3e–525A–3 Wireless Access Point

Chapter 3: Access Point Confi guration

29000167-001 B

Event Type

Description

Audit Log Confi guration Modifi ed Any modifi cation to the audit log

confi guration (enable/disable,

recorded event types, etc) will trig-

ger the creation of an audit record.

Key Transfer Error

Any error detected during the

dynamic key exchange, either to

the station or the authentication

server.

Key Zeroized

The keys are zeroized including:

1. Transitioning from static key to

DKE (and vice versa)

2. Transitioning to bypass mode
Individual log messages appear

from the application and driver

since keys are held in both loca-

tions.

STA Failed Authentication

A station's authentication request

is dropped because it doesn't

match the MAC address fi lter.

STA Associated

A station successfully associates to

the AP.

Encryption Algorithm Changed

The encryption algorithm is

changed, including bypass mode.

Failed FIPS Policy

All HMAC/AES decrypt errors

that can be detected.

MAC Filter Changed

The MAC address fi lter is changed

including adding/deleting,

enable/disable, and changing fi lter

type.

Time Changed

Whenever the time is changed via

the GUI or at bootup if the time is

within two minutes of 11/30/1999,

0hr, 0min.

Self Test Activiated

The self-test function is run.
