Wireless Security Configuration
Using the Security Wizard
■ 6. WPA (AES-802.1x): Use WPA with 802.1X for user authentication and
to dynamically distribute encryption keys to clients. Sets the multicast
encryption cipher as AES, which must be supported on all wireless clients.
Requires a RADIUS server to be configured and available in the wired
network. The 802.1X parameters for reauthentication and key refresh can
also be configured.
• WPA Support: Specifies support for WPA or WPA2 clients.
– WPA: Clients using WPA only are supported.
– WPA2: Clients using WPA2 only are supported.
– WPA-WPA2: Clients using WPA or WPA2 are supported.
■ 7. WPA (TKIP-802.1x): Use WPA with 802.1X for user authentication
and to dynamically distribute encryption keys to clients. Sets the multicast
encryption cipher as TKIP, which must be supported on all wireless
clients. Requires a RADIUS server to be configured and available in the
wired network. The 802.1X parameters for reauthentication and key
refresh can also be configured.
• WPA Support: Specifies support for WPA or WPA2 clients.
– WPA: Clients using WPA only are supported.
– WPA2: Clients using WPA2 only are supported.
– WPA-WPA2: Clients using WPA or WPA2 are supported.
■ 8. WPA-PSK (TKIP-AES): Configures WPA Pre-Shared Key mode for
security using WPA2 negotiation to set the unicast encryption cipher
(TKIP or AES). TKIP encryption is used for multicast and broadcast
traffic. Requires the key type to be specified and a key value entered. All
wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate
with the access point.
• Hex: Enter a key as a string of 64 hexadecimal numbers.
• Ascii: Enter a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and
numbers. The string must be from 8 to 63 characters, which can
include spaces.
• WPA Support: Specifies support for WPA or WPA2 clients.
– WPA: Clients using WPA only are supported.
– WPA2: Clients using WPA2 only are supported.
– WPA-WPA2: Clients using WPA or WPA2 are supported.
■ 9. WPA (TKIP-AES-802.1x): Use WPA with 802.1X for user authentica-
tion and to dynamically distribute encryption keys to clients. Uses WPA2
negotiation to set the unicast encryption cipher (TKIP or AES) with TKIP
encryption used for the multicast cipher. Requires a RADIUS server to be
configured and available in the wired network. The 802.1X parameters
for reauthentication and key refresh can also be configured.
• WPA Support: Specifies support for WPA or WPA2 clients.
– WPA: Clients using WPA only are supported.
