Installation and Configuration Guide, (CQW-AP108AG)
Open encryption provides no protection, and is only recommended when security is not of concern.
WPA-AES is recommended for all installations, if possible.
Configure and view the following aspects of network and user security from the web interface:
•
Wireless Security—Select protocols for data encryption and user authentication.
•
Authentication Zones—Group resources for user authentication.
•
Administrator Security—Set the administrator login and password to access the AP.
•
RADIUS Servers—Identify authorized RADIUS servers and zones.
•
Security Statistics—View security-related statistics, including authentication, 802.1x
supplicant, and authentication diagnostic statistics.
•
Advanced—Configured advanced RADIUS properties.
Configuring Wireless Security
Choose
Wireless Security
from the Security Services menu to configure the protocols for data
encryption and user authentication. The Wireless Security panel contains two tabs:
•
Security Mode—Configure WPA, WEP, or open encryption and authentication.
•
SSID Auth—Identify the authentication server for the SSID.
Security Mode
Use the Security Mode tab (Figure 102) to assign the encryption and authentication methods,
including WPA, WEP, or Open. Allowing multiple encryption modes can be useful to support
installations with a mixture of client wireless adapters. There are some limitations to the allowed
combinations; it is not possible to enable both WEP and Open simultaneously. Also, Open and
WPA encryption modes require each mode to be mapped to a separate VLAN (see “Configuring
VLANs” on page 107).
