LABEL DESCRIPTION
Group Data
Privacy Group Data Privacy allows you to choose TKIP (recommended) or WEP for
broadcast and multicast (“group”) traffic if the Key Management Protocol is WPA
and WPA Mixed Mode is disabled. WEP is used automatically if you have enabled
WPA Mixed Mode .
All unicast traffic is automatically encrypted by TKIP when WPA or WPA-PSK Key
Management Protocol is selected.
WPA Group Key
Update Timer The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK
key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new
group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of
automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a
periodic basis. Setting of the
WPA Group Key Update Timer is also supported in
WPA-PSK mode. The ZyAIR default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Authentication
Databases When you configure Key Management Protocol to WPA , the Authentication
Databases must be RADIUS Only . You can only use the Local User Database
Only with 802.1x Key Management Protocol .
