WPA Authentication Mode: Keys can be managed using two
different mechanisms. WPA can either use an external authentication
server (e.g., RADIUS) and EAP just like IEEE 802.1X is using or pre-
shared keys without need for additional servers. Wi-Fi calls these
"WPA-Enterprise"
and
"WPA-Personal",
respectively.
Both
mechanisms will generate a master session key for the Authenticator
(AP) and Supplicant (client station).
802.1x: The original security mechanism of IEEE 802.11 standard
was not designed to be strong and has proven to be insufficient for
most networks that require some kind of security. Task group I
(Security) of IEEE 802.11 working group has worked to address the
flaws of the base standard and in practice completed its work in May
2004. The IEEE 802.11i amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard was
approved in June 2004 and published in July 2004.
WPA Cipher suite/WPA2 Cipher Suite: The encryption piece of
WPA and WPA2 mandates the use of TKIP or, because it's
considered to be more secure than TKIP, preferably AES encryption.
Pre-Shared Key Format: You can select PASSPHRASE or HEX (64
characters).
Pre-Shared Key: You can input 128 characters key.
Authentication RADIUS Server: Input Port and IP Address and
Password.
4.3.4 Wireless Access Control
If you choose 'Allowed Listed', only those clients whose wireless
MAC addresses are in the access control list will be able to connect
to your Access Point. When 'Deny Listed' is selected, these wireless
clients on the list will not be able to connect the Access Point.
4.3.5 WDS Settings
Wireless
Distribution
System
uses
wireless
media
to
communicate with other AP’s, like the Ethernet does. To do this, you
must set these AP’s in the same channel and set MAC address of
other AP’s which you want to communicate with in the table and then
enable the WDS
