64 Bits
- The key length is 10 hexadecimal characters.
•
128 Bits
- The key length is 26 hexadecimal characters.
•
152 Bits
- The key length is 32 hexadecimal characters.
Some wireless card vendors call these lengths 40/104/128, respectively.
Note that WEP is generally considered to be insecure, regardless of the selected key
length.
2.
In the text box, type the WEP key, or click
Random
to randomly generate a
key matching the selected length.
The key is composed of characters 0-9 and A-F, and is not case-sensitive. The wireless
stations must be configured with this same key.

The
