Radio Interface
5-71
5
Note: To use 802.1X on wireless clients requires a network card driver and 802.1X
client software that supports the EAP authentication type that you want to use.
Windows 2000 SP3 or later and Windows XP provide 802.1X client support.
Windows XP also provides native WPA support. Other systems require additional
client software to support 802.1X and WPA.
Encryption – Enable or disable the access point to use data encryption (WEP, TKIP,
or AES). If this option is selected when using static WEP keys, you must configure at
least one key on the access point and all clients. (Default: Disabled)
Note: You must enable data encryption through the web or CLI in order to enable all
types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the access point.
CLI Commands for WEP Shared Key Security – To enable WEP shared key security
for the 802.11g interface, use the interface wireless g command from the CLI
configuration mode to access the interface mode for the 802.11g radio. First use the
key command to define up to four WEP keys that can be used for all VAP interfaces
on the radio. Then use the vap command to access each VAP interface to configure
other security settings.
From the VAP interface configuration mode, use the authentication command to
enable WEP shared-key authentication and the encryption command to enable
data encryption. Then set one key as the transmit key for the VAP interface using
the transmit-key command. To view the current security settings, use the show
interface wireless g 0 command from the Exec mode.
