The following table briefly describes the four security settings you can assign
to an SSID using the Express Security page.
Security Type
Description
No Security
The least secure option. Use this option only for SSIDs
used in a public space and assign it to a VLAN that
restricts access to your network.
Static WEP
Key
More secure than no security. However, static WEP keys
are vulnerable to attack.
EAP
Authentication
Enables 802.1x authentication. Requires an IP address
and shared secret for an authentication server on your
network (server authentication port 1645). You do not
need to enter a WEP key.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) permits wireless access to
users authenticated against a database through the
services of an authentication server, then encrypts their IP
traffic with stronger algorithms than those used in WEP.
As with EAP authentication, you must enter the IP address
and shared secret for an authentication server on your
network (server authentication port 1645).
