WPA2 with 802.1X
Requires WPA-enabled
system and network card
driver
• Provides the strongest
security in WPA2-only mode
• Provides robust security in
mixed mode for WPA and
WPA2 clients
• Offers fast roaming
for time-sensitive client
applications
• Requires configured RADIUS
server
• 802.1X EAP type can
require management of digital
certificates for clients and
server
• Clients can require hardware
upgrade to be WPA2 compliant
WPA2 PSK Mode
Requires WPA-enabled
system and network card
driver
• Provides robust security in
small networks
• Requires manual
management of preshared
key
• Clients can require hardware
upgrade to be WPA2 compliant
Note: You must enable data encryption through the Web interface to
enable all types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the access point.
The access point can simultaneously support clients using various different
security mechanisms. The configuration for these security combinations are
outlined in the following table. Note that MAC address authentication can
be configured independently to work with all security mechanisms and is
indicated separately in the table. Required RADIUS server support is also
listed.
