12-46 WS2000 Wireless Switch System Reference Guide
In the Advanced section of the screen, the Disallow MU to MU Communications setting would keep
mobile units from communicating directly with each other. Leo believes that people sometimes share files
directly, laptop to laptop, instead of using the file server. Leo does not want to prevent this type of
communication, so he leaves this option disabled.
Answer Broadcast ESS instructs the Access Ports on this WLAN to respond to communications from
mobile units that do not know what the ESSID for the wireless network is and which are using a default
ESSID of 101. Leo knows that there are no such units in the office; if there were they would not have worked
with the previous access point. Leo leaves this check box unchecked.
The Secure Beacon option prevents the APs from broadcasting the ESSID in its beacons. Leo turns on this
option to further secure his corporate network.
Leo clicks the Apply button to save his changes.
12.24.1 Security
The next step to set security for the engineering WLAN. He selects the toggle to the left of EngWLAN in the

displayed. Leo selects 802.1x EAP as the authentication method and WPA2-CCMP as the encryption
method.
