Configuring LEAP Security
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), also known as
Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/passwordbased authentication
between a wireless client and a RADIUS server. In the 802.1x framework,
traffic cannot pass through an Ethernet hub or wireless network access
point until it successfully authenticates itself.
The station must identify itself and prove that it is an authorized user
before it is actually allowed to use the LAN. LEAP also delivers a session
key to the authenticated station, so that future frames can be encrypted
with a key that is different than keys used by others sessions
To use LEAP security, you need:
•
A RADIUS server
• Cisco access points
Note: LEAP security is not supported with Microsoft security.
