Fortress Bridge: Configuration

unconfigured VAPs for radios in AP radio mode on the VIRTUAL

CCESS POINTS display frame on the INTERFACES screen.

You can view the settings that assign SSIDs (and associated

settings) for the radio’s VAPs in the

VIRTUAL ACCESS POINTS

frame on the

INTERFACES screen. The Edit button for each VAP

provides access to the fields that configure these settings.

Sections 3.3.4.1 through 3.3.4.5 describe the fields available

through the

Edit buttons in the VIRTUAL ACCESS POINTS frame.

Section 3.3.4.6 provides step-by-step instructions to configure

them.

3.3.4.1 SSID

CAUTION: The net-

work is not fully

secure until the radio

SSIDs have been

changed from their de-

fault settings.

The service set identifier associated with each VAP is a unique

string of up to 32 characters included in the packet headers of

wireless traffic. SSIDs are used like passwords to identify

which devices can connect to the wireless network and to

determine the parameters of their access once they are

connected.
