• WPA and WPA-PSK (TKIP). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides
strong data security with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. The very
strong authentication along with dynamic per-frame rekeying of WPA makes it virtually
impossible to compromise.
WPA uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure
and Enable Security Profiles on p
age 48
and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with
RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55
.
WPA-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see
Configure and Enable Security Profiles on
p
age 48 and Configure WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on p
age 56.
• WPA2 and WPA2-PSK (AES).
Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) data encryption
provides strong data security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The
very strong authentication along with dynamic per-frame rekeying of WPA2 makes it
virtually impossible to compromise.
WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure
and Enable Security Profiles on p
age 48
and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with
RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55
.
WPA2-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see
Configure and Enable Security Profiles on
p
age 48 and Configure WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on p
age 56.
• WPA & WPA2 and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK mixed modes. The
se modes support data
encryption either with both WPA and WPA2 clients or with both WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK clients and provide the most reliable security.
WPA & WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see
Configure and Enable Security Profiles on p
age 48 and Configure WPA with RADIUS,
WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on pa
ge 55.
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK)
for authentication; for more
information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Co
nfigure
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on page 56.
Security Profiles
• Before You Change the SSID, WEP, and WPA Settings
• Configure and Enable Security Profiles
Security profiles let you configure unique security
settings for each SSID on each radio
of the
wireless access point. For each radio, the wireless access point supports up to eight security
profiles (BSSIDs) that you can configure on the individual Edit Wireless Network screens that
are accessible from the Edit Security Profile screen (see Configure and Enable Security
Profiles on page 48).
