WEP Keys
— Sets WEP key values. The user must first select ASCII or hexadecimal keys. Each WEP
key has an index number. Enter key values that match the key type and length settings. Enter 5
alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit keys, or enter 13 alphanumeric
characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit keys. (Default: Hex, no preset value)
Note
.
If WEP authentication is selected for WDS communication, you will then only have one set of
encryption for the entire channel.
WPA & WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
was introduced as an interim solution for the vulnerability of WEP pending the
adoption of a more robust wireless security standard. WPA2 includes the complete wireless security standard,
but also offers backward compatibility with WPA.
WPA:
Clients using WPA for authentication.
WPA2:
Clients using WPA2 for authentication.
WPA-Auto:
Clients using WPA or WPA2 for authentication.
WPA Algorithms:
Selects the data encryption type to use. (Default is determined by the Security Mode
selected.)
TKIP
— Uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) keys for encryption. WPA specifies TKIP as the data
encryption method to replace WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing
data encryption keys.
AES
— Uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys for encryption. WPA2 uses AES Counter-Mode
encryption with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) for message integrity. The
AES Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol (AESCCMP) provides extremely robust data confidentiality using a
128- bit key. Use of AES-CCMP encryption is specified as a standard requirement for WPA2. Before
implementing WPA2 in the network, be sure client devices are upgraded to WPA2-compliant hardware.
Auto
— Uses either TKIP or AES keys for encryption. WPA and
