7.2.1.2 802.1X Parameters
The configuration of 802.1X parameters enables Radius-based 802.1X authentication with a dynamic
WEP key. Once selected, Radius Server Setting will be available.
The configuration screen is as follows:
802.1x Parameters
802.1X Version
This setting selects between v1 or v2 of the 802.1x EAPOL.
When v1 is selected, both v1 and v2 clients can associate with the access
point. However, when v2 is selected, only v2 clients can associate with the
access point.
Most modern wireless clients support v2. In the event that there are stations
that do not support v2, select the option v1.
By default, the value of the setting is v2.
WEP Key Size The setting can be configured as either 40 bits or 104 bits.
Re-keying Period
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which the broadcast key
remains valid. Upon expiration of Re-keying Period, the broadcast key will no
longer be valid and the renewal of the broadcast key will be required.
The default is 14400 seconds (i.e. 4 hours).
A value of 0 disables re-keying.
