Using NID names for security
NID naming and security
Removing a NID name
To delete an existing NID name use the
command:
NID delete 123456789abc
where 123456789abc is the MAC address of
the NID name to be deleted.
You cannot delete using the name string - you
must use the NID value. This is because only
the MAC address is unique.
Alternatively, delete lines from the nids.txt file
(send and fetch the file as described in Using
the TFTP client program on page 105)
Listing NID names
To find out which NID names have been
entered, use the command:
NID list
This displays the NID name table.
Management security options on page 45 and
Management functions on page 79 explain how
to set the
admission
which stations can access the wireless LAN.
Use the CLM to issue the command:
set admission named
After that, the Nokia A032 will only accept new
connections with wireless stations which have
a defined NID name (i.e. those listed in the NID
name table). All other wireless stations will be
blocked, ensuring that unauthorized users
cannot access the network.
You can also use WEP keys for security – see
Data encryption and security on page 127.
