Status Reporting Features
any client attempting to connect to the access point without verifying its
identity. The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to stations before
attempting authentication.
■ Associated: Shows if the station has been successfully associated with
the access point. Once authentication is completed, stations can associate
with the current access point, or reassociate with a new access point. The
association procedure allows the wireless system to track the location of
each mobile client, and ensures that frames destined for each client are
forwarded to the appropriate access point.
■ Forwarding Allowed: If 802.1X is being used shows if the station has
passed 802.1X authentication and is now allowed to forward traffic to the
access point. If authentication is not required this value is TRUE for all
clients.
■ Key Type: Displays one of the following:
• none: The client is not using encryption keys.
• static-wep: The client is using static WEP keys for encryption.
• dynamic-wep: The client is using 802.1X authentication with
dynamic WEP keys.
• wpa-psk-tkip: The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (pre-shared
key mode) with PSK keys. TKIP is used for the unicast and multicast
cipher.
• wpa-psk-aes: The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (pre-shared
key mode) with PSK keys. AES is used for the unicast and multicast
cipher.
• wpa-psk-tkip-wep: The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (pre-
shared key mode) with PSK keys. TKIP is used for the unicast cipher
and WEP is used for the multicast cipher.
• wpa-psk-aes-tkip: The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (pre-
shared key mode) with PSK keys. AES is used for the unicast cipher
and TKIP is used for the multicast cipher.
• wpa-tkip: The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (dynamic mode)
with TKIP keys. TKIP is used for the unicast and multicast cipher.
• wpa-aes: The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (dynamic mode)
with AES keys. AES is used for the unicast and multicast cipher.
• wpa-aes-tkip: The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (dynamic
mode). AES is used for the unicast cipher and TKIP is used for the
multicast cipher.
• wpa-tkip-wep: The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (dynamic
mode). TKIP is used for the unicast cipher and WEP is used for the
multicast cipher.
