What is 802.1x Authentication?
802.1x is a framework for authenticated MAC-level access control, defines Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over
LANs (WAPOL). The standard encapsulates and leverages much of EAP, which was defined for dial-up authentication with
Point-to-Point Protocol in RFC 2284.
Beyond encapsulating EAP packets, the 802.1x standard also defines EAPOL messages that convey the shared key
information critical for wireless security.
What is Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)?
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs.
TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP
provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
What is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)?
Security issues are a major concern for wireless LANs, AES is the U.S. government’s next-generation cryptography algorithm,
which will replace DES and 3DES.
What is Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP)?
The IEEE 802.11f Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) supports Access Point Vendor interoperability, enabling roaming of
802.11 Stations within IP subnet.
IAPP defines messages and data to be exchanged between Access Points and between the IAPP and high layer management
entities to support roaming. The IAPP protocol uses TCP for inter-Access Point communication and UDP for RADIUS request/
response exchanges. It also uses Layer 2 frames to update the forwarding tables of Layer 2 devices.
What is Wireless Distribution System (WDS)?
The Wireless Distribution System feature allows WLAN AP to talk directly to other APs via wireless channel, like the wireless
bridge or repeater service.
What is Universal Plug and Play (uPNP)?
UPnP is an open networking architecture that consists of services, devices, and control points. The ultimate goal is to allow
data communication among all UPnP devices regardless of media, operating system, programming language, and wired/
wireless connection.
What is Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Size?
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) indicates the network stack of any packet is larger than this value will be fragmented
before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will indicate its MRU and will be
accepted. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller one of MTU and the peer’s MRU. The default is
value 1400.
What is Clone MAC Address?
Clone MAC address is designed for your special application that request the clients to register to a server machine with one
identified MAC address.
Since that all the clients will communicate outside world through the WLAN Broadband Router, so have the cloned MAC
address set on the WLAN Broadband Router will solve the issue.
What is DDNS?
DDNS is the abbreviation of Dynamic Domain Name Server. It is designed for user own the DNS server with dynamic WAN
IP address.
What is NTP Client?
NTP client is designed for fetching the current timestamp from internet via Network Time protocol. User can specify time
zone, NTP server IP address.
