- Value
· None: No encryption
· WEP: WEP with up to four static keys (40 bit or 128 bit in ASCII or hex) defined under
WEP/ PSK Keys.
· WEP EAP – WEP with key generated during EAP authentication
· WPA-PSK (WPA Personal) – TKIP with PSK (ASCII passphrase or hex PSK)
defined under WEP/PSL Keys.
· WPA-TKIP (WPA Enterprise) – TKIP with key generated during EAP authentication
· WPA CCKM (WPA Enterprise) – TKIP with key generated during EAP authentication and
with Cisco key management protocol for fast re-authentication
· WPA2-PSK (WPA2 Personal) – AES with PSK (ASCII passphrase or hex PSK) defined
under WEP/PSK Keys.
· WPA2-AES (WPA2 Enterprise) – AES with key generated during EAP authentication.
· WPA2-CCKM (WPA2 Enterprise) – TKIP with key generated during EAP authentication
and with Cisco key management protocol for fast re-authentication.
Encryption
– When the administrator selects and encryption type that requires the
definition of WEP keys or a pre-shared key (PSK), the WEB keys/PSKs button become active.
Click
WEP keys/PSKs
to define WEP keys or a PSK.
EAP Type
– When the administrator selects an EAP type, the Credentials button becomes
active. Click
Credentials
to define authentication credentials for the selected EAP type.
