WPA2-AES:CCMP.
To enable WPA and WPA-PSK, configure WPA-TKIP. To enable WPA2 and WPA2-PSK, configure
WPA2-AES.
When WPA or WPA2 is configured, Radius-based 802.1x authentication with TKIP encryption method is
enabled. Under this configuration, the Pre-Shared Key option should be disabled.
The security level of this method is known to be very high.
