Wireless Security Overview
Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication
between wireless clients, access points and the wired network.
Wireless security methods available on the P-2812HNU-51c are data encryption,
wireless client authentication, restricting access by device MAC address and hiding
the P-2812HNU-51c identity.
The following figure shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security
methods available on your P-2812HNU-51c.
Note: You must enable the same wireless security settings on the P-2812HNU-51c
and on all wireless clients that you want to associate with it.
IEEE 802.1x
In June 2001, the IEEE 802.1x standard was designed to extend the features of
IEEE 802.11 to support extended authentication as well as providing additional
