Authentication |
| Specify whether or not the access point |
|
| authenticates VAP clients. The options |
|
| are described here. |
|
| Open System: The access point does not |
|
| authenticate the VAP clients. All clients, |
|
| even those without the correct WEP keys, |
|
| are allowed to connect to the access |
|
| point. This is the default setting. (Clients |
|
| in an open system VAP still must have the |
|
| correct WEP key to encrypt and decrypt |
|
| the traffic they exchange with the access |
|
| point.) |
|
| Shared Key: Clients must have the correct |
|
| WEP key to connect with the access |
|
| point. Clients without the correct WEP key |
|
| may not associate with the device. |
|
| Both Open System and Shared Key: |
|
| Clients configured in WEP shared key |
|
| mode must have the correct WEP key to |
|
| connect to the access point. Clients |
|
| configured in WEP open system mode do |
|
| not need the correct WEP key to connect |
|
| to the access point. |
