Security Profile

Overview

You can configure WLAN security policies to authenticate identities of wireless terminals and encrypt user packets, protecting the security of the WLAN and users. The supported WLAN security policies include open system authentication, WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-802.1X, WAPI-PSK, and WAPI-certificate. You can configure one of them in a security profile. Open system authentication and WPA/WPA2/-802.1X need to be configured together with NAC to manage user access. For details about NAC, see "NAC Configuration (Unified Mode)" in the S2720, S5700, and S6700 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

CLI-based Procedure

To connect a STA to the WLAN, bind the security profile to a VAP profile. The STA can connect to the WLAN through an SSID only after it completes identity authentication according to the security policy configured in the VAP profile. For the detailed configuration, see Configuring a WLAN Security Policy.

For WDS services, bind the security profile to the WDS profile. To ensure WDS security, set the security policy to WPA2+PSK+AES. For details, see Configuring a Security Profile.

For Mesh services, bind the security profile to the Mesh profile. To ensure Mesh security, set the security policy to WPA2+PSK+AES. For details, see Configuring a Security Profile.
