HI All,
We’ve got 4 APs and 9 SMs all in AES. What do I need to do to get the units secured? Do I have to have a BAM server at the AP location? The manual is somewhat vague on the subject.
BAM this, AES that. I’m so confused! 
:lol:
If I don’t need a BAM, how do I secure the network from possible intrusion?
We’ll be adding about 28 more AP/SM in the next few months and they’re all AES.
I think we need a “Securing Canopy Networks for Dummies” guide book! 
BAM=authentication
AES=encryption
BAM will allow only those SM’s you identify in the database to authenticate. AES provides added protection to the over the air communication.
Does this help?
Ok, I understand the difference now…
So, because we’re not using a BAM server, will AES alone be enough to keep people off of the system? If so, how do I configure it?
Thank you!
No, BAM will keep people off that shouldn’t be there.
