802.11b Wireless Security
The IK8560 contains the Meetinghouse AEGIS Client
®
, a comprehensive IEEE 802.1X supplicant for securing wired and wireless
networks. The Client is a standards-based implementation of IEEE 802.1X and can be configured to work with almost any
network equipment–wired or wireless–that supports the 802.1X authentication standard. The Client is interoperable with 802.1X-
capable wireless APs and authentication servers including Microsoft's IAS and Cisco's ACS.
The Client uses public key authentication and encryption between Wireless APs (WAP) and roaming stations to exchange
dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys. In addition, network managers can control 802.1X user profiles from a centralized
RADIUS server or, in the case of TTLS, from a RADIUS Diameter or other AAA servers. The Client supports both wireless
(802.11a/b/g) and Ethernet interfaces.
Supported Protocols
The Client supports the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) - RFC 2284.
Supported authentication methods:
• CHAP/MD5 - RFC 1994
• EAP TLS Authentication Protocol - RFC 2716
• EAP Tunneled TLS (TTLS) - Internet Draft February 2002
• Cisco LEAP and PEAP
• Microsoft PEAP
Tested against the following servers:
• Funk Odyssey 3.2 using TLS, LEAP and TTLS
• AEGIS Server 1.1.4 using MD5, TLS, TTLS, LEAP and PEAP
• Cisco ACS 3.2 using MD5, TLS, LEAP and PEAP
Required Network Configuration Information
Because the Client accesses a network that is protected by the IEEE 802.1X protocol, you must configure EAP data
communication to match your network server parameters. If the EAP configuration doesn’t match your network configuration, you
can’t access the network. Therefore, make sure you have the correct network server parameters on hand when you configure
the client.
Saving Your Settings
!
Network setup information for the client is stored in the registry. To make sure that network information persists through
hard resets (i.e., power cycles), back up the registry after you complete network setup.
After settings are saved, tap Start > Power Tools > RegBackup
