System configuration management
The configuration settings for WPA are summarized in the following table:
WPA Configuration Settings
WPA Configuration Settings
WPA and WPA2 preshared key only
WPA and WPA2 over 802.1X
Encryption: Enabled
Authentication Setup: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK,
or WPA-WPA2-mixed
Cipher Suite: WEP/TKIP/AES-CCMP
WPA Preshared Key Type: Hex/ASCII
Encryption: Enabled
Authentication Setup: WPA, WPA2,
WPA-WPA2-mixed
Cipher Suite: WEP/TKIP/AES-CCMP (requires
RADIUS server to be specified)
1: You must enable data encryption to enable all types of encryption in the access point.
2: Select TKIP when any WPA clients do not support AES. Select AES only if all clients support
AES.
Configuring 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard framework for network access control that uses a
central RADIUS server for user authentication. This control feature prevents
unauthorized access to the network by requiring an 802.1X client application
to submit user credentials for authentication. The 802.1X standard uses the
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to pass user credentials (either
digital certificates, usernames and passwords, or other) from the client to
the RADIUS server. Client authentication is then verified on the RADIUS
server before the access point grants client access to the network.
The 802.1X EAP packets are also used to pass dynamic unicast session
keys and static broadcast keys to wireless clients. Session keys are unique
to each client and are used to encrypt and correlate traffic passing between
a specific client and the access point. You can also enable broadcast
key rotation, so the access point provides a dynamic broadcast key and
changes it at a specified interval.
