WPA Parameters
For the “Security Policy ” setting (see Table 2-9 on page 2-10 ), when you select WPA , the
WPA Parameters screen displays.
The configuration of WPA parameters enables WPA-TKIP or WPA-AES:CCMP. To enable WPA
and WPA-PSK, configure WPA-TKIP. To enable WPA2 and WPA2-PSK, configure
WPA-AES:CCMP.
When WPA or WPA2 is configured, Radius-based 802.1x authentication with TKIP encryption
method is enabled. With this configuration, the
Pre-Shared Key check box should be
disabled.The security level of this method is very strong.
When WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is configured, a pre-shared key, or Passphrase, is used for data
encryption and authentication. With this configuration, the
Pre-Shared Key check box should be
enabled. The key (passphrase) length must be between 8 and 63 characters, inclusive. The security
level of this method is also very strong.
Access Control
For the “Access Control ” setting (see Table 2-9 on page 2-10 ), the Access Control screen allows
