WPA Enterprise
WPA Enterprise with RADIUS is an implementation of the Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE
802.11i standard, which includes CCMP (AES), and TKIP mechanisms. The
Enterprise mode requires the use of a RADIUS server to authenticate users.
This security mode is backwards-compatible with wireless clients that support
the original WPA.
Cipher Suites
Select the cipher suite you want to use:
•
TKIP
•
CCMP (AES)
•
TKIP and CCMP (AES)
Both TKIP and AES clients can associate with the access
point. WPA clients must have one of the following to be able
to associate with the access point:
•
A valid TKIP key
•
A valid AES-CCMP key
Clients not configured to use a WPA Personal cannot
associate with the access point.
Key
The Pre-shared Key is the shared secret key for WPA
Personal. Enter a string of at least 8 characters to a maximum
of 63 characters. Acceptable characters include upper and
lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special
symbols such as @ and #.
Broadcast Key
Refresh Rate
Enter a value to set the interval at which the broadcast
(group) key is refreshed for clients associated to this VAP.
The valid range is 0–86400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates
that the broadcast key is not refreshed.
