Configure RADIUS Server Settings

For authentication, accounting, or both authentication and accounting using RADIUS, you

need to configure primary servers and optional secondary servers. These RADIUS server

settings can apply to all devices that are connected to the wireless access point.

You can configure both IPv4 and IPv6 servers. In the IPv4 Radius Server Settings section,

nter I

Pv4 addresses only; in the IPv6 Radius Server Settings section, enter IPv6 addresses

only.

Setting Descriptions

Data Encryption TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standard encryption method

used with WPA. You can also use TKIP with WPA2.

Note: TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. NETGEAR

recommends WPA2 a

uthentication with AES encryption if you want to use the

11n rates and speed.

AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the stand

ard encryption method used

with WPA2.

Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the

WNDAP660 wireless ac

cess point does not support WPA with AES.

TKIP + AES TKIP + AES supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For

unica

st (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2

clients use AES.

For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES

is the only supported data

encryption method.

Passphrase Enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters

(inc

lusive). The default passphrase is sharedsecret.

You can display the actual passphrase by selecting the Show Passphrase in Clear Text
