Defining a WLAN Service with No Authentication

You can set up a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) Service that will bypass all authentication mechanisms and run the ExtremeWireless Appliance with no authentication of a wireless device user.

A WLAN Service with no authentication can still control network access using policy rules. For more information on how to set up policy rules that allow access only to specified IP addresses and ports, see Policy Rules.

To define a WLAN Service with No Authentication:

  1. From the top menu, click VNS.
  2. In the left pane expand the WLAN Services pane, then click the WLAN Service you want to configure or click New.
  3. Configure the service as described in WLAN Services Overview.
  4. Click the Auth & Acct tab.
  5. From the Authentication Mode drop-down list, select Disabled.
  6. Click Save.
