D-Link Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide
This section describes the security options available for VAPs and how to configure VAP
security. For more information about configuring VAPs, including VLAN configuration, see
“Configuring Virtual Access Points”
on page 62.
Each radio has eight VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0-7. By default, only VAP 0 on each radio is
enabled. VAP0 has the following default settings:
•
VLAN ID: 1
•
Broadcast SSID: Enabled
•
SSID: DLINK VAP
•
Security: None
•
MAC Authentication Type: None
All other VAPs are disabled by default. The default SSID for VAPs 1-7 is “Virtual Access
Point x” where x is the VAP ID.
To prevent unauthorized access to the Unified Access Point, we recommend that you select
and configure a security option other than None for the default VAP and for each VAP that you
enable.
To change VAP 0 or to enable and configure additional VAPs, select the VAP tab in the
Manage section.
