Security Mode

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable WPA Mode

The AP uses 802.1x to communicate with a

 

 

 

 

RADIUS server and authenticate clients.

 

 

 

 

The AP generates and distributes dynamic,

 

 

 

 

per user encryption keys (based on the

 

 

 

 

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)) to

 

 

 

 

each client following successful

 

 

 

 

authentication. WPA mode provides

 

 

 

 

message integrity checking to guard

 

 

 

 

against replay type attacks. This mode is

 

 

 

 

not available for all radio types.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable WPA-PSK

The AP uses a Pre-shared Key (manually

 

 

Mode

configured on both the AP and the clients)

 

 

 

 

to authenticate clients. The AP generates

 

 

 

 

and distributes dynamic, per user

 

 

 

 

encryption keys (based on TKIP) to each

 

 

 

 

client following successful authentication.

 

 

 

 

This mode is for customers who want to use

 

 

 

 

WPA but do not have a RADIUS server

 

 

 

 

installed on their network. This mode is not

 

 

 

 

available for all radio types.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You configure the AP to use a particular Security mode by setting the Authentication Mode parameter. The following table summarizes the Authentication Mode options available in the HTTP Interface's Configure

>Security > Authentication screen and describes how each of these options correspond to the six Security Modes listed above:
