Conguring Security on the Wireless Access Point
You congure secure wireless client access by conguring security for each virtual access point (VAP) that you
enable. You can congure up to 16 VAPs per radio that simulate multiple APs in one physical access point. By default,
only one VAP is enabled. For each VAP, you can congure a unique security mode to control wireless client access.
Each radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0-15. By default, only VAP 0 on each radio is enabled. VAP0 has the
following default settings:
•) VLAN ID: 1
•) Broadcast SSID: Enabled
•) SSID: dlink1
•) Security: None
•) MAC Authentication Type: None
•) Redirect Mode: None
All other VAPs are disabled by default. The default SSID for VAPs 1–15 is ”dlinkx” where x is the VAP ID.
To prevent unauthorized access to the UAP, we recommend that you select and congure a security option other than
None for the default VAP and for each VAP that you enable.
For information about how to congure the security settings on each VAP, see “Virtual Access Point Settings” on page
