NOTE: Unlike
Suite B Key
Establishment (Sec-
tion 4.1.5), the
Suite B
TLS Cipher option is
available regardless of
whether Suite B is
licensed on the Mesh
Point (Section 5.6).
tlscipher - specifies the list of supported cipher suites,
the sets of encryption and integrity algorithms, that the
Mesh Point will send to the 802.1X authentication server:
All
- the default, supports both
Legacy
and
Suite B
cipher suites (as described in the next two items)
Legacy
- supports Diffie-Hellman with RSA keys
(
DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA and DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA)
Suite B
- supports Diffie-Hellman with ECC keys
(
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA and ECDHE-ECDSA-
AES256-SHA
)
In EAP-TLS, the authentication server selects the cipher
suite to use from the list of supported suites sent by the
client device (or rejects the authentication request if none of
the proposed suites are acceptable).
subjectmatch - optionally provides a character string to
check against the subject Distinguished Name (DN) of the
authentication server certificate. Each RDN (Relative
Distinguished Name) in the sequence comprising the
certificate DN is compared to the corresponding RDN in the
string provided. When
subjectmatch is not specified, no
subject DN check is performed.
certhash - optionally provides a 64-character hash value
to check against the hash value of the authentication server
certificate. If no value is provided for
certhash, no hash
value check is performed.
3.4.11.9.2 WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA2-Mixed-PSK Security
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2-PSK are the
pre-shared key modes of WPA (as distinguished from the
enterprise modes described above). You can specify that
WPA-
PSK
or
WPA2-PSK
be used exclusively by the STA Interface, or
you can configure it to be able to use either by selecting
WPA2-
Mixed-PSK
.
Pre-shared key mode differs from enterprise mode in that PSK
bases initial key generation on a user-specified key or
passphrase instead of through digital certificates. Like
enterprise-mode, PSK mode generates encryption keys
dynamically and exchange keys automatically with connected
devices at user-specified intervals.
